Part III: The Conclusion

The final phase of our vacation was a trip to the Ohio State Fair. Wm was like, "This is the fair for the whole state? We are so lucky to live this close!" Wm loves the fair!!

Wm's favorite thing to do is play the games. We told him he can't play any where the prize is alive this year (since his fish from last year are still alive...and now HUGE). This year they had hermit crabs and iguanas. NOPE. He managed to win 3 stuffed animals, though! The only ride Wm likes is the Big Slide, so, of course, he did that. But, basically, after he has played his budget in games and has eaten his fill of horrible fair foods, he's ready to hit it.

PIZZA!

Swirl cone! And stuffed animal win to the side.

Wm passed up elephant ears, funnel cakes, deep fried everything, cotton candy, saltwater taffy - and, instead, opted for a soft serve ice cream cone. That he didn't finish. He's clearly not related to me. Steve and I, obviously, did a much better job. We got deep fried buckeyes and took that business DOWN. 

We missed the pig races, which I was super bummed about. We did see ponies and camels being tortured with small children on their backs. Wm was horrified. He was like, "look at their eyes!" However, Wm has a strange disdain for pigs and is all, "pepperoni is good - I don't care about pigs." For some reason, this bothers me and I have been on a campaign to convince him that pigs are awesome. I don't even like pigs. But the fact that they are the lone animal Wm doesn't give a crap about irks me. Poor pigs. Nothing at the fair convinced him otherwise. He remains unmoved by the plight of our porcine brothers.

Sleepy boys ready to head home!

We are spending this weekend resting up after our non-restful vacation. Steve was all, "what do you want to do this weekend?" And was disappointed when I said, "rest." Steve does not know the meaning of the word and is working his butt off in the backyard chopping wood and other such manly pursuits. Meanwhile, I am watching Netflix and reading and Wm is quietly playing with Legos in his room. To his credit, he periodically goes outside and "helps" Steve with yard work (but then he "gets hot and tired" and has to come back in for a bit).

Back to work on Monday! Wm is actually looking forward to returning to Clubhouse - he misses his friends!
