Carnies

The Carnival came to our hometown this past week, so Friday my little sister and I went to enjoy being scrambled around in those crazy rides.

The lights of Carnival Rides at night is such a spectacular sight.
It's so magical.

The whirring of the rides, the scent of funnel cakes and popcorn, and the loud music accompanied by screams from the Scrambler and Tilt-a-Whirl.

But those Carnival workers are a class of their own, are they not?
I never knew they were nicknamed Carnies until our family had a discussion about it.
I know you shouldn't judge people, but you know when you go to a fair you feel a little uneasy with some of these characters. Just the term "Carnies" sounds gross to me. None of the particular workers at the fair in our town had teeth, or hygiene from the looks of it. Serious BO my friends.

So my friend Ben sent me this video after we joked about it, and I laughed so hard.

Gosh, y'all are probably thinking I'm so mean after this post.

But be honest, do you know what I'm talking about?! ;)

Talk about FUN!!!

Our city is having a Summer festival right now.. 

and big news folks. 

THE FAIR is involved!

Uhm.. woah.

The fair hasn't been to our town for 13 years.

As in, the last time it came I was in like 2nd grade.

This is huge. 

:)

And you best believe as soon as I got wind of this.. I was there in a skip and a hop. Literally. I skipped to the car, hopped in.. and was there in like 3 minutes. 

We didn't partake in any fair foods.. because friends, the fair is a lot more expensive than we remembered! AND we didn't want to worry about losing our funnel cake on the sizzuhluhhh! ;)

Daddy took all of these fabulous pictures.. I love the lights! This one is my favorite:

Anyways, it was a blast (as if you can't already tell). 

And now we're off to the lake for some Memorial Day weekend LAAAKE TIIIIME!! hollaaa! Hope you all have a wonderful and safe weekend! Can't wait to catch up with the blogs come Tuesday!

Spring Jam!

Calling it the best day of my life is extreme,

but it was pretty darn close.

Our drill field at school was covered in all sorts of fun things yesterday: a ferris wheel, a sizzler, a giant movie screen, cotton candy machines, etc.

Basically, a big, giant field of fun.

The pictures may get excessive, so I apologize in advance.

Ally went on her FIRST Ferris Wheel Ride.

Deprived? I'd say so.

But the Sizzler was hands down our favorite ride!

I'm pretty sure we rode it 5 times.. and we only quit because our necks were starting to hurt from being slung around.

 Allyson and Emily:

me and emily on the sizzler!

After Dinner we went back out to the drill field to watch Grease on the big screen!

 And before the movie started we snapped more pics with the ferris wheel!

Me and Tara

Em & Me

The O-Chem Crew! Patrick, Sarah, & Me (Fellow Science nerds, please note our cyclohexane)

and a normal one ;)

So basically, it was a blasty-blast.

Highlight of Spring Semester so far.

And now on to the WEEKEND!!! 

Happy Friday!
