Plus, out of everyone, she's a cheap date.
We got there and I realized I FORGOT MY CAMERA! Oh, NOOOOOOO. *Everyone takes photos of the Lilacs and the various oddities (people) that walk around.
Oh, well, we knew what we wanted to taste and see, so here's our (photo-less) report:
- Top of the list: fresh-squeezed lemonade, corn dog and funnel cake (hey, I never said I was going for healthy and balanced)
- I was buying some clever tees that I thought my kids would appreciate,
Bruises are cool.
- and since they were buy 2, get one free; I was deliberating over the design of the third (for me). As I was debating whether to go with one that was too large vs one that was, shall we say, more form-fitted; my daughter pipes up to help me with my decision by saying; "If you want it to last longer (to grow into) you should go with the bigger one." :-X The proprietor and I looked each other and cracked up. Umm, no, I don't think that's what I'm shooting for.
- A select few of you will get why we HAD to have this tee, "I canoe. Canoe canoe?"

- The kettle corn line was about a 1/4 of a mile long. No lie. What is the appeal?
- There was an older man wearing dirty yellow crocs. Why?
- There were 2 women who we kept crossing paths with who were dressed like the Wicked Witch of the West with striped stockings and thick black shoes. Yes, 2 of them.
- As I waited in line for a turkey leg (Yay! I don't have to cook dinner!) we were surrounded by a group of gang-bangers (or pierced, bandanna'd, droopy-drawered wannabees) with potty mouths who peppered their speech with so many f%^&s that a girl in front of us told them to knock it off. Aaahhhh, diversity.
- I had to mortgage my house to buy 2 turkey legs.
- They were big enough to feed a golf foursome.
- Even my 14 year old gave up and said he couldn't finish it.
- Artichokes French were a HUGE disappointment.
They really are beautiful and fragrant.
