Today we spent a huge afternoon at the State Fair. As I think I've written about before, I really love the fair. It's great to see so many people out having a good time, especially on a day as beautiful as today was. It's a simple day, where you look at the canned and baked goods, you watch the parade - which for some reason always includes a dancing pickle - you do a little shopping, and of course, you eat yourself sick. And when I say eat, I mean veggie fries, pronto pups, cheese curds, beef sticks, lemonade, turkey drumsticks, tubes of honey, mini doughnuts, macaroni and cheese on a stick, deep fried candybars on a stick, milkshakes, root beer, and enormous cups of fresh cut fries. And if you're lucky, you can mooch a few free cookies off the people who carry huge tubs of them around. It's so ridiculous that by the end of the day a bunch of shaved ice with flavored syrup poured on it sounds 'light and refreshing'. And the craziest part is that it actually kind of is.
