NC State Fair

I love the fair!!  I can't say that enough.  I have loved it since I was 12 and went for the first time with a friend.  We haven't been in a few years since it's so expensive but we found a bunch of ways to trim the cost and it was a fantastic day!  

First up was my absolute favorite ride, the Ferris Wheel!  Phillip is really afraid of heights and he didn't want to go on but of course it was fine ; )

Even little miss loved it.  She just kept looking around at everything.

Coop was pretty nervous at first but then he loved it.  He thought it was so cool that he could see all the way to the other end of the fair



Addison has been talking about this caterpillar roller coaster for months.  She's been so excited to go on it and it did not disappoint.  Cooper loved it too!


Next up was the "lying down ride".  Addison loved this.  She said it felt just like flying.  




My heart just about burst watching them on the swings together.  They just kept laughing together the whole time.  It was awesome.

Coop said this was his favorite ride.  It was a helicopter pretending to crash.  It was pretty fun to watch.

For lunch the kids had a funnel cake.  Apparently it was delicious!

Phillip and his giant turkey leg.  He gets one every time we go.  It grosses me out a little but it sure did taste good!

Addison loved it too!

After lunch we saw a bike/motorcross show.  It was awesome.  I couldn't believe some of the tricks these guys were doing.  The kids were completely amazed.


They were so excited to see the giant pumpkins.  The biggest was 799 pounds. Crazy!



Before we left we had to get a few more snacks ; )  Addison picked chocolate dipped ice cream and Cooper picked Deep Fried Oreos.  I have to say that they were the best thing I've ever tasted at the fair. I cannot wait to get them next year!


Haven was amazing all day.  She didn't make a peep at all.  She loves being outside so she was so happy and content to just sit and look at everything.  It was great!

Punkin Patch

Phillip's sister Shanwa and her family come up every October and we look forward to it every year.  We try to do a pumpkin patch/corn maze type place while they are here. We did a different one this year since the place we normally go to has been going downhill for a while and we had an amazing time.  The weather was cool and cloudy, a perfect fall day!  

I was so excited to dress up Haven in her Halloween outfit that I found at the consignment sale.  It was SO ADORABLE! She could not have possibly been any cuter!  And the best part of all is that she started sitting up this week.  She is still a little wobbly but I was glad to get this one of her sitting still.  Perfect pretty girl!

I love finding cute Halloween shirts for the kids. They are all SO cute!!!

First up when we got the the farm was this giant slide that the kids went on at least 50 times.  It was so big and SO fast.  The kids loved it, well all the kids except Haven.  She didn't cry but she was terrified when Phillip took her with him.


They had this cute little train ride the the kids went on over and over.  It was so fun for them!

Addison racing ducks with uncle Joseph.  She loved it!

Having a BLAST!

They had a corn pool that was awesome.  The last one we went to had really old corn and I couldn't even let Cooper in it for more than a minute because of all the dust.  It was just kind of nasty.  This one was fresh, clean and barely any dust at all.  We all had a blast!  





The cute cousins 10 days apart.  They are so cute!

She kept trying to eat the corn every chance she got.  


They had a cute little petting zoo too


Me and my girl on the hayride to the pumpkin patch.  That was probably my favorite part.

Cute, sweet cousins

A pumpkin was included with the hayride so the kids were excited to pick any pumpkin they wanted.  They loved that.  Normally, I am very picky about the pumpkin we get.  Cooper picked a huge one that he could barely lift.

Cutie pie girl liked playing in the grass




She kept trying to get his lunch out of his mouth.  It was pretty funny.

These 2 were inseparable all weekend.  They had to eat next each other, sleep next to each other, play together, basically do everything together.  I hope they stay this close as they grow up.  I love it!

She kept trying to get her binky in the cup holder.  She was unsuccessful! 

Trying to get through the corn maze



Tired after a long day!
