yesterday we went to the State Fair after work. It didn't take long to get there and it was only $3 to ride the bus from Brookdale-what a deal! plus no wasted gas.
I was on a mission-food. I wanted to eat lots of fair food-I didn't feel as bad eating so much when Jon was eating 1/2. I started with the corn cob (one all to myself), then Jon helped me with the rest-cheese curds, fish and chips, chicago dog, beergarita, chocolate chip cookies and 2 glasses of milk (the cookies and milk I also had by myself).
Jadah and I went on the Skyscraper. I wanted to do it, then I didn't want to do it when I found out how much it was-$25. Margaret said I had to do it, because you never know where I'll be this time next year-meaning pregnant or with kids. Then I wouldn't be able to go on it, so this was my chance. She slipped me and Jadah some money and off we went. The pictures Jon took were not great-mostly blurry. At 4Gs what can you expect. Thank God the man tightened my straps so hard at the beginning that I couldn't breath, because when we were upside down speeding towards the ground with nothing to hold onto but those straps, I sure was glad they were tight.
Last, but not least...what has the state fair come to when our children have to see statues of this:

Whoever carved that statue must have thought VERY kindly of that guy. he he.
Carrie-not sure who is it but it was in the Heritage Square and at a certain angle, looks very naughty.
