Off to the Fair!

The Brinson family made their annual trip to the North Carolina State Fair last Monday. This marks the 10th year in a row that the Brinson family has enjoyed the sights, smells, and tastes of the North Carolina State Fair.

Combine the smells of the most ridiculous fried foods you can imagine with farm animal competitions, and you’ve got quite an olfactory extravaganza. How can one go wrong with deep-fried Twinkies, fried cheesecake-on-a-stick, homemade ice cream, applejacks, and giant turkey legs!

Amelia (and Dad) enjoyed all kinds of rides (including a bumpy bird roller coaster ride that made Dad have to take a break for a little while), including her favorite…Ponies!

Amelia heads straight for the Ponies as soon as we walk into the fair.

We also enjoyed the afternoon matinee of pig, billy goat, and duck races. Amelia liked the piggies the best.

Ever the negotiater, we closed the day with a coveted cowgirl hat and “one-more pony ride”. What a great day!
