The fair gives you the opportunity to challenge yourself. Wow! I had many very scary experiences so far today -- by going on two rides that I would not have gone one except for the urging of Sondra. One was Jumping, which takes you up, spins you around, waves you around in the air, lulls your into thinking you're going to stop. Just when you do, you're taken back up in an instant and spun some more until you gradually go down. The other was Fireball, which takes you up and makes you think you're going to hit the other cars, other people, and the trees. as we went up spinning and couldn't see anything even though it should be a great view, my friend Sondra loudly screamed "I can't see because of the stupid snow!!" It might be the last weekend of summer, but there definitely wasn't snow. Just a lot of rain.
So far, two thumbs up for the fair, and six raindrops down for the weather!! Would have shared a photo but the card reader isn't connected. Sorry folks!
