The County Fair

We had our first trip trip to the Loudoun county fair. It was a blast. A little scary at times, but a lot of fun too. Although we consider ourselves the suburbs of DC, the rest of our county is kind of in the sticks!

Ethan and a cool turtle.


There were a lot of tractors there...they loved the John Deere of course!

Drew and Mommy


Um, yeah, the first scare of the day. We thought this ride just went round and round, so we let Drew ride all by himself! Once he was on there we all discovered that it went QUITE high for a little 2 year old! He was so proud of himself while I almost had my first heart attack of the day. Yeah, that's him up in the air. Alone. All by himself. High. In. The. Air.


Second scare of the day. Somehow for some unknown reason, I decided to go on the "Swing" ride with Ethan. Initially, we were both really really excited. I forgot that the last time I rode it I was nauseous for a week.


Strapping in. Great. We're so excited.

Ethan is screaming with glee. I'm trying to decide if it is less likely that I will throw-up if I close my eyes, stare at the elderly (very elderly) ride operator, or at the rusting chains of the ride.


Right now, Ethan is screaming "Isn't this super fun Mommy" I cannot look at him because if I moved my head I might throw up. I'm thinking...."Get me off, get me off, get me off..RIGHT NOW!!!!!"

I'm so not as cool as I used to be (or thought I was!)

Just a little messy around here...

This all occured in one afternoon at the Coronel household. Nothing really new, just that I documented it!

This shirt actually says it all!
Little Drew
Ethan was part of it too!

Moving on to making brownies. Outfit 2 of the afternoon (nevermind the morning).


Serious about getting every lick possible!


Hard work.

Mom, leave me alone, I'm trying to eat!

This is why we had to implement a "no snacks in the car" rule :-)
