The first stop every year is always the Mini-Doughnut lady! If you have ever had one, you would know why. I will never forget the first time I introduced Pam to mini-doughnuts at the Mall of America! And now, of course, she is hooked too! I really need one of these mini-doughnut makers in my kitchen! This years 'new' fad was the Krispy Kreme Burger! I had seen pictures and heard people talk about it, but we ended up passing it! It really didn't look that appetizing! Then later, I found out that its not a beef burger! So NOW its definately out! Who eats a burger thats not beef? Calories: 1500. Weight Watchers points: 30 (rumor has it that you only get 20 WW points a day).
We walked through the buildings where all the awarded items were in hopes of finding the apple lady Allison likes so much! These apples are amazing and there are so many to choose from. Allison ends up getting the apple with white chocolate, peanut butter chips and marshmallow creme. I can't remember the name of it, but they are awesome!
It is definately the fried Capital of the State during the NC State Fair. You can just about get anything fried. You name it, they probably have it.
Point of location is always measured from the Ostrich!
Diane and I had a blast! The crowds weren't too bad until after 1230, then it got crowded quick. I end up pulling the girls out of school, but this time it ended up being on a Friday, which I will probably not do again. It got too croweded to quick.
Thinking of Christina, of course! 
Yep, thats where we are going! Everyone has to love the Ferris Wheel!
Even Allison likes the Ferris Wheel, although she would never admit it!
Don't smile Allison, Im sure your face would crack! And we definately wouldn't want anyone to know that you were having fun with your Mom!
Thats a long way down!
I think I see these people every day at work...sometimes even as patients!
Allison trying her apple. She couldn't wait to get home!
Theres the Allison everyone knows....Don't smile....but at least her tongue isn't sticking out!
Allison then decided she was hungry and stopped for her favorite Fair food....CORNDOGS! Although, this one was horrible! We threw the breading away and she ate the hotdog part of it! It was cold despite being under a heat lamp! Won't buy it from them again!
Turkey legs...not sure what they feed these turkeys but Ill take a whole turkey! I probably couldn't even fit it in my oven! They are H-U-G-E!
Even vegetables are FRIED! I told you everything....I mean everything!
Then it was time for Lauren's favorite....Fried Oreos! They are actually pretty good, but very sweet!
High Schools from all over the state submitted entries into the 'recycled' catagory. You have to design and make something from 100% recyclables. GMHS's entry was this Armadillo made from recycled tires! It was the best! As a matter of fact I need him in my yard!
Lauren and the best fries at the Fair....Al's Fries! Yum Yum!
864 pound Blue Ribbon pumpkin...Wow! We can sure grow 'em here, huh?
This is Apex High School's entry! Pigs do fly in NC!
Looks like my sister! I do see the resemblance....
Yep, we even fry desserts!
Everything....remember I said...everything.....
Yep, Allison is smiling and everything...too bad she won't turn around so you can see it for yourself!
This one is for Shawn....always thinking of you! He said 'you're not going to post this to YouTube are you?"...I said...'No, just facebook!"
Then it was tattoo time! Lauren took forever to figure out what she wanted! An elephant was the choice for this year! I wanted the one that said 'Porn' with a star shape...the kids didn't think that was funny!
Allison wanted a skull.....so she got a tramp stamp! 14 year old style!
And last but not least, before we go....NC State Ice Cream...the absolute best ice cream...the line was long but moved quickly and was well worth it!
Because it got so crowded so quickly, we had ride tickets left. I decided I would bring the kids back on Sunday to finish up and we could also watch the fireworks again! Great day!
