1st time at the NC State Fair...

this year's theme: "A Whole Lotta Happy"

hmmmmm? Mama would say a whole lotta people, a whole lotta traffic, a whole lotta dust, a whole lotta walkin', a whole lotta fried dough (Deddy), a whole lotta nauseum (The Orbiter), a whole lotta hand sanitizing & baby wipe usage, a whole lotta "Carnies" (Deddy's favorite word)...maybe not a whole lotta happy, but she'll concede it was a good time, just exhausting & a lil' busier than she's used to :)

Best part of my day, though - I was just sitting at my table w.Carson, Lily Y. & Lily S. - eating my after nap snack of milk & cookies. Suddenly I looked up & I see Mama, Deddy, Nana & Pappaw all walking towards me. I couldn't back my chair up fast enough. The tough part though - who to run to?!?! Well, "Pa - Pa" won (he was trying the hardest, haha)! All my friends looked at me like, "Where's John going!?!", but I didn't look back once - it felt like a birthday to have all those people who love me there to get me from school. I mean, what could really top that??

Deddy did win me an Elmo (which I love) and Pappaw won me 2 goldfish (although the Carney accused him of cheating - come to find out he was), but Mama & Deddy made him give them away b/c they don't want any more "Pissshhhhhh" right now.

Here's some pics of our journey to the State Fair...

Waiting to cross the street - we did A LOT of waiting!

Watchin' Michelle & her "Magical Poodles" - don't know which was sillier, the poodles or Michelle :)

Riding the "Fun Slide" w.Deddy - I think I like my yellow one @ home better...

Why are there so many people?

A beautiful, old white church, right in the middle of "Yesteryear" ~ I had a lot of fun running around the ramp on the backside of this...I also had my diaper changed on the front pew (don't ask!)

Saw this big thing off in the distance ~ they said I was too little to go that high!

Me & Nana : )

Bottle-cap rug in the landscape/garden area ~ I can see Mama's wheels spinning!

Photobucket

Me, Nana & Pappaw ~ they were awesome stroller-pushers! I kept my fingers in my mouth the whole time (yuck!), they think I might have some serious teeth bustin' through...lots of drooling & chewing.

Photobucket

Me & the parentals ~ me still chewing & drooling : )

So, until next year, I suppose...time to bid adieu to the "whole lotta happy" place : )
