Party People

This weekend was packed with birthday celebrations for two of my favorite people! Jessica's birthday was last Monday, and Melissa's is today! Saturday we had people over to watch the Alabama game (Melissa's team...no I haven't converted yet...considering it) and then we went to Shout to dance. Here's the two birthday girls Saturday night!

Friday night we had a group go to the North GA State Fair! Quite the experience. We started small with the farm animals, turkey legs, and ferris wheel. I worked up to the Cyclops. And the reason we have no pics of the Cyclops...I rode it alone. My group claimed they all have "weak stomachs"....an excuse for frightened souls if you ask me. But I had to get my adrenaline rush in, even if that meant a solo fair ride.

The classic fair pic. No idea about the faces. 

Melissa opens her eyes for the first time. 

Not afraid to admit they were scared on the ferris wheel! Definitely higher than I expected!

And doesn't Josh remind you of Noah in the ferris wheel scene from the Notebook? Except that he wasn't exactly hanging from the beams...

The highlight of the night was the gang fight that started right next to us and sent Carlyn spinning with her curly fries and coke in hand.  We saw some punches thrown but the group quickly started moving. Kinda reminded me of the high school fights in the parking lots after school. Memories.

I absolutely loved the fair! Ready to hit the big Perry fair next! And for all my new blogger accountability partners...no, I was not thinking about this blog post the whole time I was at the fair! I was soaking up the experience! And purposefully didn't take my good camera! Baby steps.
