State Fair

Last Sunday afternoon we took Ella to the State Fair. Steve and I had gone once before, when we lived in Fayetteville, and hadn't really had the desire to go back since then. But this year, since Ella had such a great time on rides at the beach this summer, we thought she'd really enjoy it.

It was the opening weekend, beautiful weather, and very, very crowded, but a lot of fun. We went on a bunch of rides, Ella played a few games, and we ate fair food - we even tried a deep fried snickers bar which didn't taste anything like I expected, but still neat to try.

Ella went on this roller coaster by herself - when I saw that she was going to have to sit next to a big boy I thought she might change her mind, but she did great, and loved the ride.
