Two Kids



Whats the difference between the two "kids"? One loves to eat vegetables and one loves to eat candy.




Yesterday we went to the North Carolina State Fair. Thousands of people drive from all over NC to participate in this annual event with its over sized pumpkins, barn yard animals, arts and crafts contests, and fried EVERYTHING! Not just fried dough or potatoes. You name it, we can fry it in the south: coke, bacon, Twinkies, candy bars, oreos, all manner of meats and vegetables, corn bread etc.



High lights of our venture included a dirt bike stunt show, giant turkey legs and watching David Hyrum ride his first roller coaster unassisted by an adult. Every time the little dragon came around the corner both boys were thrown forward.As a mother on the side lines I'm having second thoughts about putting my one year old on this semi-safe contraption.



David Hyrum still LOVES anything motor. He is thrilled to find tractors to sit on, school buses on the road, and all things construction. I'm guessing its a little boy phase but its lasted a good 10 months now. Gabe went through something similar and isn't completely out of it yet.

  1. I love taking the kids to fairs. Sadie just loves petting zoos and oh how I love fried anything. Your boys are so cute.

  2. Fried coke? I can't even picture it.
    And I'm with you on those rides--watching your baby get flipped all over creation isn't thrilling for a mom...
    I do love the fairs, though!
