The Lane County Fair took place this past weekend, and the fairgrounds are conveniently located less than a ten minute walk from our house, so we went every day. Nora’s favorite part was definitely seeing all the different animals in the barns, but Jonah mostly loved looking at all the rides (and the daredevil flip-in-the-air motorcycle riders). The first day we went, he carefully checked out all his options and decided that his ride of the day should be the race cars. It was his very first amusement park-type ride. So off he drove…

He took his driving VERY seriously.

The next day, we chose a food treat – Jonah’s first funnel cake (and possibly his first seriously deep fried food). He was definitely a fan!

After we finished it, I showed him how to lick the extra sugar off the plate. He thought this was pretty hilarious.

The next day, Jonah chose another ride – the boats. He cruised under a few tepees and enjoyed it quite a bit.

We also stopped in the bingo tent for a minute, played one game, and walked out $12 richer, which was great because it pretty much covered the cost of rides and a funnel cake. :)

And while I circled numbers, Jonah used his crayon to draw a truck on the table. Of course.

Here’s another truck he drew recently – “a backhoe shoveling up dirt with its scoop in the back!”
