County Fair

So for Labor Day weekend we stayed here in good old Flagstaff for the wonderful 3 day weekend. I really didn't mind staying because we have been traveling so much over the last few weekends, I was so happy to stay home and clean my house.

We decided on Saturday though that we didn't want to stay home all day and all night so we went to the Coconino County Fair!! We only took 20 dollars though and said that was all we were going to spend, and we did. When we first got there, we walked by a tent that had a polka band playing there and so of course, Nate had to stay and listen to at least 2 songs and then they took a break and then of course, he had to talk to them about it, since there was a tuba player in the band. He got so excited and the guy he was even talking to told Nate all the groups that he could join next year and that they could give him a spot. Nate was very excited.

Next at the fair was the games. We decided to play games before the rides which was a bad mistake because the games got so addicting that we didn't have money left over for the rides. That's ok though. We decided to play the game where you shoot the water at a target out of a gun and then the monkey climbs to the top and whoever gets there first is the winner. We played that like 3 or 4 times and didn't win anything. It was sad. But then Nate decided he wanted to pay to throw balls at plates and try to break them and he broke one plate so he won a little orange whale and then let me have it. He is so sweet.

After we were all done playing the games. We had a few dollars left. Not enough for rides, but enough for a treat. So we went to Dairy Queen on the way home and got us some Blizzards. We had alot of fun and were so glad to be able to go on a real date together and to spend the whole weekend together.
