the dangers of wearing flippy floppys

one of my all-time fav songs is "fishin' in the dark" by the nitty gritty dirt band. i've loved it since the first time i heard it foreva ago. anyways, when i heard they were going to be performing at some local fair (maybe 5ish years ago??) i had to go. so, my mom, brother and i drove out to south jordan early so we could take in the fair before the concert. we were leisurely walking around admiring the people, festivities and the surroundings. (stick with this post, i swear it's getting to a point!) we then found the show animals. oh, the lovely show animals. horses, sheep, cows, etc. we strolled down the aisle between the stalls when ALL. OF. A. SUDDEN., because i wasn't looking down, i had animal caca on my foot! it must have been there for awhile because it was kinda cold. i had walked right into it and ended up somehow scooping it up on my foot. since i was wearing flip flops i had poopoo squishing in between my toes!!! my mom and brother couldn't stop laughing and i have to admit that i was embarrassed and flabbergasted. how does something like this happen?

anyways, we quickly found a water spout so i was able to rinse my foot off. we enjoyed the concert and i scrubbed my foot with lots of soap when i got home. now, i love flip flops just as much as the next person-if not more-i just walk a little more carefully when i wear them now.

OMG I do so remember that happening!! Do you also remember seeing that really big horse's butt that you took a picture of? It was huge! Some fond memories we share, huh.

I also still LOVE that song and everytime I hear it I think of you. Love you Penny Sue!
