What is it about kids and the fair? I remember being a kid and wanting to go to the azalea festival. Didn't matter if it cost our parents $100 for 10 mins- we thought we had to go.
Now I am experencing that joy with my own kids. Gracie is not quite old enough to try and persuade me- but when the fair comes to town- the older two are all about going and spending tons of cash for their 10 mins.
I guess that's part of it though. It was hot and humid and their faces showed it. But they didn't care. They went from one ride to the other- and had a blast. Don't you wish that you had their energy and enthusiasm for life? Sometimes I wish that I could invent a machine that would give you a childs energy but still have the experience that you have gained thru your life. That would be amazing. GENIUS!!
The smile on their faces is why it's ok to dish out that amount of money. The practical side of me says, "That's ridiculous. Who spends money on junk like this?" Then I see their grins and just go with it. Who needs a house, car, or food? Just go dump all of your money into a carnival. Ok, enough of being sinical- It was a blast.
