Fried Fun


Am I
36 inches yet? :(





















Need I say more?

Greasy. Sweaty. Expensive. Awesome. The State Fair is an experience that, for some reason, keeps us coming back year after year. Where else can you turn perfectly healthy vegetables into a pile of grease? We tried out the Riley Fun Park which was totally fun and had so much stuff we'd never seen before. We also got trapped in the agricultural building during a torrential downpour which we were hoping was perfectly timed to go ahead and grab dinner... but WHO EATS A VEGETABLE OR FRUIT PLATE at the fair?? They had choices like cold tomato juice and turkey sandwiches. WHAT?! Where was the chocolate covered bacon we'd heard so much about? (Gross.) Needless to say, we waited until we could get our pulled BBQ pork and roasted corn slathered in butter. And after spending about $50 in rides and food, Josh offered Emma a deal she couldn't refuse. She wanted a $6 slushie, so he paid her $1 to get a McDonald's sundae instead. Now that's a deal where everyone wins. :)
