\"\"Yep, that’s me on the “Tornado”, or as I would like to call it, the “Puke Machine”.\u00a0 My DH & I took the kids to the fair a few weekends ago.\u00a0 It was a beautiful day, warm, sunny, just a perfect fall day.\u00a0 I realized on that day that I am old.\u00a0 Officially, old.\u00a0 Old, meaning that I cannot go on any ride (including the Merry Go Round) without taking Dramamean.\u00a0 Like the spelling of that one??\u00a0 That’s how I spell it, sorry, I’ve lost the ability to spell as I’ve gotten older too.\u00a0 Just ask Elle, who spell checks and corrects my grammar on my posts.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 I used to go on ALL the crazy rides, over and over again when I was younger.\u00a0 A favorite of mine….The Zipper!\u00a0 Now…… yea right, as if!\u00a0 I ended up taking another “dramamean” when I got off of the “Tornado”.\u00a0 I can’t even ride on an elevator without getting that “eck” feeling that my stomach is up in my mouth!\u00a0 WTH!\u00a0 When did I become old and have motion sickness???\u00a0 Apparently I am also now afraid of heights!\u00a0 Yep, never have been, but when we all went on the big Ferris wheel, I was holding on for dear life!\u00a0 My DH asked me, “are you ok?”, “um, yea, why?”, “because you’re holding on so tight and you’re not moving”\u00a0 “oh, that, NBD!”<\/em>\u00a0 That’s sooo gonna mess with my “Amazing Race Adventure” with Elle!\u00a0<\/p>\n

Also, I’ve become scared of “CARNYS!”\u00a0 Not sure if that’s how you spell that one either.\u00a0 But it’s the scary guys that run the rides at traveling carnivals\/fairs.\u00a0 I can remember being a teenager and thinking some of them were cute.\u00a0 Elle says that the scary guys are actually the guys that were once cute, but have aged really badly by living the hard life of a “carny”.\u00a0 I swear at least 3 of them are on a poster at a Post Office somewhere.\u00a0 I’m sure half of them have warrants.\u00a0 And the worst the ride, the more dangerous the “Carny” looked.\u00a0 I mean there was an old guy running the swings, but over on the ride that took 5 tickets and went upside down was a guy that looked like he probably killed at least 3 people!\u00a0 He had tattoos on his head and neck!\u00a0 And I’m not prejudice of tattoos, my DH has numerous ones, just not on his head and neck!\u00a0<\/p>\n

The highlight of the day for our 8 yr old son was a picture he took of a cow’s butt!\u00a0 For our 10 yr old, it was the ride that took 5 tickets.\u00a0 All in all a good day at the fair.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
