Karen had this crazy idea the other day that she wanted to go to the Puyallup fair. I had never been before so I thought it would be fun. Except for the fact that it was raining. But that didn’t seem to affect Karen’s need to go to the fair. After all she has lived in Seattle long enough not to be put off by some drizzle.
So we got there after I got off work and amazingly enough it wasn’t that crowded. We were planning to see the free Jars of Clay concert, but we had some time to kill before the show. So we decided to go on a flying swing ride.
I took the picture above just before we got on. As we were getting on, I realized we had to put away the umbrellas. Knowing that I am strongly affected by Murphy’s Law, I forsaw the whole event before it even happened. Just as the swing was about to start (we were already strapped in) it started POURING. And sure enough they started the ride and we got slung around in a blinding, cold rain. Now I know what it feels like to be inside a washing machine on the spin cycle.
Fortunately we laughed it off, went and got a cheeseburger and some scones and then enjoyed the concert. Overall it was quite an adventurous evening.
