Life's Adventures: State Fair 2010: Day 2

I went to State Fair again today.

This adventure was a little more *intense* than the first day.

For instance, there was a deal where, with a Goodwill receipt, if you bought a ticket between 8am-2pm, you could get "buy one, get one free" admission. So, instead of paying $9 each, you get two for that price...a great deal! So, my friend Rosie came over at about 1:40pm and we rushed over to State Fair. We found a parking spot at 1:52 and then ran down the street to get in by 2pm.

It was hard to figure out when the block we parked on would cut to the street State Fair was on, so Rosie and I started looking for a sidewalk or backyard to run through. Rosie found a perfect place to cut through- a sidewalk going past a house towards an alley that then cut to the State Fair street. Perfect! So, we keep running. And then the guy living at the house we cut next to started yelling "Hey girls, stop, come back here!". So, being naive, I stopped running and shouted back asking what he wanted. "You can't just run through someone's yard!!". I answered back, "Sorry sir, we're on a deadline". He shouted "Sorry doesn't cut it". And I shouted sorry again while Rosie and I ran away.

He didn't follow us, but it did catch me off guard.

Firstly, we were running on a sidewalk towards the alley, not on his grass.

Secondly, he was letting people park cars on his lawn, so it's not like he was super anal about his yard anyways.

Thirdly, there was no gate or entrance we had to go through-it was just a thorough-way.

We did make it to the ticket booth on time and got our 1/2 price tickets.

These are some pictures from the afternoon at the fair.
