Weekend Happies

{the face of a man who's happy twinkies are back. especially one's that are fried and covered with powdered sugar} 

Happy Monday!

Apparently I took a page out of my own book this weekend because we couldn't have packed more fun into this weekend. We were constantly on the go and had a big break in the hot temperatures (yesterday it got down to 65-70 degrees!), so we were able to spend more time outside and not be completely exhausted after twenty minutes. We even slept with the windows open...July, what is going on? You're confusing me.

Friday: Game night at our house with friends. Cards Against Humanity was a huge hit, just like we expected. Highly recommend this game, friends. Go buy it! At one point tears were definitely rolling down our faces...

 I wore my new T&J Designs necklace (which is only $24! steal) and Target black maxi dress (last year)...

Saturday: My girlfriend Angela and I went to breakfast at Knead (downtown) to cross another spot off our list. Unfortunately, I'm not going to spend much time discussing it because we were pretty disappointed with the experience. We loved that all their food is made from scratch and all local, but it was extremely overpriced, the service was poor, the food was just OK, and we didn't leave full. It was such a bummer! 

 

 {if you do visit Knead-we enjoyed their "hoecakes" (pancakes) so be sure to get one of those!}

Saturday night we went to the Goat for multiple rounds of corn hole and to hang out with friends by the pool. The weather was cool and we loved every minute of it!

Sunday: We spent the day at the Ohio State fair, which is what all the pictures above are from. Billy has never been and I don't remember the last time I've been so we decided to give it a go! There was SO much to do from rides, to craft shows, and most importantly-fried foods for us to conquer. 

Those fried balls up there? FRIED BUCKEYES. I'm not even lying when I say they were possibly the best things I have ever had. If you ever get a chance to have them, just go ahead and order 2 orders of them.

Also, who knew that fairs have a sea lion exhibit? I guess the Ohio State fair does. They even put on a little show for us. 

I also decided that since we were at the fair it was perfectly acceptable to act like a kid again and go to the petting zoo... this is okay still at my age, right? 

I mean, I had to see the zebra!

They let you feed the animals with carrots, but the kid in front of me fed the camel his plastic cup that held the carrots. Let's just say that didn't go over too well when the camel realized the cup was stuck on his mouth and he couldn't get it off... 

The fair is not somewhere I could go all the time (just no...), but we're happy we went at least went and experienced it for a couple hours.

Sunday night was reserved for the best of all...Rocky snuggles.

What did you do this weekend?

Go link up with Sami and share all about it!
