Ever since the commercials started playing for the Peanut Festival Layla has been begging to go back. We went last year and I guess she had so much fun that she HAD to go back this year. We ended up going last night and had a really good time.
The whole ride out to Dothan she asked every 3 minutes if we were almost there. 
FINALLY after driving forever we made it. Of course because we are nice parents we said “ok never mind, we’re going home” when the lane we took into the parking area pointed us away from the fair. She wasn’t happy with that.
Lets just say she was more than ready to go in once we actually parked 🙂
First stop…our admission tickets.
She CAN’T wait
And she was pretty excited about getting a special bracelet 😛
Finally we made it in 🙂
We passed by the Kiddieland area first and Layla decided to wait on those rides until the way out so she can see what else there was. She found her favorite thing…the fun houses! 
She totally ran into a one of the windows and I missed it taking this picture…
Darn it!
They made it to the top and spent some time looking in the mirrors…
And then it happened. Layla realized HOW she was supposed to get back DOWN to the bottom. And she wasn’t happy. Finally T just went down with her while she screamed 🙂
hehehe
On to the next, slide free, fun house
Ooo birds
The guy running it had to show Layla how to walk through. She thought she was going to get stuck and go around and around 😛
After they got out one of the game booths finally got Thomas to stop and play. Just a free ball. Just to try 😉 
And finally after a couple “free tries” we could have paid $5 to get any prize. And then carry it around all night. NO thanks 🙂
After escaping the games Layla found the race cars. She rode them last year and was SO scared when she got off. She remembered how fast they went but was determined to get on them again this year. And she picked the yellow car. AND she screamed when it took off and went around the corners.
Look at this face! I almost felt bad for her. 
It cracks me up every time I look at it 😛
She was scuuurrreed! But when it was all over she was SO proud that she went on it! And we were proud too 🙂
Then we were hounded by more game guys
Oh man this made me miss Swirl. Even if it was across the island and I only went there a few times. Yum yum yum!
Finally on the way out we stopped at the Layla sized rides to use up the rest of our tickets. ‘Dumbo’ was first.
She was having SO much fun!
We were too. It was a really good family day. 
With her last bunch of tickets she chose the bumper cars
Once she figured out how to make it go she was having fun
We also walked through the exibition hall and looked at the photography. Some of them were really amazing. And some I think I could do better. I will for sure look into entering some of my photos next year.
Finally on the way out we were lucky enough to catch some of the Star Family Circus! This was nuts. He was up on this circle that was swinging around and around
And then he got on top while it was swinging and tried to jumprope. He almost fell.
After his was miss Kelsey the hoola hoop girl
And the grand finale was the anouncer chick standing in a cage while 2 guys on motorcycles rode around her
Ta-da!
And that was it. We were cold and hungry and ready to meet friends for dinner. We had a blast and cant wait for next year.
great pics! Loves the ones of her in the yellow car!!
i had to laugh at the slide & yellow car, thats SO k, but after hes always like oh that wasnt so bad.
LOVE that ferris wheel pic
I love the Peanut Festival!
Looks like you guys had such a fun day. What is it with our kids and slides? Last year at the fair Cody ran into the window in the fun house as well…full sleed run too…he bounced straight backward. Loved the pics of her on the cars…such a sad face, but hillarious at the same time. We miss you all.
lol poor Layla, glad ya'll had fun! I love all the pictures.
