NJ State Fair


Every summer, we head up to the New Jersey State Fair (Horse and Farm Show). This year was no exception. We packed up the car and set out early this morning with Grandma and Grandpa. We met Aunt Celina, Uncle Ray, Ryan and Peter there. Claire immediately wanted to ride on all of the rides (She takes after me and wants to go on everything!), but we had to wait until 12:00 for the rides to open. So we walked around, checked out all of the delicious, but not very nutritious, fair food - corn dogs, hot dogs, giant turkey legs, chicken on a stick, BBQ, cotton candy, funnel cakes, fried anything, etc., then went to see the petting zoo. The big kids rode on ponies which they absolutely loved! We also saw flowers (Grandma's pick), saw a little show with fruits and veggies, listened to a few country songs performed live (Grandpa's pick), then finally went to the rides. The big kids had lots of fun riding the rides. After a few hours, our time at the fair was over. It was soooooo hot (in the 90s) and the many drinks we purchased weren't even cooling us off, so it was time to head home to the a/c.
