Coastal Carolina Fair

The fair is a very special place to my family. Ever since we were very young, our Poppi took us to the fair every year. He is part of the Exchange Club (a men's volunteer group) which sponsors the fair every year and because the fair grounds are owned by the Exchange Club, Poppi gets all of his family into the fair for free and we get free hand stamps for the rides too! 

It was only fitting for us to take the boys to the fair this year! Poppi was so excited that the boys were going that he almost cried when we told them we were taking them. He said that it was "all he ever wanted". So cute. Here are our pics!


 Fun things you get to see at the fair. 
A little ridiculous.

 He was so proud to stroll them around.

 I had one of these, a gyro, cinnamon sugar pretzel, fries,
cotton candy, ice cream, fried smore's, and fried cookie dough!
(Don't worry, I shared some of it with others)

 Enjoying fair food again.
 Bebe eating the gyro.
 Charlie liked the taste of cinnamon and sugar.

looking sharp.

No one would play her, so I did... 
I won. 

We had a wonderful time. We shut the place down... Those little babies won't remember it but I will!
