That's Not Fair

Big day yesterday. Taking care of some last minute things before we go outta town for the weekend. First! I had to cut my hair. Gonna be in a wedding ya know, and I wanna look right smart now.



I think it looks good.

Laura had this Chili's gift card from her birthday just burning a hole in her pocket so we blew that.




And on the way home we saw that it was family night at the Tannersville Fireman's Carnival, and well, who can pass up that promise of entertainment.

Not us!



Turns out this carnival is pint sized. We still stuck around.



Where's all the rides?



No. We didn't even try.

This is where we laughed at how close the ferris wheel was in proximity to the power lines.



Ha Ha Ha!!

Chilly at the [mini] Himalaya?



And the biggest event at the Tannersville Fireman's Carnival, the reason it comes to town ever year: The Rat Wheel. What's a Rat Wheel you say? Well apparently a Rat Wheel is kind of like a Wheel Of Fortune game show, only rat size, and instead of pushing the wheel, the rats are on it. And then what happens? Glad you asked. Then a dude with a dinner bell ring-a-dings in the rats ears til he's good and terrified and tries to hide in one of the many holes cut out in this rodent-scaled wheel of horror. And then someone wins an oversized inflatable crayola.

Check it out we took video:



Rat Wheel, by Pepsi.

We cheered up some when on our way out we spotted the ice cream waffle stand.



Close up?



Drool on your keyboard.

The fair was a little disappointing but we still had a couple more things on our to-do list:

1) Cross a grassy field.



And, 2) watch the sun set.



Good day. Now back to it.
