The NC Fair 2010

We were not going to go to the fair this year because it is so expensive and we are trying to cut back.  But, Riley and Regan could earn a patch for Y Guides if they went and our family was able to go with us.  So, we went and only spent $33.00!!  The girls had a blast and we enjoyed our time with Joe, Abby and our precious niece and nephew.  We saw many animals, watched a bike/motorcycle stunt show, rode the ferris wheel, watched some pig racin,' and Tony and I got free flu shots. :) We did not eat any of the fair food this year because we found out you could bring your own food and drinks in. Tony and Joe passed on the Krispy Kreme Donut Burgers but I would have loved to see them eat it.  The girls did only one ride this year because they really wanted to do the ferris wheel but it was 5 tickets per person.  So, we spent $20.00 on one ride!!!!  Ridiculous.  But, they enjoyed it and were fine about that being their only ride.  We had great weather, enjoyed our time with family, and enjoyed the "fair experience."

Here is the big ferris wheel the girls, Tony, Lizzie and Aunt Abby went on.

Lizzie is excited about going on the "Big Circle"  that is what she called it. :)

The girls did not want to feed the camels because they spit.

Goat, "Can I pleaseee have your carrot?"  Reece, "I am not sure I want to give it to you."
What is a fair without some Pig Racin'?  Now this is some racin'.  Oink, Oink
