We finally made it to the OC Fair last night for the bull riding.
I found out a bit about John. He loves to feed goats. We fed goats for a good 45 minutes. And then we had to eat our cinnamon roll with the goats so he could watch them. Oh, my cute hick-at-heart! Few of you know that he was raised on a ranch on California's central coast. I think he felt right at home...
I do not handle carney rides well. I've known it since I was a little girl. I'm just sensitive like that. I rode two rides. The first one was pretty fun and scared the crap out of me. John didn't tell me until later that night that my face went pale after the first ride. But, it was the second ride that did me in. Because John is so much bigger than me, the lap bar stopped about 6 inches above my lap. I was totally thrown around. All I could do was close my eyes and say, "Make it stop, make it stop!" If I was pale before the second ride, I was translucent afterwards.
I didn't ride this one... "evolution".
Something about falling asleep smelling like an open fire and feeling queezy kind of trumped the joy of eating grilled corn-on-the-cob and getting my face painted (didn't really do that part).

i love rodeos. I love rides. I think they are great. However, I would be like John and going solo since Brent can't go on them either!
Looks like you are having a lot of fun!!
ooooh...you come by that trait honestly. I got so sick on a ride at Lagoon when I was 8 that my Mom made them stop it for me. I was slinking down into the bottom of the car; so green that the ride operator broke the rules and let me off early. . .
But I am glad you got to feed the goats! You loved that too when you were four and we went to San Diego Wild Animal Park. . . they tried to eat your shirt off of you....!
