NC State Fair 2013

So...yeah...it's been quite a while since I posted.  Kids keep on growing, we keep on adventuring, and photos keep getting taken... just haven't made the leap to cyberspace to document the fun.  I'll try to do better!

Way back in October, we took our third annual trip to the State Fair in Raleigh.  M had been talking about it for weeks and had filled J's head with all kinds of wondrous things that we would see and do there.  I think J expected it to live up to our DisneyWorld trip from this summer.  Not quite the same, but fun was still had by all.  We looked at the livestock and produce entries, watched 4-H kids show off their sheep and goats, picked up freebies from lots of educational booths, rode rides, and ate carny food.  Too bad the fair only comes once a year!
