The Fair

Hey everybody. This post is coming in a few weeks late, but better late than never, right? Yogurl and I went to the fair and had a blast. We spent more money and ate more fried food than we planned to, but it was still great. Actually, Yogurl ate more fried food than planned, I ate the exact amount I planned to eat.
Our trip started at a nearby college, where we parked for free and rode a bus the rest of the way to the fair. It was kinda fun riding on a school bus together, even if the seats aren't designed for people our height. Yogurl enjoyed visiting the livestock displays, and petting animals she wasn't supposed to pet while I stood by her and whimpered that the goat was probably going to bite her hand off. She got lucky this time. Somebody must have drugged up the goats to keep them tame. I really enjoyed playing basketball with Yao Ming. He couldn't handle my blocking skills. See the fear in his eyes?
Of course the best part was all the crazy food. We had fried sweet potato, mushrooms, artichoke hearts, zucchini, and best of all a deep fried snickers. As for non-fried foods, Yogurl's favorite was the cinnamon roll and my favorite was the Krispy Kreme chicken sandwich. Oh yes, a crispy chicken patty in the middle of a jelly filled Krispy Kreme donut. Delicious. Yogurl just told me that my pick doesn't count as a non-fried food.
While we were there we also saw a gigantic steer. This picture doesn't do it justice. Its head was the size of my torso. This thing was unreal.
Other than that, we mostly just realized how old we are getting. We went on a couple of rides and got sick to our stomachs. We didn't toss our fried goods or anything, but we certainly didn't feel up to going on any more rides. Anyway, it was a really fun day.
