Bolton Fair 2012

This year we all went to the Bolton Fair (instead of me taking the boys on Friday). It was _hot_. Borderline miserable, really, but we made the best of it and drank lots of lemonade :) We saw a lumberjack show, a dog agility show, went on carnival rides, squirted a real fire hose, saw prize winning farm animals and then, the big finish: the Monster Truck Show. I would love to say that the big finish was awesome, but sadly, it was a big flop. Erik and the boys scored some bleacher seats up high while I got some snacks. Unfortunately, the seats ended up not working out because 1) we were facing a setting sun and it was right in our eyes and 2) people filled in the ground in front of us and since they were standing, they blocked the boys' view even though we were up a bit and 3) the trucks were LOUD. Even outside they were deafening. After a really long, hot, adventurous day it was all too much for the boys to handle and we left after about 10 minutes. Oh well! Live and learn.
