Last Friday was my day off. As we do every other Friday, we took SuperPizzaBoy to school, slowed down a bit and rolled him out. See Ya Son!! I really need to show a video of his tuck and roll, that boy learns quick. Sweetie and I went to breakfast and then it was off to the Tulsa State Fair<\/span><\/b><\/a>.<\/p>\n

We rolled first into the arts and crafts building. Lots of good stuff there including lots of Legos, and screaming kids.

How about some duct tape roses? So romantic, and practical!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_6875\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And some amazing pumpkins. I loved this strawberry pumpkin.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_6876\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And the world’s ugliest pumpkin. Really people.

And a pheasant pumpkin.<\/p>\n

And a Pistol Pete Pumpkin. For you non-Okies Pistol Pete is the mascot for Okahoma State University. That’s where all the Ag Majors and Engineers in Oklahoma go. ( I went to the University of New Mexico, aka Harvard on the Rio Grande or MIT on the Mesa) Unfortunately, the football players in Oklahoma go to the University of Oklahoma .  They don’t make pumpkins at OU, they make national championships. That’s why Pistol Pete is frowning. He knows a lost cause when he sees it. Sorry, I usually gig OU pretty hard so I’m  giving OSU some Yogi love.

And, look geocaches on display at the State Fair. Wow, we now have the same status as pumpkins, wow?<\/p>\n

I love the livestock barns, Sweetie not so much. So I only got a few pics. These young people spend a lot of time working with their animals. I think it’s very cool.  The only thing is…… well, don’t spend too much time worrying about the future of this animal. Especially while enjoying a steak.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_6893\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I like the old farm machinery. They got those old machines all polished up.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_6895\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The butterfly exhibit is a big hit. You pay a little extra to get in but it is very cool. Just don’t…. yeah just don’t start wondering what happens to the butterflies after the exhibit. And if you do wonder, don’t ask the people who work there what is going to happen to them. Lets just say, I applaud them for telling the truth. I’ll also say that if they have the money to go to Asia and Central America to get these critters then they got enough money to take the little dudes home. Last year the Tulsa Zoo came out and got them. They don’t do that every year.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_6907\"<\/a><\/p>\n

What about the Fair Food!!! Well what about it, anybody who knows me knows that I love to eat and that I’ve missed very few meals. Fair food though? Yuck. Does the booth below look like it has anything appetizing?<\/p>\n

\"IMG_6915\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Not for us, we went to a place Sweetie has kept hidden from me. The Ripe Tomato inside The Market<\/span><\/b><\/a> in south Tulsa.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_6916\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Oh yeah, put this up against your corn dogs, turkey legs, deep fried snicker bars and other such stuff.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_6278\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It was darn good is what I have to say. And I didn’t share, willingly.<\/p>\n
