The 50th State Fair

Dear reader, if you are thinking that we went to the 50th occurrence of the state fair in Hawaii, you would be mistaken. I thought that was the case last year, then found that it's called the 50th state fair this year as well. I guess it's so named because we are the 50th state.

Anyways, we went to the fair today. We burned through all of our money before we had spent two hours there, but X had such a blast we didn't care. He experienced the absolute euphoria of a small child riding fair rides. I wonder if so many of us do crazy things in young adulthood because we are chasing that pure joy that only children feel.

Cars!

Helicopter! He got the Marine Corps one.

He wasn't interested in the mirrors. He just wanted to get to the slide.

Airplane!

What?! It's over??

Very tired.

He's not sure about the ferris wheel.

Okay, now he can see the excavators in the adjacent lot.
