We went to the State Fair recently. The Fair is a dying cultural icon. It is rooted in an agricultural society that has become a foreign culture for us Suburbanites. Still we had a good time watching live sharks, eating overpriced funnel cake and riding the ferris wheel.
"Hey kids, don't you want to recreate the feeling of going down with the ship!" ;-)

The Zipper.
That might be the one thing that finally kills these carnivals.
The last time I attended one was in 2001, and after riding the Zipper I promised myself never to ride another carnival ride ever. I thought for sure it wasn't going to end me.
However, I'll go back for the food and games. And the ferris wheel, I think its still safe. :)
Love the pic of your girls on the ferris wheel - they look like they are having the time of their lives!
Jeremy,
The kids are getting so big - they are beautiful. We miss you guys - hope to see you at a concert soon.
Amy
