Matt has been working a lot lately, so we were all looking forward to last Friday when he had a day off scheduled, so we could spend the day at the Tulsa State Fair. Last year, he took a Friday off too, and we just had the best day together as a family. It felt like our first real family day as a family of five. We had such a great time last year, that I was SO looking forward to spending the whole day with my family, and we had a wonderful day!
Our kiddos were ready for a fun day!
Our first stop was the kids building, and our boys headed straight to the ball pit obstacle course.
Elisabeth was bummed she wasn't tall enough to play in the balls. She kept trying to sneak in.
The boys got balloon animals, but neither survived the day.
The kids' favorite part (besides the sand box, which we saved for later in the day) was the ride on toy area.
Nathan rode these motorcycles for a long time and said it was his favorite part of the whole day!
After the kids building, we headed to the Expo Center. We walked around looking at all the booths and exhibits.
The boys were most excited about the police car, ambulance, and firetruck exhibits.
When we hit the food court, we decided to stop for lunch. Elisabeth was getting grouchy, and we hoped some food would perk her up.
Nathan liked his cheese on a stick.
After lunch and a cotton candy treat, we headed to the rides. Samuel was big enough to ride them this year. We let them choose three rides. They rode the helicopters, alligator roller coaster, and ATV's
The Alligator Roller Coaster was probably their favorite ride.
Matt and I still needed our treat for the day, so I stopped for a Pineapple Whip. I hadn't had one before, and I was in the mood to try something new. It was delicious.
Matt got his traditional liquid nitrogen ice cream.
Everyone enjoyed helping him eat it.
Before we left for the day, we stopped back at the kids building to let the kids play in the giant sand box. Samuel went right for it. It felt like we were back in Florida!
Little Sis still isn't a fan of sand, so while the boys played, she carried around our balloons. She tried so hard to carry all three of them at the same time, but she spent most of the time, picking them up, accidentally dropping one, and trying again. It was cute watching her process.
Success!
We had a really great day. The weather was beautiful and the company was even better! Elisabeth was out before we got out of the parking lot, and we lost Samuel shortly after, but they really did awesome skipping their naps while we were playing. We are already looking forward to next year!
