Orem Summerfest!!

Finally, I have something to write about. Emily and I went to the Orem Summerfest, somewhat like a county fair, and we had a blast!! We went on the rides, had ourselves some BBQ, saw a show, bought some things from the booths, had ice cream while watching the parade, and ended with fireworks. We got these really cool Indian sari type things. They are a skirt, shirt, dress and more all in one. I really love them!! I also got myself an Indian style bag that is bright and lots of fun. Emily, on the more daring side, got a fake tattoo. I never have been into that sort of stuff, but, hey, it's fun. The rides were amazing, well, for fair. We went on the Zipper, man I love that ride, and we laughed so hard that I couldn't breath. Then there was this other ride, it looked all casual and easy, but when you get on the centripical force pushing on you really hurts and makes you sick. We both felt a little queasy, and some other guy actually did get sick. It was disgusting!! My advice, never eat before getting on rides. We we hastily left that one to ride a sling shot one and basically I was crushing Emily and I couldn't stop myself because it was forcing me. In the end, it was fun!! Then we watched a little of the local talent, some kids dancing and singing to High School Musical, wow that brought me back. Then we decided to go to the local grocery store to get some Drumsticks to watch the parade. You know, I have never seen floats like that, not in person, only on TV. I wonder how they do it...? But after that it was time for the fireworks. I LOVE fireworks!!! It just reminds me of summers with the family. Overall, we had a blast that day!!! And now we are needy for this Saturday's the Pleasant Grove Strawberry Days. Fresh strawberries.....hmmmm!!
