Randolph Fair 2013


Every year we hit the Randolph Fair.  We usually do one day (at least) as a family, where the kids can ride the rides, look at the animals and eat yummy food!  As tradition dictates, the girls always go to the Demolition Derby with Paul.  We managed to fit it all in again this year and I managed to eat my weight in fries, fudge and porktatoes.  Being pregnant does have its upsides.

If you've never had the porktato, well you just haven't lived life.  Imagine a baked potato, cheese, bacon, butter and sour cream, all loaded with pulled pork. Yum.  Now I want one and so do you. You're welcome.

Randolph Fair: Daddy-Daughter Derby Day

Its time for the fair! Its that fun time when we all get to shove our faces full of greasy, fatty food, pet some dirty animals, and stare at Portage County's finest residents. 


For the past several years, Kristy and I would go to the fair on the first night with a group of friends and watch the demolition derby.  But with the addition of more kids to our family, the tradition has changed a bit. Last year, it was just Morgan and me who went to the demo derby. It was a hit, so I thought it would be fun that Mo, Ry, and I went while Kristy and T stayed home.


Morgan and Rylee each picked out their favorite car. Morgan, of course, picked the pink car, which ended up winning. Not quite sure what car Rylee picked, because she cheered for any crash she saw.



Morgan loved it as she did last year, however, Rylee had a serious case of A.D.D. and didn't pay attention. Instead, she kicked both bottles of water and her shoes underneath the bleachers, insisted on sitting in my lap, and occasionally gave the teenage girl in front of her a nice kick to the kidneys.



I did get them ice cream (for a buck!) during one of the many breaks.


This was pretty cool. One of the trucks drove on top of another truck and flipped on it's side. This was all Morgan talked about the rest of the night was how the "big truck" flipped over.



On Friday, I was out of work a bit early so we took the girls to the fair before Kristy and I left for Put-in-Bay. The picture above is us on the extremely old and shaky Ferris wheel, which I will never ride again.



This year, Rylee was able to get on some of the big kid rides, so they took full advantage of their wrist bands to ride the dragon ride over and over again.
