Day #5035 (Thu., Oct. 19, 2023) – NC State Fair
This morning I took Bobby to Glenwood and then went to get my allergy shot.
This afternoon my wife and I took the van and picked up Bobby at Glenwood. We then went to Phillips to get Katie. The next stop was to McDonalds to fill up with cheeseburgers and fries and such. It’s a good thing we did, as we got stuck in traffic and would have been starved by the time we arrived at the State Fair Grounds.
The first thing we did was to take the sky lift to the other end of the park. There are not many shows this year, so we decided to just get a one way ticket and then walk back. As soon as we got off my wife and Katie wanted to see the various exhibits in the garden show area, and I got a huge bag of cotton candy for Bobby to enjoy. You can see the kids enjoying the fair in the photo to the left.
The whole family tried the bumper cars. My wife and Bobby went into the Haunted House while Katie and I roamed around looking at various games of chance to try out. I guess that the Haunted House was a dud, and Katie and I could not find a game that we wanted to play that looked like there was a reasonable chance to win.
Towards the end of the day Katie and Bobby enjoyed a roller coaster ride. Katie was very excited that she tried it out as it was on her “todo” list and thanked Bobby for going with her as she said she would probably not have tried it without him.
It was dark by the time we got into the car for the ride home. Bobby slept in the van for most of the ride back.
