I took my wife out on the town tonight and by town I mean the dusty, farm animal filled, greese smelling county fair. The highlights of our evening:
1. Meeting Pogo and Roo the sad looking red kangaroos in the "exotic animal" section. We were going to see the 6 ft alligator but soon realized it cost $1...per person! We were on a limited budget.
2. Getting in free...it pays to know everyone in town. I am now the mayor of three cities.
3. Treating my wife to 1/2 an elephant ear. (actually he only gave me 1/4 bc he gave the other half to the school secretary working the gate...how romantic!)
(pfft...this night was all about romance to begin with...hence our next adventure to the cow barn. )
4. The Cow Barn...need I say more.
5. The second cow barn. There were long-haired Scottish cattle. Kate said I could get one if Bryan got Amy a puppy. (Come on Amy!!)
6. Determing what type of deep-fried candy bar/twinkie/oreo to get.
7. Then realizing how disgusting that actually was...but secretly still wanting to try one.
8. Taunted by every kind of Carnie folk imaginable saying I could win whatever prize I wanted if I just gave them a dollar. Pfft, I've seen the Simpsons, I know the Carnie Tricks.
9. A romantic walk home under the stars with the sound of raging tractor pulls in the background.
10. Arriving home to find that our dog didn't pee all over the house as we left her out of her cage for the first time while we were gone! Whoo hoo.

It pays to watch the simpsons. Who knows what those carnies would have tricked you out of if you had not learned from Homer's mistakes. Well done on a wonderful evening. Nothing says romance like the smell of poo in the air.
I'm glad you had a good time at the fair, but in my opinion meeting Pogo and Roo should not have been #1 on your list. Kangaroos are dirty. Their pouch must be all hairy and scummy because their arms aren't long enough to ever get in their and clean in out. Sick.
jk :)
haha. Well we had to put that at number 1 for two reasons.
1. they were the first thing we saw
2. they remind matt of australia..therefore it superceeds all other fair experiences!
but i agree they must be pretty dirty!
