This year at the fair

One thing I love to do each year is go to the Waukesha County Fair. Their dollar days make it really affordable to take our entire family out for an day of fun without going broke. Last month we had a chance to visit the fair once again. We got stuck in traffic because we had got a late start. We usually get to the fair around three but this year we didn’t leave the house until almost five. By the time we made it to the street where the fair is the line of cars was super long from both directions. My air conditioning is broke and it was at least 90 degrees that day. I did get a chance to see the really cool motorcycle like bike. It had four wheels. It was a pretty cool thing to see. It was a older woman riding it and she had it all shined up. She had such a big smile on her face and looked so care free, I told my kids I wanted one! Of course they just looked at me like I was crazy, lol.

The regular parking was all full by the time we inched our way through the line. For the first time ever we had to park on the grass. There were a lot of cars their but the staff did a great job of organizing it all.

It the long run it was not that bad. It seemed like we did not have “that” far to walk. The kids were able to spot a horse right away.

We always stop and look at the animals before we do anything else.

And then they saw this


They were pretty cute!

TJ was the only that actually wanted to hold one but Kayla was right by his side in line.

TJ and Kayla were made deputies. TJ even got to get inside a police car and turn on the lights

The ticket price went up from $1 to $1.25 but I wasn’t surprised. It was still a good deal. The kids had a good time and that is what really mattered.

I even managed to snap a couple pictures of Jazz and Nannah :)

    Sounds like a great day was had by all. I wish our county fair did dollar days, it’s become way too expensive for us to go the past few years, it costs almost as much as a day at an amusement park.

      Dollar Days really make a difference. It is the only time we can afford to even try the food at the fair.

  6. I love state fair time. Our start fair was moved from the fall to the spring since we keep getting hit by hurricanes right before it canceling it.
