We went to a fairly new playground near our house and Abby brought along her purse. She loves taking it with her wherever she goes. She packs it full of random things and frequently unpacks and re-stuffs the items back in the purse. Here is one picture of her applying her chapstick.
Our next stop was the Farmer's Market. We ate at the restaurant and had a great lunch. The restaurant has a "petting zoo" attached. Here are the kids playing with all the animals (and SpiderMan). You'll notice that these animals are a little different that your regular farm animals....they are all cement statues!
Sunday, we decided to take a trip to the Fairgorunds. They had a ton of activities happening and I think we caught them all, except the "Pagan Pride Day". We just couldn't find the time to squeeze in a pagan ritual before naptime....maybe next year. But we did get to do several other things. We started off looking through the flea market and ended up going to the Greek Festival. After eating our authentic Greek food and watching the Greek dancers, they called all kids to come up and do a fun Greek dance on stage. Abby wanted nothing to do with it, but Cody went with Clay up to the stage. As the music started, Cody chickened out and wanted to leave. At least I got a picture of him attempting to participate.
Next stop, was the Flydog Competition. These dogs would jump over 4 hurdles, then step on a box that released a tennis ball. They would grab the ball, then take off back over the hurdles and run back to the start, where 3 other dogs would consecutively take their turns. At the end of each heat (no pun intended), the dog team that ran the course the fastest won.
Later, we went to the Antique Gun Show. On our way there, we went past the Turkey Shoot Booth and I got a picture of this sign. You don't see stuff like this anywhere but the State Fair Grounds in North Carolina!
All in all, we had a great (and tiring) weekend. I wonder what we'll have planned for next weekend?
