Delta Fair

Every year I have to work at the fair. I never really look forward to it, but Warren always gets excited. He knows that since I have to be there anyway, I will agree to bring the kids.

This year I waited until the very last day and I thought that the rain might save me, but it let up just enough to give us a few hours on the midway. I have to admit that the fair is a billion times more exciting with a 5 and 7 year old in tow.

We had limited funds ($35) so we had to be choosy in how we spent it. Here's the breakdown:

Ping Pong Toss (in order to win a goldfish, which we did not): $7
Bungee Jumping: 2 for $10
Food for animals at petting zoo: $3
Giant Corn Dog: $5
Giant Lemonade: $5
Smoked Sausage Sandwich: $5

We also saw ostrich races, a snake lady and the Freak Show Deluxe for free. Sadly we ran out of money before we saw the live monkey in the photo booth ($10 per picture). And I refused to spend $7 on the tiniest amount of taffy ever, much to Jiro's disgust.

The bungee jumping was by far the highlight of the evening. Satchel said, "That was more fun than playing my DS!" I don't know if he's ever given such high accolades to anything else!
