Last week our good friend Weslie and Jeremy were in town for their daughter Avery's birthday, which also coincided with the State Fair. Weslie's mom runs the 4-H dog show, so she got us some tickets and we headed down to the fair. It was the kids first time, and mine too! I always went to little church carnivals, but nothing like the State fair before. It was a lot of fun!

Riding the ferris wheel with my girl. She takes after me SO much, the faster the better! She loved being at the top and looking down at everything, even though it was freezing!

We had so much fun at the fair. We got to see a ton of animals- besides the cows, goats and dogs, there was a menagerie set up with llamas, monkeys, kangaroos and giraffes!! Savannah and Landon were so excited to see the giraffes. Savannah's best "friend" is her stuffed giraffe, Melman, named for Madagascar. It was neat to see them so up close! And then of course we had to enjoy the food the fair had to offer- corn dogs, cotton candy and funnel cakes, yum! But we had to laugh at the variation of fried foods- oreos, cookie dough, butter (!), snickers... but by far the most disgusting food offered up was a Krispy Kreme donut burger. The thought of it makes me gag!!
