NC State Fair

Yes, off to the 2008 North Carolina State Fair, and of course our 1st and most important stop is to the Mini-Doughnut lady! There is nothing like starting off with a bag of HOT, FRESH mini-doughnuts ! I even texted Pam a picture of what she was missing! Needless to say, she didn't appreciate the picture, but Im sure her mouth was watering. Another reason as to WHY SHE SHOULD MOVE TO NORTH CAROLINA~

This was the 1st year that I can remember that it was actually COLD during our visit to the Fair. I wore a sweatshirt and only took it off once and that only lasted about 30 minutes. The girls rode rides, played some games, got a Henna tattoo (that was the worst one ever). It was supposed to last more than 30 days and didn't last even one. Good thing we didn't pay for it! All in all we had a great time. It was a Saturday and I usually don't go on Saturdays but we had anticipated Pam and the kids being here and Chris doesn't work weekends, so it just worked out that was the best time for everyone despite Pam and the kids not being here. It was rather crowded by the time we left and I was tired. All that walking and eating can really make a person tired!

These were pictures from the ride that all of us rode. Of course, they were action shots and Lauren was absolutely hilarious. Allison and I could hear her laughing and yelling the whole ride.

This was also the 1st year that Allison and Lauren were into the 'freak shows'. I think between the both of them, they saw every 6 legged cow, 5 legged sheep, the largest horse and the smallest IN THE WORLD! I think they had more fun seeing those than anything else.

More pics of the girls eating. We did venture through the education building where there were numerous craft things for sale and we ran into Kay Hagan,who happens to be a little taller than Allison!

Enjoy! I will miss the Mini-Doughnut Lady for another 365 days!
