Funfair

This morning, went church and we did not have our usual sunday school session as the leader could not make it. So, instead, we went for 9am service in church. It was a great service as pastor talked about scars-physical and emotional. I was sure the message spoke to some people...

Anyway, after service, we went to "El Chico" for lunch. It is a mexican restaurant and I know that mexican food is very filling. So, I suggested ordering only 2 mains and 1 appetiser. When the food came out, the appetizer was so much that in the end, we left the restaurant feeling so full and had to take away food. I enjoyed what CT and I ordered- a mexican grill that came in a hotplate with chicken, prawns, beef fried with onions and green bell peppers. Very tasty.

We went home after that to change out of our Sunday church wear and drove to Pensacola, Florida. We were heading to the funfair..as today is the last day of the fair. It was an hour drive and when we reached, we saw a fair parking lot...went in and had to pay 4 bucks for the parking. (1st time, i had to pay for parking here in US). The problem was that from the parking lot, we had to walk a distance to the fair grounds. Kena cheated as the fair had their own parking as well and it was the same price. It is just that we saw this signboard first, so we turned in and parked already. Oh well..

There were so many rides in the fair...all look so thrilling. But in the end, we sat none cos had to pay a lot for the rides. Instead, we played a couple of amusement games to win soft toys. CT won for me and Esther 3 soft toy flowers. I love it. It is a huge fair with many stores selling food as well. Paid $4 for admission (usual price was $9)- think maybe cos it was the last day.

There was also a farm area with animals. I spotted this interesting chicken like animal but so fur-ry. Check it out and be amazed!

I love animals..so this was a great place for me in the fair. We also went to this place where they featured brown bears from the movie," Brother Bear".

Very cute and cuddly bears...




Another interesting part of the fair is the food. I spotted a stall selling "alligator on a stick". How can I miss such opportunity to eat this kind of food right? So, I ate and CT thinks the part we were eating was the alligator's tail. Haha..yeah, it was long and slightly fatty in the meat. Hmm...

The last part of the fair, we went to a circus tent place where there were more animals. There were 2 giraffes inside and we stood so near it. Huge...

After the fair, we left at about 5pm and the sun was setting already. We quickly drove to the this fishing area at the side of the bridge and stopped there to take pictures. It was a nice view. There was actually a long bridge that would lead to the real beach area, but we thought if we drove across it, by the time we reached, it would be dark already. So, we stayed at the start of the bridge and took some great shots!! There were ducks and people fishing. Very cool.

We reached home at only about 7 plus and it felt like 9 plus pm. Heated up all our leftovers from last night and today's lunch as well as I cooked 2 packets of "No MSG" Koka noodles for dinner tonight. Glad we finally finished our leftovers.
