Westbrook Fair Fun!


Yesterday we went down to Riverbank Park, here in Westbrook, for Westbrook Together Days. This is our annual city fair. It is a pretty small event, nothing compaired to a state fair. There are no farm animals or serious fair rides, but it does have some children's rides, food vendors and local performers.

We were not there very long. We don't stay anywhere very long these days if we have all three kids in tow. But we walked around for about an hour. On our walk down to the park, we passed a couple with two young children who gave us 10 ride tickets on their way out. As a result, Eli went on his first fair ride. This is the first time we went to any sort of fair/carnival that he has been old enough and tall enough to go on even the smallest kiddie rides. On our way into the park he saw this small red train chugging around in a small circle. Immediately he started asking to go on that ride. So that small train became his first fair ride! Of course, we forgot to bring the camera, so the only pictures we have are the ones that were taken from Jesse's phone. So the pics are not great, but at least there are a few!

He also went on the Ferris Wheel with Jesse, but there are no pics of that because I was off getting food while they went on the ride. And, he went down the big bouncy slide twice - even though both trips down he held onto the side for his dear life!  My first baby really has become a little boy. Maybe a trip to Santa's Village will have to be in the plans for a summer adventure.









Puppy also enjoyed the slide (Puppy goes everywhere Eli goes).
