Mom and Dad took me to the NC State Fair yesterday. Now Mom grew up going to the TN Valley Fair, heck they even gave a day off of school for it! But she had never seen anything like this NC fair! They didn't know what to expect or how long I would last but 4 hours later we were still having a great time! I loved it! Let me tell you about it:
First we saw the animals- goats, pigs, cows (huge!), horses, chickens, you name it they had it. I loved making all the animal sounds and petting the ones I could.
Then we came across the Bobcat Dealer- yep, right in the middle of the fair they had every Bobcat known to man and I "drove" them all. I call all tractors "po pos." Mom has no idea why.
Along the way, we sampled lots of fair food. Mom said since she couldn't go on any rides, she would just eat her way through the fair. Between all of us we had pizza, corndogs, candied apples, roasted corn on the cob, french fries and a bloomin onion. Yummy!
There were a few rides I could go on. I loved this train and mom was really nice for squeezing herself into it with me. The man even gave her permission not to wear the seatbelt since it wouldn't fit across her belly! When we got off the train we ran into Josh Hamilton who played for the Rangers this year with Goose. He lives here in the offseason. Mom introduced herself and he remembered Goose telling him that we were moving to Raleigh. He was very nice and we chatted for a while before he had to go chase his kids. Small world!
I demanded to go on this obstacle course/giant slide multiple times. Dad was worn out by the end but I had a great time!
Well maybe I was worn out too! I fell asleep before we even got on the interstate, apple in hand. Ah! It was a great day at the fair!
