2011 North Carolina State Fair

The North Carolina State Fair!!! I'm not sure who was more excited, me or Emma Claire! We love the fair and all that goes along with it; the wonderful family time, the good eats, hanging out friends, and the excitement of riding all the rides.

We were so glad that the Lyon's decided to go with us this year! The girls and parents had an absolute blast. (Camp had fun, too!)

The guys could. not. wait. to get to all the food. It was a our very first stop. Just look at all their fried choices!

Left: Camp was such a good boy all night. Right: Emma Claire and Anna Kate didn't waste anytime hitting all the rides either!

Left: Time for a roller coaster! Right: Camp even got to ride it too! He was saying cheese in this picture but all you could see was his little eyes. Benjamin rode with his hand over Camp's mouth because he kept hitting it on the bar.

Left: Just look at those faces!

Right: Dancing with Daddy to some of the live music.

 Can you tell how excited the girls were!?

Left: Emma Claire won a prize at one of the games. Right: Camp loved getting to see all the animals

Left: Anna Kate and Emma Claire checking out the rabbits. Right: Emma Claire was so sweet to share her treat with Camp.

Time for mine and Steph's treat! We couldn't wait to get a funnel cake and warm apple cider.

What a perfect end to the night?! We got to watch the huge firework show on the bridge overlooking the water before we left.

Let's just say we stayed a lot later than planned. It was 11:30 pm before we got the kids home and in the bed. They were zonked.

 We had such a great time and can't wait until next year!
