How I fly when I’m with you

I love carnivals. I love atmosphere, the rides, the people watching, the food, everything about it. Just a good ole time for everyone involved!
So Jon and I hit up the Schnecksville Community Fair…in Schnecksville (I love saying Schnecksville – feels like there should be a lot people thing schnecking!) after browsing online to see if any of the local communities had a fair going on (Lower Milford’s starts tomorrow and I’m hoping we can go as we went I think 2 years ago and it was fun). It still amazes me after all my time going to and from Allentown and surrounding areas that the type of people who live inside the city are vastly different than the ones who live 5-10 minutes outside of the city. World of difference especially if you’re a white girl who’s very used to diversity and you go to places like Schnecksville and start counting how many minorities you can find (I found 2 Asian people and that was it).
Anywho so we wandered about sipping a shared lemonade (freshly made!), talking, visiting the petting zoo/4-H animals (OMG cows, sheep, goats, and baby chickens = love! I wish we had petting zoo type stuff close by me!) playing games (Jon, I discovered, could easily have a Skeeball addiction!), looking at all the different stands (I was surprised by the Redskins gear that you could win and the fact is I kinda want a McNabb jersey now that he’s playing for Washington!), and riding the rides. Well I rode 2 – the swings (which I adore) and one that you’re fenced in and it spins you in a circle. I also got Jon to go with me on the ride similar to a roller coaster except it goes backwards and fowards and they blare extremely loud music (I never remember the names of rides). Oddly enough, going on the ride I was much more worried about his stomach and how he’d react but I didn’t consider how I’d react since I do not get motion sickness ever. That being said, tonight was the first time and it could have been a combination of riding 2 rides that spun around within 5 minutes of each other before getting on this one or the fact that I’m getting old (GASP I’m almost 25!) but I was not a fan of this ride! I didn’t get sick but I came close to it
Jon also won me a stuffed purple monkey and a little pug stuffed animal
Tomorrow the zoo to see me some penguins!
