Evan's 1st Trip to the State Fair!

So a couple weekends ago (I have been so busy and have to get caught up on here), we (just me and Evan because Daddy had to work) had a busy weekend traveling to Raleigh.  Mommy went to cousin Andrew and Ashley's wedding in Cary.  It was a really beautiful and fun wedding...perfect for a fun-loving young couple!  The wedding was a late night affair so Evan stayed with his Nana and Papa.  They spoiled him, of course, and took him to eat pizza...pepperoni of course!  Then, they let him stay up really late watching his TV shows.  On Sunday morning, Nana made him pancakes...again, spoiled!  Then, we had lunch with Papa at his favorite restaurant, Andy's.  Haha!  Gotta love some greasy hamburgers and fries!  After lunch, Evan and Mommy headed to Raleigh for some fun at the State Fair.  Unfortunately, it was crazy crowded, and Evan was not loving the crowds.  He did manage to ride a few rides, including his first roller coaster with Grandma...Mommy had to sit that one out!  Mommy did enjoy getting some goodies though...funnel cake, cotton candy, and caramel apples...YUM!

Here are some pictures of our crazy day at the fair:


Evan's first fair ride by himself...the helicopters!  He really wanted to ride the green one (his newest obsession is anything green) so he was a little disappointed and sad here.  Poor baby!



Coming off the ride like a big boy!



Waiting patiently to ride the carousel.



Riding the carousel.  Again, he didn't seem too happy.  Probably because we still hadn't found Grandma and Aunt 'Omi. 



Trying to smile.



Playing his first carnival game...fishing for sharks.  He caught a bunch!  ;-)



A very serious fisherman.



His first carnival prize!



Ridin' his first coaster with Grandma...yep, he was terrified!  Haha!



Feeding a llama at the petting zoo...animals are always a hit!



They even had a baby kangaroo.  So cute!



Feeding a baby goat some carrots. 



But the goat seemed to like Evan's pants better.  Haha!



More feeding.  He was so cute making sure he fed every animal we passed.  He would tell the "greedy" ones "No, I already fed you!" 



Evan and his little goat friends.



Begging for more carrots...like they weren't getting enough to eat!  Ha!



Evan saw his favorite animal...a camel!  He wants to ride one...haha!



A two hump wump...a little Dr. Seuss for ya!



At the end of the day Evan and Mommy were very tired from all the walking.  On the long walk back to the car at Carter Finley Stadium, I just had to snap this picture for Daddy.  One day, they will go to some football games together!

Mommy did not enjoy the long drive home to Charlotte in the dark, but I guess it was a good weekend.  We missed Daddy so much!
