Sunday we took the girls to the fair. The girls rode the rides, I ate a turkey leg, and simultaneously combusted from temporarily losing my pre-teen and her friend to the fair gods. It all started with Jason and Hazel going to see the animals, per Hazel’s request. I offered to take Ella and her friend Alaina straight to the rides. I bought the girls giant lemonades and purchased a turkey leg that I proceeded to demolish while holding said lemonades while the girls rode the Fireball of Death ride. I watched as Ella climbed the circle with the roller coaster and somehow handed off her glasses in time before the coaster when completely inverted on the track. Jason managed to redeem Hazel’s ride armband after some difficulties (LOL). I told him to meet me by the swing ride, and lo and behold there were two swing rides and we ended up waiting for each other at the different respective rides. Somehow between connecting with Jason and the girls hopping on another ride, I lost the Ella and Alaina. I searched for a sold 15 minute in sea of county Florida folk. Finally Jason texted me and had laid eyes on them. They then did the Drop ride which did look fun, and Hazel did the fun house multiple times. We took the tram bad to the car grass lot that was the size of 4 football fields of cars. As we boarded the tram another family jumped off at the fair entrance. The Florida matriarch told the tram driver that she loved her purple hair. The mother smiled and she had no teeth. She let her hair down to reveal red white and blue colored hair. She laughed with her bare gums and said my husband did it. I reflected on the various interesting people I saw at the fair and happily thought to myself that I don’t have to be here for another year. Hooray! The girls had fun and my nerves and my bum left foot were shot. Hazel also had her first deep fried Oreos and refused to share. I got home and dosed myself up with some advil for my foot and climbed into bed early for a restful nights sleep.
