Florida State Fair


The Florida State Fair is in town! We stopped by Saturday afternoon; it was my first time going since high school probably 7 years ago. I was fearless about fair rides then. But now, I'm more hesitant about riding them and opted to just explore the fair grounds instead. It’s a lot bigger now than I remembered it being and has a lot more animals (a baby giraffe and a black bear?) It was random and cool. We walked a lot, enjoyed the attractions (not the rides) and shared a red velvet funnel cake. Yes... I caved on the greasy fried fair food, but it was red velvet...


This alpaca had me rolling. He's such a charmer isn't he? 
fried foods of all kinds. 
Ferris wheel of course.
