Monkeys Ridin' Dogs!

Tonight we went to the Alabama State Fair!

I have never been to a State Fair, but my family and I went to the County Fair (wherever we happened to live at the time) every year growing up.

Earlier in the week they had armbands half off, so that you could ride whatever rides you wanted as many times as you wanted. A group of friends and I all purchased arm bands, and Autumn and I have been looking forward to it most of the week.

Here's a recap of the night:

I LOVE spinney rides, most everyone ended up getting a little sick, but Alecia hung with me

this would be the ride that got the best of them ;0)

No Hands!!... Stacey always has been one to live on the edge

the swings...Cody's method to overcoming dizziness..."stare at the same object the whole time"

view from the swings

a little uncertain about whatever we were about to encounter...

After we rode everything we wanted to ride... we indulged in a very nutritious dinner

basically, a stomach ache waiting to happen...

But if you come to the fair...it's the rule..ya have to eat it

and let's face it most of the time, I'm a rule follower. There just isn't anything to be done about it

We wrapped the night up with the "Monkeys Ridin' Dogs" show that we had heard advertised on the radio all week... I thought I got a descent picture, but it turns out I didn't

My assessment of the show:

Let's just say it was interesting, but not nearly as great as the advertisement makes it out to be.

in turn causing a little disappointment

But all is well... I had a great night out with friends!

and Tomorrow morning... I get to run off all the calories I consumed tonight

Thankfully the mornings have been cool, so I'm actually looking forward to it...Nice change considering it's been in the 90's by 0800 lately

Tomorrow starts my 7 days off, and even though I have a busy day ahead of me...I am Beyond excited!

To all those that go back to work tomorrow...I'll think of you when I get a couple more hours sleep than ususal!

Have a great week!!!
