Well I’ve been tired and slacking on my blogging! Sorry for not staying super updated
lately! That being said, we left the
fair in Othello, WA and drove home! A
good long twenty something hour drive!
It was long, yet short. Joe and I
were really excited to be home and see family and friends. I got a week off before our next fair. My dad was able to schedule a fair in the
week I was home. It was in Pahrump,
NV. I have family there, my Aunt Jeannette
and Uncle Lee, and my cousins Makayla and Caleb. It was so great to see them! Caleb helped us work too! He’s in fifth grade! Crazy!
We had both the wall and the bubbles at this fair and it did great! The people there really enjoyed it. My dad enjoyed working it as well. He misses it.
Anyway, so after that fair my dad took a second set of bubbles to Las
Cruces, NM and I took the other set and went to Waco, TX. Ridiculous, because the Las Cruces changed
their fair dates during the middle of the summer and I didn’t realize that so
the TX and NM fair were schedule at the same time. It was a stress, but my dad and I handled it
and everything went great. Dad said the
NM was a little slow, but again he missed it and enjoyed working. I went to TX and it was alright. Sorry to those who love Texas, but I do not
enjoy Texas. The weather was terrible
all ten days we were there. It was
stormy, rainy, windy, humid, hot, up and down left and right, all over!! It wasn’t fun. We had half the tent rip off the frame and
then it started raining. We were so cold
we bought a little heater at walmart to stay warm. It was just nuts.
There were positives here too. I took Branson Anderson with me. He did a great job! And the fair doesn’t start til the evening,
like four, five or six. So we have time
to do whatever we like! We were able to
see four movies while being there! We
saw Looper, Taken 2, Trouble with a Curve, and Hotel Translyvania. They were all pretty good. Trouble and Hotel
were probably my favorites! We laughed
really hard in Hotel, good kid movie, but also scary at some parts. We also did some shopping, well I did some
shopping. Branson just hung out! Haha, it was fun. We would get pretzels at the mall too! Best part!
We went to the gym too! I also enjoyed building relationships with the
staff there and the other vendors. I
have a lot of learning experiences while being on the road. I feel like I’ve really matured and became a
better person because of it. I can tell
you that I have a fair amount of patience now!
The drive home went by pretty fast.
Branson slept most of the way. I
drove the whole way, which was about 22 hrs. I had to pull over at one point to
sleep for ten minutes to recuperate.
Oh,
funny story! So, we took down Saturday night
after the fair was over. There was a
major storm coming and I didn’t want the tent ruined so we hustled and took
everything down. Well, I forgot to buy a
squeegee thing for the pool to suck the water out and make it clean. So the pool was pretty much empty, some water
and dirt. I told Branson to watch it so
it didn’t blow away or anything while I ran to the store to buy a
squeegee. When I came back the pool was
completely flipped over!! Branson says, “I’m
sorry Blythe, you told me to do one thing and I couldn’t do it.” I was laughing so hard. He then said, “I did what you asked. I started to suck up the rest of the water
and a gust of wind came and picked the pool up, while I was in it, and it
flipped on top of me. I had to crawl out
of the pool. It was so scary! Like a giant blue mousetrap snapping down on
me! I thought I was dead!” Ohhh, I laughed so hard!! I could only picture him trying to run away
but having nowhere to go! Hilarious!!
Hopefully you can all imagine this.
Anyways, it was a good trip. I am
now in Ridgecrest, CA. This is a decent
fair. I have some time to hang out and
have fun. From my facebook post the
other day I posted a quote from a movie Pitch Perfect. The boy says, “I think I have the feeling we
should kiss.” The girl says, “Well, I sometimes think I have the feeling of
doing crystal meth, but then I think, hmmmm…better not.” Oh man, funny movie! So that’s what I’ve done so far in
Ridgecrest, CA! Watched Pitch Perfect,
twice. Haha! It makes me happy and smile! Well wish me luck! Last fair of the season! Very exciting! Then more time with family!! I love them! Have a great weekend everybody!
