Heart Attack on a Stick and Other Good Things at the Fair - Week 2!

So I went back to the (Puyallup) Washington State Fair yesterday, since I scored two free tickets at work.  I remembered my camera, but accidentally left the SD card at home, so most the photos on this post are taken with an iPod.

I arrived with my friend, starving.  We first got a delicious hot scone with jam, which now may be my most favorite thing at the Fair.  So good!.

Right after that, I bought myself one of those foot-long corn dogs my coworker-friend had told me about, and.... wow.  It was a challenge to eat.  Not only because I had a scone, just before, but the weight of the corn dog made it so it had to be eaten sideways!  When I got full, I was going to carry it around for awhile, but it was too awkward to handle in a crowd.  So, sadly, after finishing a little over half of the mammoth-sized corn dog, I threw it away.  It was tasty, though.  I am certain that it will be the last foot-long corn dog I ever eat.  I think if I had not had the scone, I could have finished it, in one sitting, but it is just way too much heart attack on a stick for me.  So, if I feel the need to eat a corn dog again, it will be a normal or mini size.

The weather was supposed to be bad - rain and possible thunderstorms.  It ended up nice enough to not wear a jacket, with only gray clouds looming overhead once in awhile.

We looked at some more exhibits this time, and some impressive collections.

I looked at some more animals.

My friend encouraged me to play some games with her.  She won something and gave it to me (because she just wanted to play the game).  I won something myself, throwing darts at balloons.  I have always been good at that game, not really sure why some people have a hard time with it.

 We also went in the commercial building again.  It wasn't too bad.  I convinced my friend we should do that last.  I bought some Strawberry Popcorn by Killian Corn.  It is incredibly good!

I still did not get to see everything I wanted to see, but I feel a little more satisfied.  The scones are definitely worth it, and the lines get very long.  We were lucky to have a short line to stand in.

We were given a "lucky" marble.

Towards the end, it was about to rain, so my friend wanted to leave.  I kind of wanted to see some other things, but I was starting to get tired, and her feet were tired, so we left.  The rain started to sprinkle down a little at that point, so I guess it was the perfect time to go home.  Overall, it was a pretty good experience.
