Miami-Dade Fair

The last two years we have gone down to the Miami-Dade fair with our friends Joe & Lucy. We were so excited when it was time to go again. It was cooler this year and we really enjoyed every minute of it. The kids loved the rides, food, and games. Dallin figured out that he was really good at the dart and balloon game and would have played all night if Doug would have kept the money flowing. Dallin won himself a stuffed tiger and then begged Doug to play again to win Brooke a stuffed monkey. She was so excited and Dallin was beaming when he gave it to her. Last year Dallin was really afraid of most of the rides, but this year was completely different. He was tall enough to go on most of the rides and he wanted to try everything. He even went on some pretty intense rides that made Doug and I incredibly nervous. (At one point I thought Doug might ask them to stop the ride...I was shocked at how protective he was. Afterall, he's the one that is always throwing the kids around & teaching them to do flips off my windowseal and onto the bed)! We all had so much fun, even Brooke who slept through at least half of the excitement. I may have to convince Doug to fly back out next year!!
