This weekend my family and I went to the fair. I saw one of my old music teachers and thankfully did not see anyone else I knew because I was dripping with sweat and probably smelled worse than the cow barn. We did not go into the cow barn because Mr. B was to distracted by the tractors and other farm equipment to be concerned with a bunch of animals that would be eating the hay when you could harvest the hay with a tractor!
We started out by going in chicken house.
This one was labeled as "senior cock" which I thought was a pretty impressive title until I realized that they were all labeled "senior cock." I don't think that it bothered all the other roasters/chickens that they had to share the same title because they all seemed pretty corgil. But I have worked with several people who might have thought that they deserved that title and I would think there would be problems if they all had the same title. I guess roasters are a little more civil than the "men" I have worked with. This is my favorite chicken picture yet!
The next picture I am about to post reminded me of a comment that my friend Candace made to me in high school. I was showing her my senior pictures, that I was very proud of. Of course, she had to point out that I had no upper lip when I smiled and then said that when I get older I will be the little old lady that puts red lipstick above my lip to counteract the fact that I have a disappearing upper lip. This is the reason I do not wear red lipstick even though it would make my teeth look whiter. I can't help it. The disappearing upper lip is something I get from my Dad's side of the family and I will probably collect pictures one day very soon to prove this. If anyone is interested. Anyway, here is the picture that shows my disappearing lip.
I wish my teeth were bigger so you saw something other than gums.
Bennett had lots of fun riding on the rides and trying to pick up the ladies. The best part is that I got to go on some of the rides with him!
From now on we will travel in tubes! One of the last things we did was go in the monkey maze. I believe that you all have probably been in one of these things at some point in your life. It's the maze of plexi-glass and mirrors that you have to find your way through that ends up taking something fun. Well the first time we went through it Mr. B went first. He did not realize that you can't walk through the plexi-glass. Twice he walked into the panels and it was not a gentle tap either. It was full speed ahead and then BAMMM! After the second time his lower lip was sticking out past his upper lip but he was still interested enough to follow Bekah upstairs where we found these...
It was a lot of fun but really hot! Oh and I got hit on by a carnie! Not really but I did get a fake rose. Haha.
