Apache Fair

Everyone at work kept telling Matt how fun the fair down on the reservation was. There are booths galore, a rodeo, carnival rides, good food, and just tons to look at. So we packed the kids up, drove through a monsoon, and after about 40 minutes in a traffic jam due to the parade we finally made it to the fair grounds. What a HUGE disappointment! There were like 5 food vendors where they served either slimy greasy hamburgers or greasy oily pizza. The two booths that were selling things included a Bart Simpson plastic blow-up doll and spray painted shirts. We decided to wait around for about 30 minutes until the rides opened up before we headed home. We walked around looking at the different games they had until a carny accosted me. He just wouldn't take no for an answer. He had ahold of my wrist trying to force me to throw the stupid toilet paper into the stupid toilet bowl for a stupid toy. He wasn't too happy when I finally told him that I wasn't going to pay good money for his junky toys. Finally, Matt, who had been inspecting a four wheeler noticed my dilemma and came to my rescue. As we were walking away the carnies were yelling at us and being super rude. Honestly! You'd think we had were the first ones to turn them down. Bennett and Jacks got to ride a couple of rides. The carousel was okay, but they LOVED the airplanes. Good thing Matt was sitting with them though because Jacks kept sliding off the seat to the floor of the plane. We topped the day off by bribing Bennett into his car seat with a bag of cotton candy.
