The Bledsoe Bulletin

We learned from our mistakes last year. One mistake was paying out the NOSE for two evenings at the Fair for kiddie rides. This year, we bought Trey an unlimited pass for rides.



Another mistake we learned, making sure Trey stood up nice and tall for the carni-workers. He was standing with his heels a few inches in front of the measuring stick and leaning back on the ruler. This year, I made sure his heels were right up against the ruler to show he truly IS 42". Trey was kicked off of 2 rides before realizing the way Trey was standing was making him shorter.


(hoping the carni-workers wont kick him off of THIS ride!)



Thumbs up Daddy!
Looks like Trey is having the time of his life. The lady behind him: NOT having the time of her life!

Towards the end of the evening, we could tell Trey was getting a bit tired. He wasn't acting as enthused about the rides, although he was begging for more.


(starting to wear down just a tad!)

I thought these two pictures of Trey was a great expression of just how drastic Trey's attitude and enthusiasm changed from the beginning of the evening, to the end. Mind you, Trey, Justin and Tian had gone to the Fair while I was at Activity Days swimming (more on that to come!). Trey had ridden rides all day long!

(All smiles, can't wait to aboard another ride)

AFTER

(so exhausted, can't even smile!)

Like the Jersey? It was bought at the Fair. Something Trey has wanted, year after year, seeing the little shop at the Fair. Finally, this year we broke down and purchased one. He wore it WITH the tags on prior to us finding someone to snip the tags off. Trey and Tian WERE in matching muscle shirts(the green one Tian is wearing in these Fair pictures), oh so cute, but Trey broke out on his own and donned the Blue and Orange.
