Arkansas State Fair

Joey and I took the girls to the state fair this afternoon. It was an unusually warm day, and didn't know if I would make it a few times. I know that I couldn't have made it without Joey to help. The girls had a great time riding the rides and seeing the animals. It may wear us out and cost a fortune (even though we saved quite a bit by going on Dollar Day), but they had a great time and there were lots of smiles, and that is what matters!


 Love her face!!!!

 Can I just say that being pregnant and going on a ride that goes around and around is NOT a good idea.





 This was the only 'ride' that Anna Claire could ride, but she did have fun the two times she rode!




You can't have a post about the fair without mentioning the food! Isn't that 50% of the reason for going?!? Of course we enjoyed a fresh-squeezed lemonade, but I also had a corn dog (it's not the fair without one!), and a fresh, hot ear of buttered corn (holy cow it was good!). Joey had alligator on a stick (gross), and some kind of onions (double gross). Ella enjoyed her 'Pig Licker'. It's just bacon smothered in chocolate. Looked and smelled nasty, but she liked it! We all split fresh french fries, and were probably all equally nauseated after eating all of this grease!! I really wanted a caramel apple, but after eating all of this, it just wasn't possible. I settled for a Route 44 cherry limeade on the way home. :)
