The $31 dog

Brian took Jacob to the fair tonight. It's Jacob's first trip to the fair. And it turns out that prices have risen quite a bit since Brian and I were at the fair. Remember how you could just buy a strip of tickets for the rides?

Here's what they spent tonight:
Parking: free
Gate price for Brian: $5.00
Gate price for Jacob: $3.50
Ride arm band: $12.50
Basketball game (where he won the dog): $5.00
Carnival game (ball in the milk jug): $5.00
Total: $31.00

What do we have to show for it?

Of course, Jacob said he had fun.
As Brian and I are sitting here cringing over the cost, we are trying really, really hard to focus on that fact!
