Deep Fried Festival

This post is a bit overdue, but I had more important things on my mind to blog about, so I put this off. However, a few weeks ago we attended a huge festival that comes to our fair city once a year. The festival boasts of peanuts, fried Snickers bars, elephant ears (mine and Caroline's favorite), corn dogs, and fried Twinkies. Oh, and rides also. Rides for $1.25 a ticket...not a family on a budgets dream. We were all set to decline riding anything, but Caroline got really excited about the carousel and her sweet Opa ran off to purchase tickets for her to ride, stating, "That's what Opa's are for!"




He bought her not one, but two rides! She loved it and had a blast!

We feasted that night on corn dogs, healthy right? The local corn dog man makes enough money at this yearly festival to keep from working for the entire rest of the year! He says he still takes his homemade corn dogs to other events, but he chooses too. It's unreal...but seriously, they are good corn dogs! We also had an elephant ear. This was Caroline's first time at the festival and her first elephant ear...she thoroughly enjoyed it!



She's really enjoying her elephant ear treat! Speaking of elephants...



Yes, that is Caroline and her daddy watching Aunt KK, Uncle Jud and our friends Will and Kristen ride on an elephant. We did not opt to let Caroline ride.

All in all a fun time with the fam!
