National Peanut Festival – 2014

One of my favorite things about coming back to Alabama after 2 years away is comparing all the things we do now to photos from a few years back. I’m sure I’d do the same thing even if we never would have left…but either way it’s fun to see how big kids are. Like Layla. Look how itty bitty she was here in 2008 and again here in 2009 (I was knocked up and couldn’t ride anything. Boo)

And now here we are again 5 years later….really?? That seems like so long.

First stop, baby swings. Timmy wanted to do ALL THE RIDES. This was a good start. But it wasn’t good enough for him.

oh my gosh people. I dont like people.

Then he saw something…so we waited in line. And ended up running to get him a wrist band when we realized how many tickets we were spending. 

THIS is more like it. Big swings. T went up with him while L and I stayed on the ground panicking. 

This ride. Love it. Reminds me of middle school fairs and going on it over and over and over. Layla was a bit freaked (because she hates 99% of rides) but I talked her into it. Once we were off thats all she talked about. She cant wait to go on it again next time. 

It got cold fast. After almost running out of tickets we decided to stuff our faces. I didn’t get the fried oreos…but I did get a corn dog the size of my head. It was good. So covered in grease. Then we went on the big ferris wheel with our last tickets.  After a walk through of the building with all the photography and other displays we were out of there. Goodbye Peanut Festival! We’ll see you next year!
