Helaman had a ton of fun at the fair this year. He was old enough and tall enough (well, not really, but we cheated) to go on all the little kids rides, and he loved it. His favorite was probably the slide, he wanted to go over and over. Lucky for him Grandpa and Daddy and Uncle Michael all like the slide too, so he had a lot of takers. When Mommy’s family was little they were all scared to death of the slide, but he loved the thrill.
At first Helaman only wanted to go on rides with a partner, so he and Greta did several. But eventually the carnies wouldn’t let Greta on any more. Luckily, by then he was hooked and didn’t mind going by himself. He would just smile and wave at us, and then cry for more when the rides were over.
He went on the Carousel with Grandma and she said he was more interested in how the ride worked than the ride itself, watching all the mechanisms the whole time. Which was partly true, but he really loved the horses, too.
The second day we went to the fair, Mommy made the mistake of telling him that we were going later. So, Helaman was too excited to take a nap and just layed in bed and talked to himself for an hour and a half instead. We thought he would be too tired to have fun that night, but he was loving it the whole time, even though he was SO tired.
