Big Fresno Fair

Last week, our family went to the Big Fresno Fair. We figured- we go to Edmonton's Capital Ex every year, so isn't one fair a year enough? Aren't fairs pretty similar? We decided to try it out. I don't know what we were expecting, but we did end up enjoying ourselves. Well, except for the last hour in which our kids started having meltdowns. We waited over 20 minutes in line for Grace to use the bathroom. We definitely didn't care for how everything was "packed-in." It was hard to get around! It definitely didn't help that it was so packed, so if we go next year, we'll have to try a weeknight. What did we enjoy? Well, there was this building that housed tons of farm animals. Grace got to get right up to a cow! That was pretty funny! We also let her go on several rides. She is definitely a thrill-seeker. The only thing Jeremy got to do was go on the carousel with Jason. He didn't show whether he liked it or not. He just sat and looked around. Everyone always talks about Fair food- we didn't try anything like deep-fried spam, but I definitely took Jill's advice and had some cinnamon rolls!The best part?! Spending time with my family... We've been so busy that spending quality time together has been hard to come by. Thankfully, things should starting slowing down a bit with the end of our volleyball seasons.Jason's volleyball season is completely done, and mine is almost over. He ended with a record of 7-5. My team lost earlier this week, and won our last regular season game today. I'm bummed that we have a record of 3-3. Believe it or not, we're tied in our division for 4th place. Depending on the other team and how they did today, that will determine whether or not my team moves on to the playoffs. We'd have to play against Herndon-Barstow, my old school next Saturday. I'm dreading it... I am not looking forward to getting our butts kicked in front of tons and tons of people! (Herndon-Barstow has an incredible team this year- no losses!)
