A Day at the Fair...

We spent the day at the North Carolina State Fair, it is such a fun day and we look forward to it every year! There is so much to see and do...lots of walking and a great tiring day!

Emily's most favorite thing every year is the exhibit where you can hold and pet the baby chicks and ducks. She would stay there all day if we would let her!


I love looking at all the things people create to enter in the fair. These cakes were just amazing!
Our kids are pretty frugal when it comes to spending their money at the fair, they are wise to the games that cost $ 2 to play only to win a 25 cent toy... although they did each spend 50 cents of their money to see the World's Smallest Horse! It really was a teeny-tiny horse...no bigger than our dog!
We took in a "Michelle's Magnificent Poodles" show...again Em would have stayed all day playing with these poodles!

It was a super day and I am proud to say... we saw, but DID NOT eat any of the following deep fried foods... cheesecake, oreos, pecan pie, twinkies, snickers bar, pickles, or mac-n-cheese. Yes, they deep fry and sell all of those items!! We did, however splurge and eat ham biscuits and a funnel cake! It just wouldn't have been fair day without those items!
