oops
I didn't have time to tell you all about the non-maddening part of Monday. The non-maddening part of Wednesday got in the way. Well, not really, but... oh nevermind. Let me just tell you about it.
Monday we (Rob, me, Ally, and Anya) went to the state fair. (For any stalkers out there looking for me, well, this should give you a big clue) The weather turned out gorgeous, and Rob called me when he got off work (I was at the ear doc getting Ally's recheck that took 5 minutes, but had to sit in the office for an hour. Btw, her tube is fine, it was just all crud-ed up, so she couldn't see it very well last time. Yay) and asked if I wanted to go. Of course we did. How often do you get a mostly cloudy 80 degree day in the middle of Aguast at fair time? So, when I got home, we packed up everybody and everybody's 50 pounds of stuff, and off we went.
Ally got to see and pet a bunch of goats, horses, cows, pigs, and rabbits. She got to ride a pony (which she did all by herself for the last part of the ride. The beginning, she didn't think she could, so she insisted that Rob hold her hand, but then she got braver). She got to see a really lame lion and tiger show - buy hey, there were lions and tigers. We ate some food, and walked around a bunch, and then went to the rides.
She loved it, of course. She rode the Tilt-A-Whirl with Rob. The Tilt-A-Whirl!! That's a big kid ride. Not for little 2 1/2 year ollds. She loved it. In fact, Rob had to make her get off (That was a common theme though for all the rides) Anya and I stood around quite a bit just talking to each other. She sat very well in her stroller for most of the evening. Ally rode a bunch of little kid rides, and whined about not being about to go on the sky ride. it's one of those things that mostly looks like a ski lift and runs about half the length of the fairgrounds. Not happening with 2 strollers and 2 kids. We'll go tonight instead. She played a fishing game and won a couple little things and a stuffed dog. She named it Chloe. This is the first thing that she's actually given a name. Mostly things are just called dog or baby, etc. She's growing up. Of course Chloe is a day care friend's new baby sister's name, so she didn't make it up by herself, but still... So, that was nice, but when we got home, Anya wouldn't go to sleep, so I went to bed WAY too late.
So, Wednesday I left early and didn't have time to finish typing this, because I was going back to the fair. Mom's family (That looks weird. I know I'm her family, but I meant the fdamily that she lives with) and my uncle were going to be there, so I grabbed Ally out of day care early and we walked around some more. No rides yesterday, lots of animals, and some more whining about the sky ride. Very tiring.
Tonight we have a babysitter coming for Anya, so we can go with Ally by herself, and ride anything she wants too. I'm sure the sky ride will be first. I'm also planning on more fair food, because , really, what's a better reason to go to the fair for adults? Yummy. Then, that's it. no more fair. We've already spent far too much money this week there. It's just so hard not too, when it's been gorgeous weather and Ally loves it so much.
