It is simply amazing how inventive human beings can be if they really want to kill themselves.
Yesterday was $3 day at the fair, so we decided to brave the crowds and meet up with a few friends. Jack had a blast. He got to say hi to some animals, play games, ride rides, and eats lots of junk food. He even had a deep-fried Oreo, which didn't look as disgusting as it sounds, although I still couldn't bring myself to taste it. Jack loved it. We refrained from sampling the deep-fried butter.
I have seriously never seen a greater variety of fried foods in my life. They have fried Twinkies, fried Snickers, fried Klondike bars. I joked that next year they will sell deep-fried lard.
Baaa!

Jack's favorite part of watching this elephant ride was when the elephant peed
Violet was asleep when we first arrived, but she woke up once we got through the initial hubbub of parking and getting into the fairgrounds. Unfortunately, she doesn't love her car seat/stroller if she's awake, so I ended up having to carry her most of the time. Thank goodness for good friends who will help me watch one child while I deal with the other one.
Thankfully, both children fell asleep on the car ride home and stayed asleep through the resulting traffic jam. We had a great time at the fair and may have to go back before it's over. Next time, we're bringing Daddy with us.
