State Fair Re-cap

Oh wow...it was a great day to go to the state fair along with everyone else in the state. The crowd was minimal at the beginning, but then later in the day, it got really CROWDED. I don't mean "busy," I mean flat out "you can't move your finger without hitting someone else." There was so many people today it was almost hard to breathe.

David and I made our usual rounds to the livestock buildings and then to the ag building with all the free samples. Well, what I thought was the building with all the free samples. I was disappointed at the lack of vendors this year. Either we missed something, or there wasn't as many as there usually are.

Did I mention I had to use the bathroom every 10 minutes? And did I also mention there was a 15 minute wait at each restroom...yeah. I would have had a much more enjoyable time if I wasn't preggo and needed to pee every second. I also needed to take many breaks because my bump is getting rather large. It puts me out of breath to walk that much.

No, I did not try the krispy kreme hamburger or the deep friend pumpkin pie. However, I did have amazing BBQ at the Pork Chop Shop. Oh, and of course free hush puppies at the mill! And, I didn't leave the fair gates without my candy apple in hand. I felt rather guilty about that candy apple, but all guilt seemed to fade away while I was consuming it. Baby didn't seem to mind.

I think today's fair escapade was a success; other than the fact it took 45 minutes to park and me having to pee so much. I must say I am very excited to bring our little girl to next year's fair...and maybe next year we won't decide to go on the seemingly busiest day in state fair history.
