Took a trip to downtown Phoenix today for the State Fair. My first rock concert when I was about 14 was in the Memorial Colliseum in the background.
Lesa and Shaw on a superman type ride where you lay out flat and stretch your arms out in ftont of you.
The Tilt-a-Whirl- it's a classic!
I didn't go on any of the rides and I still looked horrible, but in my defense, we were experiencing a wind and dust storm this evening.
Lesa and Shaw going up the Super Slide... a couple of chickens coming down...
Lesa in lane 3 off to a good start.
She wins by a length! Here's the pic to prove it. Shaw was still talking smack about everything under the sun except the fact that he lost.
Monster Truck show at the Grand Stands- this truck was spinning like a top. Shaw and I have been to a couple of Monster Truck shows over the years. I almost forget every time how incredibly loud those engines are.
The travelling truck show operators bought a couple of old RVs and a bread delivery truck from a local auto parts recycler/junk yard and had a demolition derby that was crazy awesome!
Here's the proof that it was, in fact, crazy-awesome...
Some poor sap won this and had to carry it around the rest of the day.
Shaw looking cool and all grown up.
Lesa just looking cool.
Strolling performer doing a tight rope act with flaming torches.
And lastly, here's a video of professor Shaw explaining the physics involved in the operation of the various rides at the fair.
