Fair time

[glacier_kitty]

Today I went to the State Fair with mom and her friend Laurie. It started off hot and sunny but there were storm clouds all around us getting closer. We of course had yummy unhealthy fair food (loaded baked potatoes and Dippin' Dots mmmmm) and visited the animals (Laurie really liked the goats). As we were walking to one barn I felt a couple raindrops and it looked like it was gonna pour..like 5 seconds after we got inside it indeed started pouring. It didn't look like it was gonna stop, so we ran to another booth and just stayed there for awhile. I can't believe they kept the rides going since there was lightning..so unsafe!! We finally just decided to go somewhere else and suddenly this big bolt of lightning hit really close to us!! The thunder was super loud! That was scary..I hadn't heard thunder like that up here before. D: We finally decided just to leave..we'd had enough of the rain. I really wanted to visit the petting zoo, but the rain messed that up..boo. Oh welll..I'll try again next year. :P I don't think the storms are over yet..I heard thunder a few minutes ago and the forecast says storms will be in the area around 7 PM. Crazy..


I've never really seen it

Wow, you're not kidding when it comes to the state fair and rain! That really does sound super unsafe to keep the rides going while there's lightning haha wow - I'm glad nothing unfortunate happened in that regard, especially with that one huge lightning strike! Eek!! After hearing about those people getting struck by lightning in Venice Beach, that thought just totally freaks me out lol. I hope you guys get nice weather next time, and that you're able to visit the petting zoo!
