Our Scottsbluff County Fair is never going to be like Frontier Days in Cheyenne, but this year they promised us it would be bigger and better than any other fair in the
entire history of our tiny county on the forgotten western side of one of the most often forgotten states! Wowzers! They even claimed that the carnival they had gotten was used in a
real Hollywood movie. Now I wasn't expecting Disneyland or anything, but I have to admit that they really shouldn't have hyped it quite as much as they did. On the "bright side"...

| The kids did get to spend 5 seconds in the aptly named "Hall of Mirrors"... |

| The kids did get to spend $1 each to ride a slide once... |

| Livi and I did get to spend about 10 minutes going around and around and around on a train I thought would never stop as we went by a mural that I'm sure was not a copyright infringement of the Jungle Book... |

| A true bright side for the 2 older kids was the dragon ride. I'm not sure you can tell but they would fly off the seat by about 6 inches every time the boat came down. Not a real fun thing to watch as a mother, but super fun if you are a kid! |

As you know, the A.V. Fair is always big and well attended, but we always skip it because it is too darn hot here in August. I don't enjoy an evening out when it is 100 degrees in the shade. Looks like Ethan and Ella are having fun on that dragon ride.
