When she got here, we rode on a really cool roller coaster and right when we sat down, Sina noticed that there was German writing in the cars! She thought that was great. Then, we went to go get some food. She had fries with ketchup and mayonaise (she asked if that was what "you people" did) and asked if she could just pick it up with her fingers. Sarah, Ava and I split a funnel cake!
After that, it was time to ride the ferris wheel. We got many great pictures and got to sit in a purple car. Go Frogs. Then, we went to a Greenhouse (because Ava's an Environmental Science major) and there was a scary guy on stilts dressed like a tree with emeralds for his eyes! Sina and Ava took a picture with him, but I was too creeped out.
We went on a few more rides-one called the Crazy Mouse was extremely rickety, but fun-and after that, it was time to use up the rest of our tickets. Ava and I bought cotton candy, while Sina bought Fat-free Hershey's Chocolate Ice Cream and fried oreos. She was way more adventurous than me! We asked a kind lady in front of Big Tex to take a picture of us, and then we said goodbye.
It was a really wonderful experience to get to hang out with Sina outside of the school enviornment!

Hi Rebecca, Great post. Sounds like an enjoyable time. Thanks for all your good posts. dw
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love how you went to the state fair with Sina, and it sounds like you had a really good experience. I especially enjoyed the part where Sina asked if that was what "you people" did, and how she asked if it is ok if she could pick it up with her fingers. It just shows how cultures vary so much even in the small aspects of everyday life.
