NC State Fair - 2010!

Oh man do we love the NC State Fair... the people, the rides, the sounds, but most importantly THE FOOD.  We love it so much that we had to introduce Lacey to it all too!  She was such a trooper driving the long distance with us from Atlanta to NC, but I think she enjoyed herself!
Unfortunately, we chose the last night of the fair to go... so the traffic getting there was unbelievable!  Once parked and inside the fair, we quickly headed to our favorite Corn on the Cob Stand.  This is my dad's favorite spot, so we took a picture to document for him since he's not allowed to go this year.  Next was ribbon fries, blooming onion, fried snickers, root beer, and carmel apples.  YUM!!
I caught Lacey mid bite with her fried snickers, so this picture cracks me up.  Tara finished hers before Lacey and I remember hearing "Come on Lacey keep up" haha and then seeing Lacey dive in to finish her snickers.  I told her I wasn't joking when our family goes to the fair for the food :)
The newest food at the fair this year was the KRISPY KREME BACON CHEESEBURGER! As soon as Kyle heard about this he put it on his list to try.  Overall he said it was delicious, but he wished it had a slice of American cheese on top instead of the nacho cheese.  Either way it sounded gross to the rest of us!!
Since we had eaten so much food, we decided to go on some rides!  First up was the Ferris Wheel, which we had to wait in about a 45 minute line to get into.  It was really fun though.
Here are all the kiddos waiting:
And this was our view from the top:
Tara cannot handle when you get to the top and it just stops.  She was cracking us up with how scared she was, and she would not let go of the center pole!
After that ride, Lacey and Nick decided to go on a real ride so while they waited in line Kyle and Jamie played some games!  Jamie ended up winning the water squirting game and Kyle won the baseball throwing game.  Look at their lovely prizes:
And then we took lots more pictures in between eating pizza, bbq sandwiches and fried Wisconsin cheese sticks:
Our last stop was the NC State Ice Cream stand!  It was delicious as always, and we timed it perfectly with getting to watch the fireworks!
The fair never disappoints, but I think it's always the company we have!  Thank you Tara & Nick for staying in town just for us!  Love going with our family, and am so glad Lacey could join us this year too!

Tara said...

We had such a great time with you!!!! We loved every minute of eating, talking, riding...and even catching up in the traffic:) And yes, I don't like to sit at the top in a stopped ferris wheel (Nick's face in that pic cracks me up) but I was totally fine once it got started! And I'm so glad I could introduce Lacey to a fried snicker's bar! Fun, fun, fun! Can't wait for next year! Love you so much!
