Sunshine wanted to go to the fair a special fair at the big island that wasn't an island but was when two old white dudes and an Indian chick discovered it..or so they say and who am I to question history. .Being it was a trip the had to get Mr. and Miss. Sunshines approval they did but the Monkey will always remember the look..Dads have it..Monkey Man didn't have a problem his family could always use a break from him..
So early Saturday morning they packed the Pinto. .and headed north..Monkey Man had never been to another state or a fair. .Sunshine was telling him of all the foods and the rides..the Monkey was getting excited that cotton candy stuff sounds so good..as the got off at exit 317 he could smell fun in the air. .Sunshine had a smile from ear to ear..they pulled into the parking lot..Monkey Man in awe of the smells of food cooking and the noise of the crowds. .the music playing. .the hit the gate..
First thing Sunshine saw just inside gate was funnel cakes..now Monkey Man had never experienced this delight. .they ate one..then another..as Monkey Man went back for a third Sunshine grab his arm..look over there its the Turkey legs..she grabs MM by the arm and off they go..Now 3 funnel cakes were settling in comfy..they grabbed a leg and headed down the midway..
Having never seen Sunshine dart and dodge through a crowd at the speed of sound was amazing unless you were trying to keep up..Monkey Mans first taste of cotton candy was had at break neck speed as a little boy stuck it in his face as he raced past..pulling the blue sticky stuff off as he ran to catch up..Sunshine slammed on the brakes..Monkey Man some how got stopped..As Sunshine. ..smile as big as a as half a watermelon slice was pointing. .Bumper cars..we need tickets as she looked at Monkey Man and began to laugh..face still thick with cotton candy she wiped him clean and went to get some tickets..
Monkey Man stood in awe..having never driven this would be the perfect place to learn..as Sunshine comes racing back...at 100 MPH as they get in line she's explaining how it works..don't go backwards. .watch your back..try to smack adults and avoid little kids but if a kid hits you they are fair game..and don't get in my way or I will put your Monkey ass in the wall..He loved her her slightly competitive side..they were racing for the cars. .Sunshine the red one and Monkey Man went green...at the sound of the buzzer Sunshine was flying out into the lead...Monkey Man was going backwards. .I think in her excitement she left something out..just before plowing the wall he cranks the wheel..ah..forward..maybe she did it on porpoises. ..cute little things..he was off to get her..as she was plowing through anything and everything in her path..Just as the buzzer rings and the cars slow to a stop..
They cruise the midway..and Monkey Man catches a whiff of something. .sure doesn't smell like the goodies in the food booths.Sunshine explains that the livestock barn..we can skip that..they ride the Hammer and the Tilt-O- whirrle. .went in the fun house where arm in arm they checked themselves out in the funny mirrors..Monkey Man did a little dance in the long mirrors..laughing the they headed to the stage..Sunshine wanted to see Tanya Tucker..as the crowd gathered and the lights grew low the young star took the stage..Delta Dawn..A song Monkey Man will Now always fondly remember two compadres by..she should have sang it three more times..
Now most young couples would ride the Farris Wheel as the end to a wonderful day shared together..not these two..one last go at the bumper cars..as they grab there cars..that look they have shared so me times was cast between them..I'm gonna kick your ass this time as the buzzer rang..Monkey Man caught her with a left spin and reverse off the line. .grab the lead..Sunshine quick to recover was hot on his tail..just as he looked back he sees her take out a 5 year old..whoops the rules are out the window..they race..dodge they wipe out everything in there path..Just as the buzzer goes off Sunshine did it...put them in the corner. .the laughter. .the joy and smiles as they arm in arm head to the Pinto..fingers crossed it would start to put yet one more adventure behind them..love ya..hugs and high 5's...
