We met up with Aunt Sara, Macy, Lilah and Unky Ian at the Birmingham Fair, and despite an overcast day the weather held and we had a great night. Macy and Hannah rode all of the little kid rides, including a rollercoaster that they had to go on with some older girls in line behind us since they were too small to go alone. The older girls were very sweet and took great care of them. They also went on this frog hopper ride - picture a kiddie version of the Demon Drop - and Hannah was all smiles and giggles for the first half, and then cried the last. She is definitely not a daredevil! Poor Ella and Lilah were too short for most of the rides, but got to enjoy the super slide (again, big girls rode with some very nice strangers), spinning bears, train, and carousel. We also took a break to play on the playground, watch the fountain and have family sucker time.
We finished our night at the fair with the Hays. It has become an annual tradition for the girls to ride the carousel together, and this year Ella and Kendyl got to join in too. After riding a few rides, we headed to Salvatore Scaloppini for a busy (read as girls would not sit still), but nice evening. Unfortunately, the Pulis' couldn't join this year but for good reason. They had a baby BOY yesterday, Samuel, and were having some family time at the hospital. It's about time after six girls between us. Welcome baby Samuel, I hope you like to wear princess dresses so you can fit in with all of these ladies! I guess they could use a prince... he will be so in demand.
