Gotta Love The Fair

I had fun at the fair although the day went completely not as expected for various reasons but then I guess I should know better than to expect much in others. Fair itself was fun, the company a bit odd to say the least. I did some rides however many of the rides that were super cool when I was younger are not so much now. And all the new rides are absolutely crazy not to mention that my ass pretty much doesn't fit well into the seats which sort of takes away the fun. I will say though that the Tilt a whirl? Still hugely fun. I laughed like crazy during the whole ride. I loved it. I liked the roller coasters they had too but they didn't have any wild ones. Last year I had discovered that the wild ones that I used to love were a bit more unnerving than previously remembered. I must be getting old. The food was fair food. You can't go wrong with the corn dogs but much of the rest of it sort of isn't what you would expect. The deep fried sni*ckers was good but you couldn't eat the whole thing. I also found a place that sold cup cakes (I guess they have a cup cake store downtown Sac) and that was really good. I also saw a cute baby shirt that I almost bought as it was so funny. It was black with white writing that said "Potty like a rockstar" I also saw a whole lot of baby bumps and new babies and little toddlers etc. I found myself feeling so wistful watching the little kids and aching for what I want so badly. So a mostly good day.

Glad you had a good day at the fair! It's hard to see the baby bumps, though, isn't it? :( (((HUGS)))

You are far braver than I. I no longer do the fair, just to many people and too much crowd.

I am interested in hearing about the odd company though, lol.

Nothing like corn dogs and deep fried junk food at the Fair. Sounds like you had fun, in spite of not the best company, good for you. Thanks also for stopping by my blog.

Deep fried S.nickers? Whoa. I can't do rides anymore. I went on a merry-go-round a few years ago and almost threw up. I'm old.

Mmmmm ... deep fried Snic.kers YUMMO. Good on you for braving the fair. It's funny how rides seem so HUGE when we were kids, but not so big now, huh!

I love fairs-- I love fair food and farm animals and giant vegetables-- but like you, I have realized that some of the rides that used to seem fun now just make me want to vomit. I guess that's one of the downsides of growing up.

I am looking forward to fall and winter and hoping that I won't feel confronted by quite so many obvious pregnancy "bumps."

Glad you had a pretty good time at the fair - the food has me hungry! Had to giggle about the deep fried snickers. It reminded me of when J and I were in Vegas and ate deep fried twinkies and oreos. Wonder why they deep fry already bad food, but it sure is good! Cup cakes sound good too. The tilt a whirl always makes me want to puke, but I still like it for whatever reason :-)
