After work John and I got ready for the fair- we were both exhausted but still excited :D I had also got a dog sitter (the last time we had left him alone for 3 hours he shredded his bed apart and this time we were going to be gone from 5:30-1- so I wanted him to have someone). John and I asked one of my RAs who has a dog similar to Carter and knows a lot about them. Plus I trust her a lot. I felt like such a mom! I told her everything there was to know about Carter and taking care of him! haha. I even checked up on him while we were gone. John just rolled his eyes at me. I have never had to ever ask anyone to babysit anything, so it was a weird feeling. lol. Traffic was awful to the fair, but the fair totally made up for it! We got unlimited ride bands for everyone. John and I never really got to ride a bunch of rides when we were younger so we were thrilled! First we did the Ferris wheel!!! YAY! the first time John and I ever rode the Ferris wheel, we were in high school. When we got to the top, we stopped and the fire works started going off! and that was the first time he asked me to marry him :D So the Ferris Wheel has a special place in my heart:D this time it was still light out, but it was still a lot of fun!

Next we went to bunch of fun houses- and being cheesy that we are got the Grease song stuck in our head while on one of them. We also went through a fun house that was all glass windows- it was confusing! haha. Then we rode a bunch of big scary rides. I got in line for the "inverter" without knowing what it was and then while in line realized that it goes upside down and holds you in the air that way. John made me ride it anyway. haha. then of course he wanted to go on the one ride I said I wouldnt go on! The whole things spins in a circle then you are sitting in a 4 person chair thing that also spins around. It was CRAZY! Of course I loved it :D but John owes me for that one! the scariest ride we went on! hard to get a picture because it was going so fast!
Then we did the Mega Drop, which was also awesome! After those rides Nate and Leigh Ellen showed up and we met up with them. We walked around a bit and checked out the place some. John and I rode another ride that was scary and awesome called fireball. It was great :D I love rides like that!!! I wish I could describe it better. Anyway, about that time it was time for food! John and I ended up getting a HUGE corn dog and a fresh lemonade to share. He LOVES lemonade from places like that (just like my daddy :D). We ended up sliding down the jumbo slide- in honor of mom, it's her favorite. haha. Then Nate and Leigh Ellen left because it was time to get the baby to bed. John and I walked around the park a bit more and checked out everything. It was a really fun time. FUN free date!! :D Carter was also great :D so YAY!
Fair fun!
The next morning we got up bright and early! 7:30 on a Saturday is TOO early! Nate and Leigh Ellen offered to watch Carter for us, so we got ready and took him over there. I know he will be fine being alone eventually, but I just didnt want to leave him alone for so long both times! Then we headed over to UV, where we all took the bus over to the place where we went Ocean Kayaking. It was 2 1/2 hour tour and ended up being about 3 miles worth of kayaking. John and I were tandem- thank goodness :D haha. It was really interesting though and beautiful to go in the morning. We got to hold star fish!!!!!!!! that was my favorite! they were EVERYWHERE! SO pretty!! We also got to see a lot of conch shells- 3 different types and they were all alive! On the trip there were also sting rays in the water and we got to see the only fossil reef in the US! It was a really nice trip, it was early but we were able to see a lot because the water was so calm. YAY for school trip! haha. We ended up sleeping a lot of the rest of the day. :D
The map of where we were kayaking. I didnt get any other pictures :(
