Norway Fair



Our first official day here at school August 1st, Jenn and Jordan took us to the Norway Fair just like they did last year. Mr. and Mrs. Swenson were still here this time, so they came along. But the sad part was that we had to say good bye to them AT the fair! They only stayed for the Demolition Derby. It was a pretty good one - and lots of people were there from our extension church including Dr. Lamansky and his boys, Philip and Drew. Afterwards we walked around to see the booths set up and to pick out what looked like the scariest ride. It was called the bullet and was SOO scary! It swung back and forth like a pendulum and got higher and higher, and then would finally go all the way around and plunge to the ground and then go around again! It really made you want to just get off, but then when it was over, you almost wanted to go again for the excitement (except the line was too long). When we got off we each discovered we still had four tickets to "spend" - so we went on another ride - the spider (or whatever it's called here), which is a little more layed back. So we got a good picture of Jenn and Jordan before it started. It's a whirly twirly ride. Jordan didn't think it was that exciting of a ride, but we girls had a great time! Hee, hee! Thanks for the fun night, you guys! Can't wait till next year!! ;)
