A Day At The Fair

Yesterday my friend Mindy and I went to the State Fair together. Oh my, it was so much fun. I'm always a little nervous when I hang out with someone new, (even though we already have hung out) but Mindy is so sweet and comfortable to be around. It was a beautiful day for a fair.

We decided to buy all-day passes so we could ride rides. 

I can't remember the last time I rode on rides.. maybe 5-6 years! 

We rode on the carousel, but we weren't allowed to ride on the horses. I was just a bit disappointed.

We rode the ferris wheel... I bet you didn't know this about me, but I'm totally afraid of heights. 

I did pretty good though. 

View from the top. The fair was almost empty!

 After a few too many spinning rides we needed a break.

Especially me. I had to sit down and hold my head for a minute.

We decided to see the animals.

 Mr. Second place winner destroyed his ribbon.. he thought he deserved first place, obviously.

Bunnies are so adorable! I wanted to cuddle every single one.

 Oh my.. I love this guy.

We ate wonderful fair food, corn dogs and fried twinkies. 

 They were so messy!

They were way better than I expected. 

I thought about trying frog legs and chocolate covered bacon.. maybe next time.

 After walking around the fair we went into a Mobile Art Museum and looked around. 

Just as we did it started pouring rain and hail. We took shelter in there and chatted with the owner for about an hour while everyone else had to take shelter in the animal barns. I felt pretty lucky.

 After the rain let up it continued on to be a beautiful day.

Oh I love carnivals!
