NC State Fair fun

If there is a tractor around, Ethan is on it!

MONSTER TRUCK! Ethan's latest obsession!

Our little family of 3.5 had a great time at the fair today. If you brought in 4 canned foods then you got in "free" instead of the $7.00 a person entrance price. I had just reorganized our kitchen pantry (nesting much??) and knew we had an abundance of canned foods that we could donate. So we decided to venture out to the fair because combine that and we know a great close place to park, we knew we couldn't do any better! We also brought $20.00 and agreed that that was our budget for the day. Ethan was able to ride 1 ride and we bought some snack foods and still made it out under budget! The weather was absolutely gorgeous... a high of 79, sunny and breezy! We had a blast! Walking around, people watching, looking at all the animals, getting freebies and just being together. We went during Ethan's nap time which was a gamble, but he was GREAT! I am so glad that we ended up going this year and that we did it as budget friendly as possible!
