MELVERN FAIR 2009

Fri Jun 26 2009

WOW, it was a HOT one. I had already told Marcia and Teresa we were coming down so I figured we could tough it out for at least a little bit. And as you all know, I am a big wimp. I hate the heat. By the time we walked from the car to meet everyone I was hot and tired and ready to call it a night. But Branden saw all the rides and we had to go check them out. We debated for awhile, to get the $25. unlimited ride wrist band or just a couple tickets. Finally we just got the band. It was well worth it, even though we didn't think he would be able to ride many rides.

His first stop was with Dallen to the airplanes. He loved them. Throughout the night he road them several times. Even a couple times in the back of the plane facing another kid and shooting at each other.
Next was the SUPER slide. He didn't want to go by himself so Wayne went with him the first time, THEN Branden decided it was fun and did it OVER and OVER and OVER again by himself. That is where the wrist band came in handy.


After the jump jump forever it was time for the carousel. Him and Wayne had a great ride.

And this was the ride he had been waiting for ALL night. The DRAGON roller coaster. He was the other one of the kids his age tall enough, even if it was cause of his fuzzy hair. And was found a big kid to ride with him. Thanks Emma.
After the long hot night of walking around sweating miserably the kids went back to mimi's for a swim. It was a skinny dipping party. No kiddy porn intended. Emma, Madison, Branden and later Aidan had a blast. Splashing around in that little pool.
I am glad we made it to Melvern even if it was hot and yucky out. I got to see some great friends and the kids all got to play and have fun. Next year it will be time for the baby Fair again for Teresa and I. Last time we were all in it was 2007 when the 3 boys were all babies. Hope the weather isn't what it is this year.

  1. Oh how I wish you had come Sat. SOOO much better. A nice breeze during the parade and eating. A light sprinkle came through as the kids finished the 3 rides they got to pick for the night. Home to Mimi's to watch a movie! Nice to see you and I guess maybe the next time will be with a baby in my arms!!
