Friday, Fair, Fun

Well... Friday morning I woke up not feeling well (NOT happy about that!) and I did NOT want to miss our trip to the fair... so I ran to the doc, got some meds, drug myself to work for a couple hours and then took off to the fair... truly believing that my miracle meds would kick in and I would not miss all the fun. Thank you medical technology... I not only made it, but I downed a goodly amount of fair food without any side effects! The STATE FAIR!!!
It was not very crowded and the weather was great! WOW... that's a mighty big Ferris Wheel in the background!

FIRST off... we just didn't pick this random day to go to the fair... we had a purpose... so we run to get in line...

... to see THIS guy... SPONGEBOB!

Some of the fam with Spongebob... what a moment!

So after that we were off to do our FAVORITE thing (besides getting a pic with Spongebob)and almost the MOST important thing at the fair....

EAT!!! Today the fair had GREAT deals from 12 - 6... we got in for half price and there was $1 food, games and rides....
so before we did anything else we had to eat...

AND eat... Erin got some corn fritters... those things are GOOD!

It's hard to see in this pic, but it's one of my favorite fair foods... funnelcake! We didn't keep track, but between us we ate fry bread, corndogs, chicken and rice, funnel cakes, deep fried veggies, fried oreos, turkey legs, cotton candy, corn fritters, corn on the cob, pizza, lemonade, snow cones, ice cream and kettle corn! AND most of that was the $1 deals. Some of the bizzarre things we did NOT try were the fried bugs and chocolate covered bacon... no way!

We had to walk off all that food so we kind of split up and some people did rides/games and some of us went to see animals!

The animals were pretty tame and let us pet them...


Awww.... hugging a hog!

I wanted to pose with an animal... hmmmm... me and a goat tail...
... but the llama was much more cooperative.

I hadn't been on a fair ride in a LONG time... and it was only a $1... so me Krislin and Erin decided to brave the HUGE ferris wheel. We told Krislin she could NOT rock our seat!
I really wanted to take pics from the top of the Ferris wheel...

woo hoo... an arial shot of the fair!

Well my meds kept me feeling good and got me through the day. Mike couldn't get off work to come, so I brought him home some fry bread, funnel cakes and kettle corn so he could have a little taste of the fair! I'm a little worn out and I'm actually dozing off while I'm trying to type... getting up at 4:30 has a little to do with that... but it's all good, cuz I had a great time! It's ALWAYS fun with fam and friends!

About Me

My photo
Hi there everyone! I've noticed that a lot of people have a little life story on their blogs. So, always wanting to keep up with the latest BLOG trends, I've decided to put on a little blurb about my life for anyone that's interested. BUT, so no one is bored or has heard it all, I've put MY LIFE in ORIGINAL story form... Once upon a time there was a brown eyed girl, born of goodly parents, who set out on a journey. She traveled for a very VERY long time, through desert, mountains and forests and along the way she brought with her 6 wonderful treasures. But, alas, there were dark times, battles and dragons along the way, but she kept on going, with her treasures giving her strength and direction. Then in the desert, she met a blue eyed handsome prince, who had also been on a long long journey, and he had 2 treasures. So as you might have already guessed the ending.... the brown eyed girl and the blue eyed prince along with their treasures and a bunch more treasures, lived very happily ever after! Life is GOOD! It's party time now!
