Ryan worked a lonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng day on Saturday and was absolutely exhausted when he got home. I offered for us to skip our initial plans of going to the fair and just stay home to rest, but he promised if he could just rest for a little bit, we could have a fun night at the fair. So I read while he napped, and then we headed back to Greentown for round 2 of the fair.
I don't know what it was like where you were on Saturday, but we had our first real gut-smacking heat of the
year on Saturday. The humidity was ridiculous and it was hard to even catch your breath outside sometimes. So you know...spending the evening in the middle of crowds and cooktops seemed the way to go!!
Actually the crowd wasn't SO bad, since it was the last night of the fair, and we had a really nice time just walking around watching the people and eating the food.
We split a tenderloin...
It's POSSIBLE that I found my way to the fried mushrooms again. POSSIBLE.
And we split an elephant ear. {I am not nearly the pig these pictures make me out to be.}
We headed back to the tiger show, and it had just ended, but they were rewarding the tigers with treats for a job well done. After watching that consumption, we decided Braeya is just a very small tiger.
We paused to talk to people here and there....and walked all through the fairgrounds just for fun.
We thought about riding the Ferris Wheel, but we decided to skip it and stick to our budget. {Food consumed the entire budget.}
Instead, we went to check out the tractors. We think this one might have had a misprint on price. It was nice and all, but not THIS nice. {Enlarge the pic if you can't see the fine print.}
And then we did what we do best: TAKE PICTURES OF OURSELVES BEING DORKS.
We left just in time to get home before the MASSIVE DELUGE hit...so I think we timed it just about right. Now...one more year before the mushrooms are back!

Ryan looks a little bit unhappy about the prospect of sharing that tenderloin sandwich (which looks really good, btw). Saturday was beastly hot here in southwest Ohio, too. Around 8:30- 9:00 pm a storm blew in and we received our nearly daily rainfall.
Ryan has recently decided he looks terrible in all food pictures, and he blames hunger for it. So rather than TRYING to smile, he has resorted to making crazy faces. This was his tenderloin face, apparently. LOL. We both played nice and shared our food, though it's doubtful either of us wanted to. Have you had a few rainless days this week? We have and I rather enjoy it!
That is the biggest elephant ear I have ever seen!
Do you like Morel Mushrooms too??
yum and yum!! (tenderloin and elephant ear) so glad you had a great time and i love that you take photos of it all! XOXO
That's a good explanation of his face then, lol! With the plastic knife in one hand, I really thought the prospect of him splitting that bad boy in two was despairing to him! We haven't had rain since Sunday night and there is no rain in the forecast until Sunday. Looks like the ol' watering can is going to called out of storage for the first time since early June. We are enjoying the sunshine, that's for sure. I'm sure you are, too.
Yum! And you were brave to venture to the fair. I basically stayed inside all weekend because it was so hot! And those fried mushrooms -- I might have to visit during fair time just to get some of those :)
