A Fair Day

Yesterday Joe took a much needed half day from work and we went to the NC State Fair. The weather was perfect, warm but not too warm. We saw cows and rabbits both of whom Jude thought were dogs and he barked at them. Then we met up with some friend who have an adorable little girl just a few months younger than Jude. Adeline and Jude had fun talking to each other but we never figure out what was so funny.

We tried chocolate covered bacon, looked at the crafts and ate NC State Ice Cream. Jude enjoyed looking at all the people and eating chocolate covered frozen bananas.

We all split some boiled peanuts and Pappys Old Fashion Root Beer then picked up alot of free stickers and pens before heading home. It was a fun but exhausting day. Surprisingly we didn't eat too horribly we just ate alot. We are a little sad we never found out what is a Chicken Boat.

The Blue Hat Goes to the Fair

I finally finished Jude's Hat and my first knitting project. (Actually it was my second attempt at making a hat for him, we were off a little on our calculations for the first one. And I didn't actually "finish" this one, Joe did the final touches.) But that's beside the point, the point is that he has this super cute hat now to keep his little head warm.


Last night we tested the warmth of his new hat at the NC State Fair. Our friends, the Farmers, gave us 2 free admissions tickets. We ate lots of food and saw lots of exhibits. Jude enjoyed all the bright lights and people. I personally, didn't eat too much only a NC State Ice Cream Cone (that was huge!) and a few bites of a funnel cake. (I did get a caramel apple to take home) Joe, however, ate alot! He had a chocolate covered frozen banana, huge NC State ice cream cone, french fries, and funnel cake. Jude only had some warm milk. One thing I did learn is that the fair provides several rooms for nursing mothers. It was nice to have a warm room with comfy chairs and no distractions to feed the babe. It was rather chilly but Jude stayed warm in his new hat and bundled up in the stroller with a blanket.

One of my must-sees of the fair is the bunny exhibit. I think Jude enjoyed it too!

It was a fun evening with the family and didn't cost us too much!
