Simpler Things
Tuesday, August 9th, 2011 | 54 Comments 
I’ve been up since 4:00 this morning. Accidentally. 
Second day in a row actually. 
Getting back to work on Monday after a mini-vacation was both a blessing & curse. I had managed to actually forget about work, politics, stresses, and calories while away this weekend. 
It was desperately needed 
A 96ft “Giant Slide” at Mammoth Park.
Mike’s standing at the bottom. perspective~
I was pretty sure I’d die riding it, but alas, I survived. .. TWICE.
The local County Fair
I need to get back into the swing of blogging, it’s a good distraction 
But my thumb is hurt too so typing sucks both on keyboard & iPhone so might be a slow start. 
But yeah. I took a mini-vacation to relieve stress but now I feel like I came back to more than before. Hmmm~~ I need to work harder at relaxing under so much pressure until it passes 
Realizing that in & of itself helps!

hurray for mini*vacations!
*high fives you
OMGGG *——-*
Soo cool
so beautiful
Awe thank you. I thought so too, it was a quiet & beautiful city
cool slide!!! how was it? i always end up wearing a dress or skirt when there are slides around. awkward…
YESSSSSS! I kept having to remind myself to NOT wear a dress this day because Mike said he was going to show me this slide!! It was freakin fast and I kept rising up on the declines/curves so I was sore the next day. My moccasins kept trying to grip as I went down too. I thought I’d break my leg eventually.
The pictures turned out really pretty! It makes me want to go to the fair , but the SD county one went away last month ;_;
Anyways, that slide looks so fun *__*
Yeah my local fair charges like $25 to get in PLUS more money to park so it’s kinda a ripoff. This fair only charged $8 and free parking and it was way better!
wow i’ve never seen a slide that big! looks so fun >.
I hadn’t either excluding water slides!
The first week after vacation is always the worst. And I swear, it gets worse the older I get or the more I come to dislike my job.
Good luck getting back into the swing of things ^^
Preaching to the choir!!!! *agrees with every single word =_=;;
Take care, Jenny bb ♥ We all miss(ed) you but it’s important to take time away for yourself too~
Looks like it was a lovely weekend nonetheless
Yeah I still feel sorta… Distracted? Like disconnected from my online life at the moment :(
I think weekends should be at least 3 days instead of 2. 2 days is not long enough to “unhook” from the stress some jobs put on our shoulders.
The fair looks like it was fun! I love the way your pictures turned out~
Totally agree!!! Or AT LEAST more paid holidays off :3
I wanna go on the slide! Seems you had so much fun!! WEEEEE
Twas, twas!!! ( ´艸`)ﾑﾌﾟﾌﾟ
That slide; I want to ride it so badly.
It’s quite the experience ヾ(*´∀`)ﾉ
That slide looks AWESOME! Omg, I want to ride that too~
It’s easy to imagine why it was actually quite busy at this little park
Homg. Speaking of fairs, there’s one near me and it’s going to close soon. The things that get me away from places that I want to go to T___T darn you school *waves fists*
They come & go in the blink of an eye! I felt lucky we were visiting just in time to catch this one! It was close that weekend (笑▽笑)
Why do you worry about calories?? DX But anyhow I think getting away, especially from blogging, is really important for the mind! The photos you took are so cute!
For the same reason anyone should! Healthy body healthy life! (*ゝ∀･)ﾉﾉｧﾊﾊﾊw
Holy Toledo! I hope you’re feeling a bunch better. Gosh I’ve always been afraid of getting on this like that big slide. I’ve always got in the back of my mind that there’s gonna be a big freak accident, the day I ride it is the day the freak accident occurs and I am the victim of said freak accident -_-;;
Heeeeey that’s the reason I don’t ride amusement park rides! Lol. Yeah on this slide you sorta feel like a risk taker but everything ended well thankfully xD
I have the same moccasins as you~!
The one in the first picture~! lol~ =D
And I love the county fair pictures,
it looks just so whimsical,
and seems like it would be lovely for a fashion shoot too~!
Wow, that slide… Is awesome! =O
You’re so brave for going twice!
I’d be a little afraid because there wouldn’t be any
emergency brake option..! haha… =o=;;;
But if it’s free… *jumps onto slide*! ^^b
Hooray for Minnetonka!!!
Yeah the fair was really full of beautiful sights, great for outfit snaps and more. I was taking a bit of a break from taking photos this vacation so I came home with very few~~
Oh yes this slide is quite free! It’s in a National Park so now cost
YES! You must relax more!
You’re too helpful and efficient for your own good ^^
LOOOOOOOOOOL that’s really sweet to say & probably true though I don’t feel like I can ever do enough, you know? I hate when I can’t help people x(
omg you saint >
OH NOOOOOOOO IT CUT OFF! I meant to say that YOU ARE MR INCREDIBLE!! BUT YOU’RE CUTER AND SUPER SKINNY AND SUPER TINY WAHAHAHAHHAA!!
Nice one! I love it
)
I hope my comment appear this time..
IT DID! Hello dear
The slide looks like so much fun! Almost 100 feet!! I loved those slides where you use potato sacks to slide on
Oh man, I’m suddenly transported back to my childhood. ^^
Ah, mini-vacations.. I need to take more of those, too. Coming back to more stress after taking one sucks - I know the feeling! I take 3 days off here and there from work and even then I have this gnawing feeling I have to keep checking my work.
It takes physically cutting myself off from the very things that cause it - usually the computer, email, phone, etc - to finally be able to relax and forget. I hope you feel better soon.
YES! People were using wax paper! I used my oversized denim shirt to ride it down
I totally know what you mean about vacation+work. I feel so much the same! I took a break from nearly everything while away. I have to do that “cut off” thing too.
Lovely pictures^^ The slide seems to be so scary haha. I doubt I would dare to ride it xD
It was QUITE intimidating!
Such beautiful pictures! ♥ That slide is so high :o I think would be a bit scared to ride it but at the same time it looks so fun!
Exactly! I was a little nervous both trips down x_x;;;
Amen to that, I think I need a vacation.
I need another… VACATION 24/7 LOL
your local fair looks fun!
hum….Candie apples too! =) great for a vacation!
Awe thanks! Though sadly this isn’t mine, it’s in a town 4 hours away ;___;
all the picture are really amazing. Btw, are you using your golden half ??
For these photos? No, just my iPhone
I can’t keep myself from saying that your pictures are so wonderfull ! (and pretty shoes
I would be scared to ride that slide too! ;P
The last picture is too cute!
Love the extreme slide xD
That giant slide is sooo cool! I wanna go down!!! And your fairs seem so nice! The ones that i have been to are lame…
OMG I had a dream about riding slides last night!!
The fair looks so nostalgic~~
Yeah sometimes focusing on being calm helps. Or telling yourself “I don’t NEED to be so stressed over this!”
Anyway~ what a fabulous fair! I wanna go down that slide!!
