We Flung.

Angel and I on the first night of the fling

A few weeks ago the Last Fling came to our backyard. Angel and I both agreed we never want to eat fried food again. It was so tempting to just walk down to the riverwalk to grab a corn dog or a funnel cake.

three highlights of the last fling for me.....

1. Petting Zoo
2. Angel in an apple pie eating contest.
3. Shaved Ice

1. Petting Zoo

Tiny cow that was so friendly

Do you see the pig? I've always wanted one of those for a pet.

 I loved the petting zoo until Angel pointed out the trailer on the side of it, and I realized that these animals live in such a small space. That made me so sad.

2. Pie Eating contest.

I somehow convinced Angel to compete in an apple pie eating contest. He didn't win but came close. I can't believe he ate the whole pie! We looked at the pie package afterward and the pie was over 6,000 calories! Good thing he's so skinny.

 3. Shaved Ice

It's no secret that shaved ice is my favorite food (well at least tied with guacamole for my favorite food). I'm very picky about my shaved ice. There is a huge different between shaved ice, snow cones, and slushies ( I won't bore you with the differences but if you want to know just ask! I'm an expert). Shaved ice is definitely my fav. A few years ago at the Taste of Cleveland I used almost all my tickets on shaved ice alone, so when I say I'm obsessed believe it. Anyway I was ecstaticThe to discover that the last fling had a shaved ice stand complete with it's own flavor station so you could try as many flavors as you wanted! The downside was it was a little chilly out for shaved ice, but that didn't stop me from getting two!
