The previously cancelled Michigan state fair was resurrected by Fifth Third bank this year at the Novi Expo center. This resulted in shrinking it to 1/3 the size and adding a carnival (which worked out well for Lila). This also meant the animals were in an enclosed, air conditioned area instead of being outside. While the cool air was nice, the concentrated animal stink was a bit overwhelming. Lila, fresh off her pot smoke exposure was ready with her nose holding "pee ew" face and utilized it frequently. The carnival had the expected rides, about 1/3 of which Lila was tall enough to ride. I'm fairly certain the "roller coaster" and swings may have permanently traumatized her, but she's good at burying her pain and made it look like she brushed it off. I'm sure I'll be paying for both rides well into her adult years with therapy.
