On Saturday we joined a few friends for a trip to the North Carolina State Fair.
Big mistake.
First, the 30 minute car ride turned into an hour and a half car ride. Followed by a 30 minute wait in line for the shuttle bus to the fairgrounds. Followed by a 30 minute crowded bus ride. We were all exhausted by the time we finally arrived at the fair.
(The face of a child who is just annoyed as her parents by the long trip.)
But once we arrived, we tried to make the most of it.
First stop--the animals.
Penelope quickly made friends with this huge mule.
Our attempt at a group photo.

Then Penelope teased the chickens by trying to stick her fingers in the cages.
Scott and Mary entranced by the milking booth.
You know you're at the North Carolina State Fair when you encounter a tobacco curing exhibit.
"Look Penelope! This is how you dry tobacco leaves and make cigarettes. Mmm!"
But steer clear of those drugs!
You can't go to the fair without splurging on a ride or two. We went for the classic carousel ride.
Giddy up!
After a quick bite to eat we hightailed it out of there to catch our shuttle bus.
Along with a thousand other fairgoers.
After over an hour of waiting in line we wondered if we would ever escape the clutches of the state fair.
Penelope you'd better treasure these pictures.
Because they are the last ones that will ever include you at a state fair.
