State Fair

There is one reason that I look forward to the fair. That reason? The food. There is no food like fair food and no other time in the year that you find it acceptable to eat a turkey leg, Indian taco, roasted corn, cheese on a stick, root beer jug, saltwater taffy, chocolate covered cheesecake, frozen yogurt and corn dogs all in one day. Every year it's the same. Go for the food, stay for the attractions.Rumble is the mascot for the Oklahoma City Thunder. Rumble the bison. Yes, it does make that much sense. Joshy, complete with B and his ecowater crown (again, ecowater and crown - the connection is clear), got a chance to take a picture with the man sweating to death in a bison costume in 100 degree heat. Joshy was pretty excited and we got a poster of Rumble to hang in his room.
Like I said...go for the food, stay for the fun.
Ben loved his spiderman that we bought for the boys. It was almost as tall as he was but he carried that thing around the Agcropolis, sometimes even making it walk along next to him. Him and spiderman moo'd at the cows, baaaa'd at the sheep, tried to crawl into the trashcan. He is quickly learning the phrase "no..no...dirty...gross...".
Last stop of the day was the carnival rides and games. By games I mean "how much do I have to pay you so that my son wins the ball?". $10 and two balls later we were on to the kiddy rides.
It was a good day as most all State Fair days are. The boys enjoyed themselves, I got to eat my weight in Indian taco, we all laughed and my parents had an excuse to be "stylin'" in their matching straw hats...
You can't ask for anything more.
