I grew up right here in Columbus Ohio, so the Ohio State Fair was a huge part of my childhood. It has been a few years since we have gone as a family, it can be really expensive and there were a few years when I thought that the just wasn't what it used to be. Well it was wonderful this year...clean, great rides, great food. We had fantastic fair food this year; Italian sausage, fried green tomatoes and veggies, Blaise had a huge turkey leg, funnel cake, and Matt's favorite frozen chocolate covered cheesecake(gross.) The kids favorite part was riding lots and lots of rides, Aidan rode everything that she was tall enough for, which is a huge departure from the past.
As you can see after those last two rides....Blaise needed a little break, we thought that we were gonna lose him! He wasn't the only one though there were people puking all over the place...haha!
So we took a break to eat and to look through all the made-for-tv stuff the marketplaces around the fair!
My favorite time at the fair is at dusk...just when it is cooler, the lights are glowing, things just seem magical! When the kids were on the merry-go-round that I told Matt that these are the moments that they will remember forever!
We finished up the fair with a ride all-together on the giant ferris wheel!
Oh, looks like you had so much fun! I have always loved the fair but I haven't been in a long time. That kids look adorable as always and that last picture is so neat!
