So on Friday we went to the NC State Fair. We go every year and we had a great time, as usual! :D I took a ton of pictures, surprise, surprise. Usually, we just go to the fair, look to see if our entries won anything, and look at a bunch of exhibits. No food or rides. However, this year, Nathan and I decided to sample some food... *evil grin* I got a deep-fried pecan pie (so delicious!) and Nathan got deep-fried oreos (he liked them). Mom pronounced them both disgusting (which means they were both extremely yummy).
I think we traumatized Joshua... :-) In case he got lost, I wrote his name and mom and dad's cell phone numbers on his arm with a pen. We told him that if he got lost, he needed to walk up to someone and tell them he was lost and show them his arm. He was
so terrified of getting lost that he freaked out whenever we took him away from Mommy. Poor kid.
This was also the longest time we've ever spent at the fair. We got there around 10am and didn't leave until 6pm. Needless to say, we were
exhausted. What I don't get is why Joy Anna was so wound up and crazy on the way home. She didn't sleep all day yet she talked and laughed all the way home...
Anyway, here's some pics from the day! (WARNING: A
lot of pics!) Click on them for full res.
