Last night we went to the Monster Truck Show at the Spring Fair.
We had a fun time despite the light rain that fell for most of the evening.
Isabel liked this one because it was purple.
There were 10 trucks in all.
She told us that she had hoped there would have been a truck that was purple with yellow flames on it. It’s purple and yellow just doesn’t have flames!
We later learned that one of the trucks was driven by a 16 year old girl! She did a good job but the truck she was driving was having issues so she was out early in the show.
The last time we went to the Spring Fair, Isabel was 3 and couldn’t ride on any of the rides. So this time, if she wanted, we’d let her ride something. The first ride she wanted to go on was the Ferris wheel. I think she was a bit nervous at first but got more comfortable as we went around. I think we ended up going around 5 or 6 times.

You can also see the other monster trucks.
Not to many people down there yet. As it got closer to the show more and more people began to show up.
At the top of the Ferris wheel.
After the Ferris wheel we walked around and found some rides more her size. Lots of them in fact but we couldn’t go on all of them. She picked a roller coaster, air plane ride, fun house and then played one game with the leftover tickets!
First roller coaster ride – little coaster just for kids!
She was very nervous for this – see her grip the sides of the car!
She went around on the coaster for about 3 or 4 times before it ended.
She really enjoyed it!
After her tickets were gone we decided to get some food and see some exhibits inside.
We saw F.F.A. exhibits and then small farm animals; geese, ducks, chickens, chicks, a turkey, bunnies, llamas, pheasants, goats, and miniature donkeys and
The first time she patted this sheep it, it baa’d, Isabel’s eyes got so BIG, she must of startled it!
This petting pen and a few goats, 2 sheep, and 1 chicken.
The Monster Truck show was great. It was the first time for Isabel and the first time that Gino and I have seen a show on asphalt. Isabel enjoyed the show but didn’t care for the fireworks afterward. By the time we got home it was almost 11 p.m. and she was to tired, she went to bed within minutes!
