When we arrived, it was clear why Gramps, Nana, and Auntie were invited.
The Money
The Babysitter
The Bag Lady
We weren’t upset. You couldn’t pay me to ride those rides. I can’t take it. I get so easily carsick. I mean Disneyland is pushing the limits for me. So the three of us attended to watch the kids and eat food that is currently clogging my arteries. You also couldn’t pay me to ride anything after witnessing the first ride the kids rode.
Please note that the light has been kicked in and the propeller is missing on Ryan & Zach’s plane. It was terrifying!
The wonderful and I think magical thing about these fairs is that they haven’t changed since my mom and dad were dating. I loved walking in and hearing my mom say to my dad, “Are you going to win me a prize tonight?” Also, I kid you not, the rides are exactly the same as when I was a kid! The pictures below are proof that these rides are the same ones I rode at the California State Fair in 1990. It’s a little concerning.
The truly amazing thing about the fair is that kids find it to be spectacular. I remember having the time of my life at the state fair. Annie & Zach were living the good life tonight…except when Zach got off the first rollercoaster and said, “Well. Hated that.”
Wouldn’t it be great if we could see the world through kids eyes? Instead my eyes focused on the woman standing next to me gnawing on corn, the undercooked corn-dogs being eaten by people, and my favorite part the creepy people running the rides.
It was a wonderful night, full of people watching. My favorite thing to do! Oh. I would also like to note that my mom gets wild at fairs. She walked in saying hello to strangers and dancing to the music. Oh. By far the best part of the night when a little girl tripped Annie, my mom turned to me and said, “I would totally fight her.” She was probably 7.
I would also like to note, that Ryan LeMasters did in fact pay for things tonight…Gramps didn’t open his wallet until the money ran dry.
