Cake Decorating and County Fair

September 17, 2010

Beverly showed me some more cake decorating tips and techniques today.

stars, lines, zigzags:

writing:

shells:

leaves, vines, star flowers, twisted flowers:

sweet peas (which weren't so attractive), rosebuds (which were):

chrysanthemums, and the beginning of roses:

We also did clowns, as you can see, and it is super easy to make them!

At night we went to the Garland County Fair with Erin and Josh, and, oh, boy, was the demolition derby fun! Josh was nice to treat us. We found the second heat the most interesting when a station wagon got stuck on top of another car, one flipped, and several were smoking.

But you certainly saw some interesting people there...

We also enjoyed cotton candy and corn dogs and dill pickles, and we looked at the lights and animals. Carnival food is the best! I can't wait until the State Fair so we can see the bunnies this time. :)

Zach and I joined Brian, Whitney, and Nathan for happy hour at Senor Tequila's. I love happy hour! When else can you get huge beers for so little?!

Then we headed to the Travs game, where Jeff joined us.

I hadn't been to the new Dickey-Stephens Park, and I hadn't been to a Travs game since high school. *lol* We ran into several people we knew including Emily Adams, Melinda, and Therese. It was a fun night. (I can't say some of us paid much attention to the game.) :)

I got some yummy cotton candy I polished off in under five minutes easily. Zach and I also shared a corn dog, but the last bite, which was destined for me, fell from the stick. :(

This game went on FOREVER. As you can see, the Travs and the Tulsa Drillers were tied at this point, entering into the 10th inning. It went on for TWO MORE! I really thought it would never end. *lol* We didn't get home until 12:15, and the game started at 7:10. I wanted something to happen to end, but I still wanted the Travs to win:

"Let me root, root, root for the home team,
If they don't win, it's a shame..."

It was a shame, indeed.
