Topsfield Fair 2012, a set on Flickr.
Another year another fair. When we moved to our town six years ago we were lucky enough to live close to Topsfield. We get to enjoy the fair right in our back yard. I wish I had a picture from the first time we went. Maddie would have been nine years old, Ellie seven and Liam five!!! That first year we stayed in the little kids section the whole time. This year it took all that I could to get them to look at the displays before we were running to the midway to hang out with their friends. My favorite part of the fair is the animals and the flowers. We spent our midway with friends of Liam's and it was nice to have someone else to watch out for the kids and someone to talk to while they hit the rides. We get wristbands which makes it easy to just let them keep going on whatever they want. It pays for itself after the first two rides.
Every year makes me sadder that they are growing up and away from me. The apron strings seem to be pulling more and more. I miss my littles! I am proud of the young people they are becoming.
