Fair Days

So the boys and I headed to the Union County Fair last week. After visiting all the animals-- despite Luke's protest of the horrible smells and Will's exclamation that the pigs had big ears just like him-- we ended up at the putt-putt course. For $1, the boys could play 9 holes and a hole-in-one at the final hole gave you a coupon for a free game.

Will got a hole-in-one on the last hole and earned a coupon! He was so proud and kept saying it was awesome and he was awesome...he was clearly over the moon about it.

The first ticket Will won

Then we walked around the fair and the boys checked out the Fun House...

After that, they decided to return to Putt-Putt instead of riding anything. This is when the drama began. Will was sure he was going to win again and when he didn't get a hole-in-one on the final hole, he was crushed. He literally threw himself on the ground sobbing :( He was also upset at me for cashing in his coupon--he wanted to take it home and show his Daddy.

So we walked around a little bit, met up with the Bix's and then tackled the putt-putt course one last time. This time Will got a hole-in-one and earned yet another ticket! He was again thrilled and threatened to beat me up if I cashed in his coupon. I didn't. He took it home, showed it to Jon, and even took it to bed with him. I wish I had taken a picture of him sleeping with his 'golden ticket' next to him. Will's stubborn resolve and competitiveness is something to behold.

Will's second ticket...the one he took home and took to bed with him :)
