Trip to the Fair

Well, it is that time of year again. The time when folks from all over the state converge in Raleigh to look at farm animals and eat fried farm animals. That's right, the North Carolina State Fair started up last week and Yvonne and I (and a couple of friends) decided to go look at the animals and eat some fried things.


It was a few years after I moved to North Carolina before I made it to the fair, but now I enjoy my yearly outing. Where else can you get a Blooming Onion, see a pig race, chow down on a Polish Sausage, pet some sheep, and then end the night with some fried Oreos? I'm sure I will be paying for this tomorrow...



Yvonne even got into the spirit. Of course, she can't eat any of the "food" at the fair, but she can make some new friends. She wanted to bring the little guy home as a friend for Lilli, but sadly, they weren't for sale.








I did feel bad for all of the walking Yvonne did. By the end of the night she was pretty tired and her sciatica was starting to act up again. It will be easier to get around once Vivian is on the outside and I can help carry her. Right now Yvonne is laying on the couch next to me with baby Vivian kicking the crud out of her from the inside. Overall I think they both had a good time. At the very least, we got a few nice pictures.

Aren't we cute? We even have matching Columbia Sports Wear jackets!
