It’s nearly that time again, and I can’t wait! For the past several years, the weather at the Georgia National Fair required shorts and tank tops. The sun beat down ruthlessly, and it was difficult to get into the spirit of fall with sweat trickling down your face. Kids quickly grew hot and tired, and parents chose to leave early rather than wait for the midway lights to shine in the night. This year, however, may be different! According to accuweather, the temperature may range from the low 70s to the low 80s—fairly perfect, I’d say. I’ve almost convinced the King that going to the fair will be a good idea this year. With Ladybug at 18 months, wide-eyed and curious, and Butterfly already a veteran of kiddie rides from our recent trip to Dollywood, they are at prime ages for a few enjoyable hours. We’ll pull them around in their wagon, pointing out the cows, horses, and pigs, letting them at least look at the rides, and buying them some cotton candy and funnel cake. We’ll enjoy looking at pumpkins, haystacks, and scarecrows, huge tractors, and various wares. We’ll let the girls climb all over the playground display and release their sugar energy. I’m sure it will be an evening to remember.
