We started with some photo ops:

Charly liked petting the alpaca. He showed his appreciation by giving her kisses. |
The ram, ready for his glamour shot.
Baby pig! Matt sooo wants a pig for a pet. Maybe someday (cough:never)
She loves animals!
Tiny baby duck. What is it about baby animals that makes them irresistable?! We got to see baby chicks hatching, and I swear those damp gangly little guys were the cutest thing ever!
We hit up some rides:
Those jeggings are supposed to be pants, not capris (and they are 12m size). We have one tall girl on our hands!
Checked out the agriculture exhibit:
Ultimate pumpkin carving. These things were HUGE! I can't imagine spending that much time carving something that will rot in such a short amount of time.
Took a few more fun photos:
And of course, partook in some delightful carnie food:
He's a savage beast!
My friends, this is a deep fried twinkie. I was skeptical, but it was surprisingly good. I'd say it is better than a regular twinkie for sure.
I get that crazy look in my eye when I hear the words "chocolate dipped cheesecake"
The Virginia State Fair was the best one I've been to, possibly ever. There is something for everyone at the fair- except perhaps food for the health conscious. I bet you could make a killing selling veggie trays.
The Virginia State Fair will be going through Oct. 9th and is located off I 95 at the Kings Dominion exit. Virginia friends, you should go! Find more info on their website. You won't regret it!
