fair night

A group of us went to the Yuma County fair last night. First thing first, we had to get our hands on the amazing food. Over priced and delicious! I had a gigantic bbq pork sandwich and a diet soda to even things out. Next, we went to ride the rides. But, I don't actually like to ride the rides, so I just watched with a few other people who don't do rides. It actually made me feel sick just watching!

This entire time, we were having a contest to see who could identify the most students, present and former, at the fair. I think the top count was 42. Oh, the joys of being a teacher!

There are the most decadent cinnamon rolls at the fair. They put Cinnabon to shame! And, that's saying a lot! So, Chris and I shared one of those. Mmm...

I think I forgot to mention the 4H animals somewhere in there. Well, we looked at them too. It's weird to me that the preppiest kids ever raise pigs, steers, goats, etc. Do you know what they do if their animal dies in the process of them raising it? They simply enter its carcass into the competition. Hmm...

Baby goats are adorable! I might be able to handle one of those in the future.

What else did we do? We watched a hypnotist hypnotize ten people. One of the people happened to be one of my coworker's boyfriend, Will, the scrawniest Marine you've ever seen in your life. Anyhow, I was in disbelief the whole time, but it seemed real. Who knows?!?

Oh yeah...you were supposed to be 16 to participate in the hypnotizing, but one of our students, Sabrina, volunteered and she's only 14. I'm going to have to mention that to her on Monday. I love being a teacher!

At the end of the night, I went on the ferris wheel. I'm even scared to be on that ride, because the older I get the more afraid of heights I become. And, the fact that I could've died on it doesn't help me out too much either!
