Gosh I've only been to the fair twice in the last 12 years or so. It was a lot of fun taking the kids. We rode the ginormous slide, I almost barfed after ingesting a lemon shake up and I got to go to the potty with a 25lb, 16 month old strapped to my back-never did that before!
But seriously the kids had so much fun. They've never ridden amusement park rides before and so this was especially special. You'd think I would have brought a camera with us but no. It was interesting trying to find gluten free foods at the fair. Ahh sure I could have roasted corn on the cob but I was really craving protein and instead indulged in the Potroast Sundae, minus the gravy. Oh yeah a pot roast sundae. What the hell is that you wonder? Well it's shredded potroast, tender and actually very tastey, then mashed potatoes ontop and then gravy with a cherry tomato ontop of that, all served in a bowl to boot. It was fancy and yummy. However it did not do my stomach well, hence going to the potty with a 25lb baby strapped to my back-tmi...I know already. It was quite humorous in the potty. Baby J got a hold of the toilet paper at one point and just kept pulling and pulling, until there was a big pile. I pretty much let him have free reign of the toilet paper cause aye he was stuck to my back while I was on the pot.
Some in our group, not me, tried fried mac and cheese, fried ravioi, fried meatballs, fried potatoes, fried crab rangoon. Deep fried heaven right? I did see deep fried candy bars, deep fried smores & deep fried buckeyes. Sorry Rachel I didn't see the deep fried pickles but I'm sure they were there somewhere. I had a lemon shakeup and it was all she wrote between that and the Potroast Sundae, I stuck to unsweetened tea the last 4 hours of time we were there.
We had a blast and I'm excited to go again next year, I'm beat now. But I must shred. Have a great weekend.

No camera, what were you thinking!
(okay, enough of Dr. Phil)
Glad you had a great time.
Pot roast sundae...hmmm, sounds like a clever idea for dinner! I think I'll have to try that.
And, Momma Bear, you need a camera phone. Perfect for the times you forget the camera.
they even had deep fried cap'n crunch! im slightly regretting not trying it...aye aye cap'n!!
The fair was fun! I hadn't been in years. I am really wishing I saw a.) deep fried pickles, and b.) tried said "fried cap'n crunch" mentioned by BoLOGna.
i know! I didn't see any frid capncrunch, sadly. I think I may have tried that especially if it were peanut butter capncrunch.
Sounds like fun. I'm looking forward to our fair. It's not here till mid-September so we have a little while to wait. :) Cute photos.
