Today is September. It's not September 1st, I am a little late on that one, but I still can't believe its already September! It's so sad when summer is coming to an end. But it's also exciting because I love fall. Fall means wonderful things like pumpkin coffee, super crunchy leaves, and bon fires. I really love all of those things.
But this post is not about fall. I know that intro may have misled you, but this post is in fact about summer. One of my favorite parts of summer is...get ready...don't make fun of me....seriously, cuz I'll punch you......the Delaware State Fair! Woooo rednecks!
Okay, let me explain. When J and I started dating 4 score and 7 years ago...wait that's not right...2ish years ago, we went to the Delaware State Fair. Hey, it was something to do and admit it, who doesn't like to people watch and eat fried food outside?
Anyway, we were a new item at this point so J paid for things and tried to impress me by winning me prizes at the fair games. It was a great night. So it has become tradition. And the fair always falls on the week of our anniversary, so yep you guessed it, the fair was our little anniversary celebration this year. It has been such a crazy summer and we have had people coming to stay with us almost every weekend. Our anniversary weekend we had nothing to do and it was the weekend of the fair, so we went. We got drunk, we ate corn dogs and funnel cake and pizza and fried oreos and then almost threw up.
We pet pigs and goats and cows and sheep! We also fed a giraffe.

| This is a giraffe. |
I have never been this close to a giraffe before. I mean I have seen them on t.v. and in magazines but I have never been up close with one. She was so tall! I mean, yes I know giraffes are tall, I'm not a complete idiot. But when you're standing under one...they are really freaking tall!

| This is J feeding her. Carrots only. No cupcakes. |

| Yeah, I fed her too. She licked my hand which I then immediately wiped on J's shorts. |
As you can see the giraffe stole the show. She was very cool. Okay so back to my story. The Delaware State Fair is in Harrington. People who are not Harrington locals call Harrington "Lower Slower Delaware"
The fair grounds are connected to a casino. The perfect storm.
We gambled and drank beer. And J won money! Wahoo!
He then tried to impress me for old times sake and remind me how good he is at throwing a dart 3 feet to pop a tiny half deflated balloon stuck to a wall. He won me lots of stuff.
We spent 5 hours at the fair. Who does that!?
Crazy people.
Peace, Love, and Watermelon Ninjas
