State Fair 2005

Yesterday afternoon Dad,Mom,Mark,Jamie and I went to the State Fair of Virginia. After we parked a tram picked us up to drive us to the front gate,although we weren't that far away from it. The seats in the tram was burning hot!!! A few seconds later Mom went to the ticket booth to buy our tickets while we stood near the entrance in anticipation. Mom gave us our tickets and we went through the gate. Jamie and I got a smilely face arm band that meant we could ride the rides. Every year we go through all the exhibits first. First the Virginia building with it's Brunswick Stew,the milk in a bottle at the "Got Milk" booth and the always Farm Beauru booth with it's funny cow. The next building over had a lot of fish... BORING!!! Outside of the second building was the blue ribbon vegetables and stuff like that. Another thing we always do is go to see the cows and goats. I don't really get the point of going to the cows barn when I can see a thousand of the same kind at Pop Pop's farm. Goats on the other hand, I hardly ever see. As we walked down to the big red barn to look at some more cows (o joy) we stopped at a stunt show which was cool but would have been cooler if the sun wasn't blazing in my eyes the whole time. After thirty minutes we went to the big red barn for a few minutes. We then stopped to get a Icee. Mine was a Mountain Dew Icee,it was very good. All of us quickly went through the three other large buildings with arts,crafts and peoples selling stuff. Dad and I found some chairs we could hang up on the front porch because our old white one broke and the peoples who did our siding took it down. We didn't buy it though, Dad said we could probably find it on Google. Mark wanted to some Country singing thing but Jamie and I didn't want to. So Dad went with Mark and Mom stayed with Jamie and I so we could go on the rides. I think the first ride we went on was The Caterpiller mini roller coaster. After that we went in a fun house. I went on the Tornado. Jamie went on the fun house two more times. Then both of us went on he Tornado. Both of us then went on the Hang gliders which went higher than last year,so I screamed a little bit. Jamie went on the Ferris Wheel, I HATE it so I didn't go on it. Then Jamie and I went on the Crazy Mouse. While standing in line for it I saw my little rebel Logan. He said "Hi" and I said "Hi" back. Poor Jamie was on the side of the car on the Crazy Mouse so when it kept doing fast turns I get squishing him. Before we got on I told him to sit on the inside part but no,he didn't listen to me!!! Jamie then went on a roller coaster type thing that looked to scary for me to go on. By now both of us were tired of rides to we met up with Dad and Mark at the Country thing. I REALLY hope Mark goes back to his nice Country music but I doubt he will. We stayed to hear a few songs. Before we left Jamie got some pizza and a drink. Dad,Mom,Mark and I had barbecue from Virginia Tech. I had pork barbecue,Dad had chicken barbecue and Mark had beef barbecue. Everyone had a drink,coleslaw and beans also. Soon it started to drizzle a little so we walked hastily to the van. When we got home I was wide awake from my Mountain Dew Icee and Mountain Dew from my meal I had I stayed up until one thirtish!!!
