peach festival and more

so yeah i went to the peach festival in lewiston on saturday night. the peach pop was great as usual and the peach shortcake tasted different (it wasn't as sweet), but it was still good.

the whole park was still all muddy and smelled like dead fish, especially around the rides, since we had all of that flooding last thursday and that is when the carnies pulled in to set up the rides. they put down cedar chips to cut down on the smell and muddiness, but it was still a bit spongey in spots. by far the best ride this year (like it is every year) was the zipper. it rocks! the fireball was also there, but it should be called the claw since the whole thing looks like a giant claw...haha. after we were strapped into the fireball my brother noticed that one of the hydrolic bars wasn't connected...but we survived so i guess that part wasn't crucial. we also went on the tilt-a-whirl, which was good too.

the haunted house proved to be dangerous when my brother's friend kristen got scared and forgot that i was right behind her. she plowed right into me which tackled me down and then she fell on top of me...haha...then as i was getting up someone hit me in the nose. i never did like haunted houses.

but overall peach fest 2004 was an even to remember. i saw and talked to some people i know, hung out with my parents, my brother and his friends, went on rides, got hurt and ate and imbibed some traditional fare.

then today after dropping my brother off at canisius, i went to visit maureen (moe) who i used to live in kenmore. she recently sold her house and is moving to las vegas in november and already bought a house there. its a really nice house too, she showed me some pictures. her daughter kiera was also there so i got to visit with her too which was kewl. moe's dog, duke, the blind boston terrier is already in vegas living with her son, trey so i didn't get to see him, that was sad. i'm happy for moe, but i am sad too b/c i probably will never see her again after she moves. but who knows, maybe i'll visit vegas and stay with her. i'm glad that i visited though, i always had a good feeling living there and whenever i was there. i'll never forget my time there, moe, kiera or duke.

after moe's house i went to my cousin hub's house for his son ryan's 1st birthday. i actually got to go swimming...and on sept 12th! go figure.

weight watchers meeting tomorrow with the big weigh in...eeek! i hope i didn't gain!
