County Fair

We knew that the DuPage County Fair has a demolition derby every summer, but we never went before because it conflicted with naps.

Now that Gavin is long done with napping, we decided to go this year.  We figured he would LOVE to see cars crashing.

When we first arrived, he and Francis rode on the merry-go-round:

Then we got to the derby track.  Gavin surveyed the scene:

And this is the position he quickly adopted!

When the cars started revving their engines, he covered his ears and said he wanted to leave. I tried to tell him we weren't leaving until we saw some crashes, but he was in tears before they even got started.

I took him out of the track area and we waited for Francis and Nana and Grandpa.  He didn't want to do anything else at the fair - once he heard all that noise, he was done.
