Smells like cigarettes, cotton candy, and nostalgia...

    Yesterday we took our littles to the Madison County Fair.  They had a blast.  It totally took me back to my own childhood...the sounds, the smells, the hot summer air.  Everything.  It all seemed about the same, and honestly the rides were probably the exact same rides I enjoyed twenty years ago, rust and all.  Tetanus shot anyone?
    I loved watching my kiddos excitedly running from ride to ride, and the looks on their faces as they went round and round!  Oh, the faces they made!
    There is just something oddly beautiful about old carnival rides.  Maybe I'm just a sucker for colored lights and peeling paint, but I thoroughly enjoyed the night and am excited to see what next year brings.
