The Fair(Kathryn)

We went to the fair 2 days ago(May 4th)which we saw being set up on our "beach" trip.  We have seen sand, though, and hope to make a couple beach trips before we leave.

At first, when we got there, which was about 6:45, the fair looked a little "rinky dink" as Dad said. We went over to where we thought most of the fair was going on.  Half the rides were "crazy" as Mom would say.  One ride was about 50 feet in the air and on the top and bottom were  seats.  The ride went round and round, not like a carousel, but like a wheel.  OK, get this.  So, you're 50 feet in the air, you're facing the ground, and all of a sudden, you go flying toward the ground at full speed.  Who wants to go on that ride?  That's an example of a "crazy" ride.

We kept turning the corners and there was always more games and rides!  Dad said Liam and Marianna get 10 euros to spend, and Josiah and I get 12.  That may seem like a lot, but the rides are 3 euros.  We had done like the fun house and then, all of a sudden, it was 9:00.  We ate supper at a festival next to the fair, with Spanish dancing.  We actually ate kind of early for Spain; 9:15.  We got a meal that was for 2 people, and it fed all 6 of us.  I did a fun house and bumper cars.  I played 2 games and had $3.50 left when it was time to go home, so Dad "banked it".  Here's some pictures and videos:



This is the fun house.   All rides or fun houses are 3 euros.  The four of us children did it.  It was fun, bigger than the fun house in the Murray fair.




 Marianna and Liam did a car ride, grooving around the "city".They chose a police car of the many choices, with Liam in the front and
Marianna in the back.




Marianna went on a "train" ride, getting sprayed by soap bubbles and water every time she went in the tunnel.  She also got a free balloon.
