Miles, Halleigh and I went to the North Carolina State Fair on Monday.  We took Halleigh last year, and so we thought that we would make it a tradition by taking her again this year. I must say, she had WAY more fun this year than last.

The highlight for Halleigh was the carosel ride.  While we were waiting for the ride to start Halleigh was sitting on her horse, flapping her arms and "dancing" to the music that was playing.  But as soon as the horse and ride started to move, she held on to the pole with a death grip... literally she had white knuckles. She was smiling and looking around, making noise the whole ride, but never did she let up on the grip that she had on the horse until the ride came to a full and complete stop. Even then I had to pry her fingers off so that we could leave. I think my girl is going to be a thrill seeker... what am I saying... she already is!

The highlight for me was the cake exhibition. There were some of the most beautiful cake decorating that I have ever seen. Some of the cakes were simply amazing! Continue reading for pictures of some of my favorite cakes exhibited!  I liked the exhibit so much that I think that I am going to enter next year.

I think that the highlight for Miles was the goat showing that we watched for a little while. They were some really cute goats... if goats can be cute.  If you are around and you have a spare afternoon, go and help the fair break the 1,000,000 visitor mark. Tickets are $7.00 and well worth it... where else can you get a fried PB&J sandwich?
