NJ State Fair

We met Darryl at Picatinny and saw this Hazmat Truck and a fire truck screaming out of there with lights and sirens going. I wonder what they were carrying. Is was really hot at the fair! We (mostly me) were very disappointed because we (mostly me) wanted to go on ALLLL the rides! But we found out that the rides all cost extra, for some dumb reason. So we ended up only going on one stinking ride, which cost us over $15....for like a minute and a half ride. What a rip-off! So we tried to get a better attitude and just go on with life without all the adrenalin rushing through our bodies. Decided to go get food and just wander around aimlessly looking at stuff.

A giant cat, mouse and cheese thing... made out of straw?

Ok, I had to give this big ole black bear a hug.

We all got lessons on how to shoot a cross bow. It was great. I think we all did pretty well. I know I got mine in the target thingy.

Here's Kyle...

Some big horses...

cute lemonade stand...

and of course, let's not forget the MONSTER TRUCKS! The whole reason we went to the fair to begin with. We did feel much better when we went to the show because a lady came up to us when we were in line and she gave us 3 tickets! So, that saved us $30.00. I really don't know how anyone can afford to go to the fair though, seriously. Because it costs to get in, then for tickets for rides, then for food and drinks (well, that is ok) and then again for any shows. It was not a cheap date, that's for sure. And I never did get a meal out of it.... just a few snacks.

The Extinguisher...

We saw quad races. The NJ team won against NY.

And we saw truck races.

This was this guy's first time driving and he ended up like this....
another monster truck...

and here's TowMater, the tow truck...I wish you could see how big these trucks are. They are so loud, it's like they are pulsating through your body.

"After"

I'll post videos tomorrow...
