Fun at the PA State Fair

We went to the opening day of the PA State Fair today. Its a great deal, from 5-6 you get free admission and free rides. Shayna went on 6 rides including one with Manny where they "flew" through the air on thier bellies like flying, one with me where we rode through a haunted house, and one with Skyler.

Here is Shayna coming down the giant pink slide:

Soon after this Skyler fell asleep and we ate delicious funnel cake in front of the entrance to the sideshow/freakshow. Shayna and I went in to see the show but I won't share the photos of the cheesy things like the snake woman, headless woman, etc. Once inside they had a gimmick where they would do a magic trick by placing giant knives all over a box with a lady inside but you had to pay another dollar* to walk up the steps and look inside. They also had a special "secret bonus" feature behind the big curtains that you had to pay an extra dollar to see. We didn't bring in our purses and this is when we opted to leave. But what is a fair without a famous P.T. Barnum sideshow.

*we already paid $5 for both of us to get into the show.

We ended our visit truimphantly- Shayna climbed to the top of the ladder climb game*, rang the bell, and won a giant stuffed pony (you can see the blue and white pony in the photo below):

*the man running the game said Shayna was only the 2nd one to get to the top today.
