I have THE best friends anyone could ask for. Sorry everyone else out there. Your friends are lame. Besides me of course or if your friends with my friends then those friends we have in common pretty awesome! Anyway my super awesome friends Marissa and Dave had some extra tickets to the fair and they gave them to us so that we could join in their fun at the fair. We ran in quite a bit of luck that day besides that. We were waiting in line to pay for parking when a lady knocked on our window and gave us 2 more free tickets and a free parking pass. After we parked I went hunting down people to give the other free tickets to. Believe me that was a lot harder then it seemed. Then as I was walking into the fair I found a 10 dollar bill on the ground! Plus we also got a free ride on one of the rides because the guy in charge wouldn't let Ella go alone. Which I totally get. So we went and bought tickets for Tyler to go. But he wouldn't let him go with her alone either. So he told us that Nate could ride for free. See? What a great day we had. The weather at the fair was chili and wet. That caused a little unpleasantness but only until we got used to it. we also gave the kids each their own money to spend on whatever they wanted to spend it on. Ella went on a few rides and ate some food. Tyler on the other hand didn't want to waste money on rides and spent all of his money on food. Between the 4 Musil's and the 2 Murphy's we were able to try a lot of food. We had donut burgers, deep fried peaches, deep fried cheese curds, a gyro, a foot long corn dog, a funnel cake, deep fried pickles, seafood chowder, a stuffed pretzel, BBQ corn on the cob, and kettle corn.
We walked away from that day with a full tummy and great memories. You just can't beat an Alaskan State Fair.
Before we even made it inside Ella had to stop and pet the mini ponies.
Ella really wanted to go on the Ferris Wheel but they wouldn't let her alone. So they all went.
Ella also went on this little maze.
The kids willingly posed for pictures in these cut outs.
Ty with his foot long hot dog and the boys with their doughnut burgers. They had eggs and bacon on them.
Some of the veggie winners at the fair.
There was a petting zoo that Ella and I went into. She would of spent the whole day there if I would of let her. Luckily I ran out of quarters pretty fast.
We went into the reptile house. Ella wanted to show that she wasn't scared at all. Of course that snake is in a cage. Just sayin.
There was also a king tut exhibit there. Tyler, Ella, and I went through it. It had some really neat artifacts displayed there.
This is one of the best peach pies I have ever had (my moms is the best). The lady that makes them is 80 years old and makes about that many every day for the fair.
The fair is always such a fun thing for me to attend. I look forward to it every year. And have gone with Marissa every year since I have lived here. Good thing she talks me into it!
Natalie and Nichole opted not to come. I say that they missed out big time.
