On Tuesday night, our family went to the fair, courtesy of mom and dad. My sister and her family went also. We arrived at the fair grounds at 4:30 pm and left around 9:30 pm. By the end of the night I realized that I wasn’t a young whipper snapper anymore. My feet were aching and the lower part of my back was hurting. I’m sure riding all the rides didn’t have anything to do with it, right? We had a great time eating fried Oreos and funnel cakes. There is nothing like spending quality time with your family. One of the highlights of our trip was me riding the rides with my boys. Oliver and I rode the MEGA DROP. I’m not sure how high you go, but I could see the parking lot that was far off. I asked Oliver if he was ready for the drop and he said, “NO!” I said, “oh well, here we go.” We got to the top and there was a pause and then it happened. We dropped!! It happened so fast, so fast that my butt came off the seat. WOW, what a ride. We got off the ride and Oliver said, “Man that was fast” and we both laughed our way to the next ride. Caleb and I rode a ride (can’t remember the name of it) that goes really high and spends around really fast. He liked it until it went super high and fast then he had this “oh my goodness!” look on his face. Afterwards he said, “Man, let’s do that again.” It’s times like these that put a smile on my face. It’s times like these that I forget about life’s troubles. Family means the world to me. Never take for granted the blessings of a family. Family has a way to cloud your frustrations and bring sunlight to your day. WE HAD A BLAST AT THE FAIR!!!
Shalom,
O.B.
