Fair timeee

[glacier_kitty]

Today mom and I went to the State Fair (after saying bye to Ingrid, since she's leaving tomorrow :( *sniff*)..it rained earlier in the day, but the evening turned out pretty nice..not too hot, not too cold. I got my yearly Dippin Dots lol, and finally I was able to spend a good amount of time at the petting zoo (usually when I try it's either closed, on a break, or I get two minutes before they go on a break). I held a chicken that cuddled right up to me, and stayed on my lap for a long time..even when I took my hands off, it was perfectly happy just to sit there (the other chickens tried to get away lol). It made little chirping noises as I pet it, which sounded like happy content sounds lol..awww. I also held a bunny..the handler told me the way the bunny loved to be pet, and when I pet it that way, it immediately cuddled closer to me and pretty much fell asleep on my lap..d'awwww. Mom was like "that bunny was melting into you!" It would have been cool to hold him longer, but you only had a couple minutes before it was other people's turn. We also pet some pigs and sheep and fed some goats..it was awesome lol. :D We also saw piglets that were an hour old, born while we were at the fair!! Aww, that was cool to see. One thing I HATE about the fair is the people that are shouting at you trying to get you to buy their stuff, like the people at the Midnight Sun Festival being like "GIVE ME YOUR GLASSES!!" They were at the fair too. The first time they asked I was like "ugh nooo," the second time I was completely horrified, and the THIRD time I was just like "REALLY??" I actually thought about taking my glasses off so they would stop asking me, but I'm sure they would have recognized me by then. The vendor next to them was like "feel my soft pillow!" OMG stop, just leave me alone!!! I tried very hard to avoid that area lol..still a good time though :P




Happy International Cat Day!

Ryan stopped by our parents' house..he had been staying with a friend that had surgery, and he also has a boyfriend! I thought he might hehe. ;) He hasn't totally moved out yet, but he might eventually. I wonder if Ryan will let me meet him lol

A few days ago a glacier/wildlife cruise out of Valdez posted a couple awesome videos of Meares Glacier calving..I asked them if the glacier was still advancing, and they said yes! Awesome! :D

August 8 - What is the newest item you own? The popcorn and beaded hummingbird I got at the fair
