This day was such a fun day together. Camden is finally at the age where we can do something like this and just enjoy it. She can walk the entire time, not need constant vigilance (just occassional reminders to stay next to us), and participate in everything. It felt like we kinda turned a nice corner on this outing.
Most fun for her were the rides. The fair had set up a second midway on the opposite side of the grounds from the main midway for kid rides only. It was perfect! No battling to go on rides she couldn't, no overly priced game every few feet, and no teenagers.
Camden's first choice was the "fun house" type slide. She had to climb up rope ladders, slide down an inflatable slide, and cross plank bridges before going down the big tunnel slide.
One of my favorite summer options at Columbian Park was the big dipper. My memory makes it much bigger than this "Super Slide," but I still got such joy out of watching her go down.
I think she this was her first coaster ride!
She went around one time, then we showed her from the sidelines how to raise your hands. The rest of the time it was her constant position.
Her favorite ride was the "planes." Not sure of the exact name, but she laid on her stomach and the ride went round in circles while lifting them up to fly. It reminded me of the Giant Swing ride just laying down.
She also flew on the bees.
We all three rode the ferris wheel. Great views of the entire fair grounds...and even downtown Indy in the background.
