We had a great day at the Tulsa Sate Fair last Friday. Matt has had a busy month at work, and after all the overtime he put in, he decided to take a day off when things slowed down. We took advantage of the extra day with him and spent it at the fair.
We had SUCH a great day. There were so many fun things for the boys to enjoy.
We spent most of the morning walking through the Expo center. We always stop and let the boys ride the play horses.
A police car, ambulance, and firetruck all in one building is a little boy's dream!
Matt commented that this better be the only time the boys are in the back of a police car :)
Elisabeth came along for the ride. She was so good all day at her first visit to the fair.
Both boys had a ball at the firetruck exhibit.
They also had a little play grocery store set up that the boys enjoyed.
After we finished touring the expo center, it was time for lunch. Samuel especially seemed to enjoy the fair food. Nathan got fixated on some cotton candy he wanted, and only ate about half of his cheese on a stick.
After a trip to the cotton candy booth after lunch, we did a quick tour of the livestock building. Samuel made all the animal sounds for the animals he saw. Nathan seemed a little bored. Samuel definitely enjoys animals more than Nathan.
Elisabeth was starting to get hungry, so we headed over to the kids' building, so the boys could play while I fed Elisabeth. We hadn't been in that building of the fair in several years, but it was awesome for our boys. They had a blast. We could have spent all day just in that building.
Samuel played in the giant sand box for a long time. We think he's going to love the beach next year!
They had a fun slide and ball pit that Nathan played in for awhile.
They also had an area of legos, and blocks that we skipped out on, but the boys loved the little "driving" area full of Little Tikes vehicles. I also made four trips to the bathroom with various children while we were in the building. It was a reminder of the season of life we're in right now :).
The boys were getting tired after we finished in the kids' building, but we had to get Matt's Nitro ice cream. We allow ourselves one lunch food and one treat at the fair each year, and he gets that same ice cream every single year.
He had some help eating it this year.
Since Matt had earned some extra overtime pay, we splurged a little and let Nathan ride a few rides. We bought enough tickets for Samuel to ride too, but after we had our tickets, we realized he was too short to ride anything, so Nathan got to ride some extra rides.
He said riding the train was his favorite part of the fair.
While Nathan rode rides, Samuel and I went to get one last treat for the day.
I told you he was a fan of fair food!
We saved a few bites for Nathan when he and Daddy caught back up with us after the rides.
I caught a picture of Super Daddy transporting all three kids.
It was way past nap time and the boys were exhausted from their fun day.
We've been able to visit the fair every year we've lived here. It's a fun tradition and gets more fun every year!
