Fun at the Illinois State Fair


Shaling took in her first state fair parade last Thursday night. Here she is modeling her new Statue of Liberty hat:


She & Ally & Preston (& Anya, not pictured) got quite sugared up on all of the treats they collected from the parade.


Ally (who is eating a Smartie), Shaling, & Anya all enjoyed the Statue of Liberty hats.


Shaling & Preston have "megapasses" -- we buy these at Christmas time, when they're cheaper, and count them as part of the kids' Christmas gifts. The megapasses allow them to ride rides at the fair all day long, any day. So, to get the most out of them, we took them to the fair on Friday and Dad took them both Saturday & Sunday.

Here are some videos of a couple of the rides Shaling likes:

  1. What a great idea...megapasses! We took Tessa to our state fair last year after returning from China. She loved it! Too bad it is over three hours away from us :(
