Fair food is hilarious though, at the Calgary Stampede I came across a "beef" taco in a bag, it was nothing like beef and nothing like a taco, what the heck was it? I like the animals at fairs, but the smell, oh jeez the smell!Sara Gnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2221719422844320229.post-63112750607334994882011-10-27T00:14:18.068-04:002011-10-27T00:14:18.068-04:00The kool aid was so fascinating!!!

We attended Great America's Halloween Haunt on a Sunday night, and only had to wait for about 10 minutes per line. I read on Yelp that some people had to wait over one hour per attraction. That's crazy. I'm a big fan of pigs too :)Kimhttp://highheelscitystreets.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2221719422844320229.post-65295872319870875012011-10-26T17:47:23.488-04:002011-10-26T17:47:23.488-04:00Morgan, these pics are adorable girl.

I'm sad we didn't get to try the red velvet funnel cake because I heard about it but never found it. And the animals are by far my favorite part of the fair!Lauren Chapmanhttp://profiles.google.com/lauren.bouchardnoreply@blogger.com
