Seriously, I freakin' love going to the fair every year. It's been our tradition for the last 6 or 7 years to go to the fair with our 6 good friends. We have such a blast gorging ourselves with fried fantastic food, going on "vomit rides", buying tons of stuff we don't need in the Halls of Crap and checking out all the animals. I seriously love this tradition, its such a perfect summertime event with our buddies. I give Rob a lot of credit this year, we were there for about 11 hours in the hot sun and he hobbled along like a trooper (El Tigre style) with his injured knee.
Of course it's pretty much an official rule that you have to eat some artery-clogging food at the fair, and we definitely did that. Here's the girls chowing on some frozen bananas:
Here's us racing on the slides - Marley totally kicked our butts although Sean won the first go-around. Notice how I'm cheating by trying to slow Dave down. Hysterical.
So, in the Halls of Crap this year were these hysterical "exercise" machines that you're supposed to stand on, essentially get Shaken Baby Syndrome and then voila: you'll be magically skinny. Marley and I tried it out and it was so freakin' funny. I wasn't really aware that I was screaming like a Banshee the whole time, so excuse the glass-breaking high pitch that follows:
David and Mary came a little later, so I don't have any pics of them except at the Demolition Derby (which, incidentally, might just be my very favorite thing at the fair - I freakin' love it!). David took some pics, though, so I'll be sure to post those when I get them.
Here's some more pics in a slideshow...please to enjoy:

You and your friends have way too much fun! Seriously. Please stop. Do some boring things to make the rest of us feel "hip". :-)
I will admit that I cheated the first time around by lying down. That got way too scary about halfway down though when I started catching air. Also, notice in the industrial strength vibrator video when Rob says, "Good Lord, man, I thought you were stuffed!" That's the point when Dave walked up with about 10,000,000 calories worth of funnel cake.
