A visit to the county fair [Part 1]

Ed. This post was supposed to appear on 8/1, but something didn't happen. My apologies, and more posts to come.

Saturday featured a fun trip to the county fair and some monster truck madness! (“Monster truck madness” must be said in a loud announcer voice)

The men of the family (plus Tori and minus the baby) headed over to the fair first for some healthy corn dogs. We all chowed down in the sweltering heat and then moseyed over to the rides. The kids enjoyed a few rides, followed by some dessert and then off to the show.
As you can imagine, the people watching was fascinating. Some stereotypes were confirmed and some were broken. Granted, everyone was suffering through 90 degree temperatures & high humidity. Wife beater shirts, unnecessary camo, trucker hats, jean shorts that didn’t fit, various tattoos, and even worse, country music. One of the more astonishing discoveries was that the ‘carnies’ (at least the ones that handled the kiddie rides) were better dressed than most of the fair goers. They were all adorned with maroon polos and khaki shorts. Slightly comforting as stud boy & I entered the spinning death trap.

Here are the kids enjoying the rides and more details on the MONSTER TRUCK SHOW to come.

Don’t be confused by her serious face. Both the kids had fun and when she got off the ride she said, “That was awesome!”
