The Only Place It's Acceptable to Walk Around With a Jumbo Turkey Leg...

Photobucket


Yep, you guessed it... THE FAIR.

The Little Rock Fair was full of the usual: funnel cakes, carneys, rides, and fun. However, as I get older, the rides are not what they used to be. They are still scary and large, don't get me wrong. It's just now all I can do is think about not getting sick on the person in front of me during the entire ride, which makes the carney games all the more enticing!!

Jake (Josh's brother) and his girlfriend Courtney rode a ride that I was happy to be taking pictures of and not riding myself, but they had fun ;)

Meanwhile, Josh and I tried our luck at the "Ring around the coke bottle" game.

This is what lured me in to playing this IMPOSSIBLE game...

and these

But, with no luck at ringing the coke bottles, we moved onto the next game...



DROWN THE CLOWN!!!

Photobucket


The clown was being so mean to people that I MADE Josh and Jake play the game. I figured if two pro baseball players can't dunk the clown, who could?!

I think they were more nervous to "Drown the Clown" then they are pitching a baseball game! Luckily though THEY BOTH DUNKED HIM!! It was great ;) BUT, they didn't win a prize, so of course we had to try another game ;)


Photobucket

This one was called "Fool the Guesser"
The Carney had to guess Josh's weight within 2 lbs high or low. He guessed 198 lbs.
Josh stepped on the scale and....


Photobucket

He weighed 208!!!! The Carney was 10 lbs off so we won an alien!!!!!



It kind of looked like Josh...


Photobucket

Okay, so the plastic Alien was no stuffed Tiger, but our nephew Brooks LOVED it, and that's all that matters ;)

The fair was such a fun day spent with family, and we were all actually sad it came to an end!

Baby Will was especially sad...

Photobucket


So, Josh gave him some ice to chew on and once again, all was right in the world.

**Note: My camera went kaput during our travels in the Giant forest due to the Bug Incident. Josh's camera is taking fuzzy photos, so we are looking forward to getting a new camera soon! I'm looking forward to sharing higher quality photos with you very soon! xoxo
