Our girls always look forward to the Skyride for an aerial view of the fairgrounds and the exciting commotion they expect to see. It's also a great way to wind down and prepare for ending our day. Somehow they have appetites for Martha's chocolate chip cookies. Conveniently nearby is the Republican Party booth with free water and balloons.
Our usual final stop is the Dairy Barn to check progress of the butter sculptures and to get ice cream sundaes. The lines are ridiculously long, but no one minds and good humor prevails. Outside we find shade under a tree, sit to eat our sundaes, and watch the parade scheduled for every afternoon.
Walking out the gate, we ask the worker to stamp our hands on the chance we might want to return to the fair this same day or night. Slight chance. Very slight chance.
