A Family Tradition

Tyson and I were both scratching our heads wondering why now 3 years in a row we have ended up at the County Fair.We never plan to go, it has never made it on our calendar, we don't talk about it, anticipates its arrival & we never even invite friends to join us because it has always been so last minute and a spontaneous thing. But even so, every year we always end up going & having a great time!

We brought some money so Lydia could ride a ride. We chose the roller coaster. We watched  with anticipation and knowing very well she would have to go alone and around the track about 12 times. I got in position to take a good picture and Tyson was supposed to help her get in and buckled up....but he didn't do his job, Lydia took off, climbed on in and was ready to go....all my herself!

We both stood there watching our baby girl, about to turn three....growing up right in front of our eyes.....riding her very first roller coaster.

It took a good three times around the track for her face to a show any sign of enjoyment, but she eventually did and when we asked her just for the sake of knowing, if she would do it again she said , "Yes!"

Fun to realize that we now have a new family tradition that we didn't even plan on starting in the first place.
