Illinois State Fair

We made two trips to the Illinois State Fair way back in August.

On our first visit this year, the focus was rides and fair food.  The boys made good use of their mega passes.



The big boys were good sports and rode some of Kieran's rides with him.

Cole is in the middle bumper car.

Caden, Curt, and Cole on their favorite ride, Avalanche (if I'm remembering correctly)

Another ride wave from Kieran


Caden and Papa on the Sky Glide

Kieran, Nana, and me on the Sky Glide...Kieran wasn't so sure about being up that high.

The boys on one of Kieran's favorites

Kieran loved going through the funhouses with his big brothers.

Caden 


Cole and Caden coming down the small slide...We went down the giant slide too, but didn't get any good photos of that (MY favorite!). 

On our second visit of the year, we spent most of our time in Conservation World, but we saved some time for rides and fair food (of course).

Kieran really did not want to share this kettle corn. 
The big boys tried rock climbing...
Cole

Caden
 and archery...

This photo was taken either right before Cole fell forward and knocked down this display or right after.  I've blocked it from my memory. 

and target shooting...
It is not easy to aim at a target using a red light when one is red-green colorblind.

More rides before bidding farewell to the State Fair




We'll be back again next August!
