Rides, rides and more rides....

A few weeks ago we took Parker to the Williamson County Fair (which has become a little tradition for us). It is so great that he seems to enjoy it more and more each year! Thank goodness we were smart enough to get him the unlimited rides pass, since we remembered from last year that it can add up pretty fast paying for them one at a time. It's a good thing we did because Parker kept wanting to ride the same rides over, and over and over! They also have this cute little "pretend farm" where he got to be a farmer for a day, and he really enjoyed that! It was a fun night!

We were glad that Parker enjoyed the rides at the fair so much, because just a couple of weeks later we had a trip planned to go to Holiday World in Santa Claus, IN. I have some friends that have been and we had heard such great things about it. So, we decided it would be a fun end of summer weekend trip to take! My parents went with us, and we had a GREAT time! The amusment park had a TON of stuff for kids around Parker's age to do. We had a jam packed full day there and Parker had a blast!

Below are some pictures from both of the events!

The fam on the farm



The BIG stuffed animal daddy won for Parker at the fair. We ended up giving it back to them and trading it for something a little smaller. I mean really, who needs something that big?? Plus- Parker wouldn't go close to it!


His favorite ride at the fair....


NOT his favorite ride at the fair...he did not like this roller coaster :)


He did love going down the big slide!

FREE unlimited soft drinks (and lots of gatorade and lemonade for Parker)


And- one of the best parts of the day for Parker- He got to meet Santa! He was one happy little boy. When Santa asked him what he wanted for Christmas he said "lots and lots of presents." That should be pretty easy :)
