Today we went to the Unterländer Volksfest. It was a fair with rides and food. It was a bit overcast with a drizzle now and then, but I actually prefer that than a hot sunny day because those rides are a little too much when your belly is full of grease and it's hotter than daylight. The difference to fairs that I've been to in the states is that you buy tokens per ride, you don't have to buy a book of tickets where you always end up with two left and have no where to use them unless you buy more tickets.
It wasn't very big so we circled it quite a few times. Skylar's favorite ride was the bumber cars, so we rode them over and over again. It only cost per car, not per passenger, so Skylar whipped the car around while I sat in the passenger seat. Definitely great fun. I thought the paintings on the wall were a bit strange. I mean, I know bumber cars has racy art sometimes, but she isn't even wearing underwear... this is still a kids ride, right?
We also went on the flying chair swing things and the river boat ride. We went in the funny house and the haunted tour, which may have been scarier if we knew what they were saying, but oh well. Skylar did that bouncing trampoline thing that he loves so much. Of course we ate crepes and those fried dough things (Langos are what they are called here). We went on spinny rides and got candy too. It was a great day to be a kid.
