State Fair and Birthday

Yesterday was my 29th birthday. One more year to go before I am 30!! I had an awesome birthday. Justin and I went out with some friends on Sunday night and I got to just relax yesterday. I actually took 2 naps, which is crazy for me because I can never fall asleep during the day. Justin helped Lucy make me the most adorable card. Loved it.

Today we went to the state fair. It was so much fun. The weather was gorgeous - a little warm at first, but cooled off and was perfect. I have written in the past about the CRAZY food that is at the fair, and this year did not disappoint. We ate at least a bite of all of this - corny dog, chicken tenders, fried banana pudding, tamales, french fries, fried pb&j, fried avocado chunks, cotton candy, and chicken fried bacon. I know you are throwing up, don't worry, I am as well. I am sure that the chicken fried bacon is really getting you. We would have never gotten that, but it was rated the #1 new fair food this year, so we had to try it. It was so gross we all took one bite and threw it out. Oh yeah, just so you don't think that it was just Justin and I eating all of this, we were there with Steve and Christy. We would each pick something and then share it. I get really grossed out by most of the food after a short while and cannot really stand more than a bite. Lucy was really only impressed with the corny dog and cotton candy. We will be going back again because we did not get to try the fried S'mores. Lucy rode two rides and won 2 prizes. She was so UNimpressed with the rides. One was a little boat ride and she sat completely still in her boat and never moved or changed expressions the entire time. We were all cracking up because it was so funny. She seemed to enjoy the swings a little more, but not much. She is so serious. She LOVED the petting zoo. It was definitely her favorite thing.
