State Fair!

A couple weeks ago I took a much needed day off from work and went with the family to the fair. The reason we chose a Friday was because it was dollar day! One dollar rides, games and food... but mostly it was for the FOOD!!


 And just when we thought the fair was gonna be just like any other year... we stumbled accross this... the HOT DOG PIG RACES!!
 It was hilarious!!
 Erin especially like the weenie dogs!
 We liked this SOOOO much that when the rest of the family got there later we made sure they got to have this experience too!!! Jadon and Krislin got to volunteer. That's Jadon in the orange shirt being a cheerleader!
 See how excited they were to volunteer!! An experience they'll remember forever!!

 We watched the stunt people...
 We WATCHED some of the rides...
 Then Jaron, Jadon and Krislin actually rode this thing!!
 Family tradition... this is what I used to let my kids ride when they were little!
 A fair isn't a fair without seeing the animals... the animals REALLY like Jaron!!


 Mike' favorite!
 We ate a LOT of food. Every food vendor had something for a dollar so we got to try LOTS of stuff. I didn't take any food pictures except for this one... chocolate covered meal worms (YUK... there was no WAY I was gonna eat a bug... I could stay home and do that!!) So WHO ate these delicacies?!?!?
 Erin & Jadon!!!! They REALLY ate them!!!!
 Mike & I snuck away for a little while and did old people stuff ... like ride the sky ride... I love that thing... it's slow and you can see everything!!

Then Mike and I did a wild and crazy thing... we paid our dollar to see the world's smallest horse, largest alligator and largest pig!!! I'm glad we didn't pay more than a dollar!! AND the biggest pigs at the fair were  really us after eating all the stuff we did!!!
Fun fun day... can't wait til next year!!!

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!
