Well, it's been awhile (I think 4 years), but Patty and I made it to the State Fair this year. For those reading this, who do not know what a State Fair is, I really can't do it justice on a blog - it's something you really need to experience first hand. However, we did make the NYTimes for our deep fried Reese's peanut butter cups.The cheapness in me came through, so Patrick and I rode our bikes to the Fair to save $5 in parking. They also gave us a $1 off coupon for the entrance tickets - cool.
Besides making fun of people and counting how many people have mullets, the other past time is eating food that's really bad for you. In that spirit, we had a grilled cheese sandwich washed down with a chocolate milkshake. Followed by a relatively healthy veggie gyro for me, and a quarter of duck for Patrick. While walking out, we grabbed an elephant ear - so I think we kept our caloric intake to under 4000 calories each.
We did run into Joe and Michelle Grabczak with Morgan and Mason in tow (yes, they have a lot of people in their family that starts with the letter 'M'). And even more surprising we ran into David Everett and his parents. I had not seen David since the 6th grade, when we went to Grandview Elementary School together. His parents haven't changed a bit.
I think that was about it - besides looking at very large pigs and little bunnies. We were a little short on time, since we had to get our bikes out of hock by 8PM.
