Even though Jared was out of town and I was sick with strep throat the kids and I were able to make it to Bluffton Street Fair on Saturday night! I wasn't sure if it was going to happen, but when I bailed on the zoo I just had to make it up to them! LOL!
Anyway, we set out on our chilly adventure Saturday evening and met up with Zach & Erin and the kids and Bruce & Jaimi and their kids. We had a lot of fun. While we were waiting on the others to arrive we played the "mouse game". Mia was adamant that she would win a puppy. As the game progressed and we continued to hand over our money Mia started to get a little testy. She told me to just tell the lady that she wanted a puppy. SHE WANTED A PUPPY! No matter how many times I told her that it didn't work that way she actually had to win she was sure if I just told the lady , she could have one. She even told me to get the lady so she could tell her what she wanted!! We were down to one more quarter before we were going to move on for a while and lo and behold she was a winner!!!! She finally got her puppy!!!

Next we moved on to the goldfish game. So we got our first bucket of balls and we got nothing. Of course we had to try again it can't be that hard, right?! Maybe I should do it...never a good idea! Well, just as we were about to leave and we had thrown our last ball the game master told me we were a winner! (Personally, I think he was trying to unload some goldfish since it was the last night.) So, I guess Hunter was a winner too! And lucky us, we get to carry around a goldfish for the rest of our visit!

After we had our prizes we went on to try out some of the fair rides. We had a blast! The kids LOVED the rides! Hunter did his fake laugh and Mia was always plotting what she could do next! The three of us even rode a roller coaster together!! (It was fun for me so I have to think it was amazing for them!) I couldn't see their faces but they were laughing and screaming so I think it was a success!!! Mia was pretty upset when it was time to head home she was certain that we could go on ONE MORE ride, but I told her we just didn't have any more tickets. So we had a little crying but that's ok it was late and time for bed anyway!!!
