On Monday, we headed to the Fair with Mimi! We always used to go when I was little, so I was excited to get Bear Cub there. Not so much for the rides, but for the animals and just the whole Fair "experience." It was uncrowded with beautiful weather -- lots of fun!! You can't go to the Fair without some sticky, yummy cotton candy! Mmmmm!
Check out the sign for the Krispy Kreme Donut Burger -- a beef patty between 2 donuts...HEART ATTACK SPECIAL! No, we did NOT have that...just couldn't resist the signage for these foods!
More interesting foods...the fried specials of the Fair. Deep fried BUTTER?? And Pepsi? What?!?!?
Yum!
Feeding some donkeys at the Fair...he also fed goats and some sheep and got to pet all sorts of other animals. There were even giraffes! While in this "barn" there was a mama cow that gave birth to a calf while we were in there! Pretty cool!
Checking out a 1960 helicoptor
The one ride he went on -- super fast fire trucks that went around in a circle! He was a bit taken back by the speed of it (me too!) and by lap 2, his little face was crumpling. But, with a little encouragement, he started to "steer" and seemed to have fun after all. I was about to have the guy call it quits for him!
Sucking on a tube of peach honey. Ooh! It was good! This part of the Fair is called "Cracker Country" and is all about "old time" living. It's pretty interesting! About 6 years ago when I was teaching, we took a field trip to this exhibit.
Cheese! with Mimi
We had a great day together! :)
I love the state fair! I'm happy you guys had fun. :)
ReplyDeleteLooks like fun! I remember going with you, Mom, Aunt Sharon and Amy YEARS ago. I think the biggest treat back then was a deep fried corn dog.
ReplyDeleteYou got to see a calf be born?! And Gunnar got to feed donkeys?! All in the same day? I'm jealous.
Nice signage photos, btw! Love you : )
