The daring girl on the .. kiddie rides

Delaney has always been brave. She is rarely scared of anything. Right now, I can't think of anything off the top of my head that she's "afraid" of. She points out spiders and bugs to us and she's loves to jump off anything she can climb.
We went to Lakefair on Saturday and it is the big fair and parade that Olympia celebrate in the summer. We have always sat at the spot that Joyce and Jerry have sat at for years and we put our lawn chairs down a few days early to be sure we get a good spot.

Delaney and Dash had a great time watching the parade go by. Delaney was a little bothered by the loud sounds of the motorcycles going by and she kept her ears covered for most of their run. She enjoyed the marching bands though. Dash sat with Grandma Joyce for a while and he even managed to catch a quick nap.














Dash got to try Oreo cookies for the first time at the parade. He was covered!

So after the parade, we said goodbye to everyone and went into the fair to give Delaney a chance to do the rides.
The first one she tried was a motorcycle ride that went around and around. I think that at first she was a little unsure. But once it started moving, she was ALL about it. We ended up riding that once twice.







Then she rode the little boats and she really loved that. She loved that she could put her hands in the water while the boat cruised around the track.

The last ride she rode was the fire engine that went around and stopped at the top for the view. I don't have any pictures of that because she asked Papa "by myself?" and I was too nervous for her to get pictures.
Of course all my worrying was for nothing. She loved it. I do have a picture of her getting off of the ride.
We played a duck picking game and the ball rolling game where you race the horses and we bought some cotton candy before we left. Delaney won a stuffed banana and a pink elephant, so she was quite the happy camper on the way home.

I didn't forget about Dash, but he was too little for any rides and he spent the evening in his backpack on either me or Zap. He was one tired boy when we got home.
Next year Lakefair, we will have two little ones riding the rides. Papa will be cheering them on and Mama will be biting her nails watching them.
