A Busy, but Fun Weekend!

Friday, October 16th:
We packed up around noon on Friday and headed out to the NC State Fair.  We arrived a little after 1pm and met up with one of Rebecca's coworkers.  We enjoyed walking around and just eating food!
This year's list of "Fair Food" split between us:
Deep Fried Pecan Pie
Deep Fried Double Cheese Burger
Maple Syrup Cotton Candy
Roasted Corn on the Cob
Mangeroon Candy Apple
Two Peanuts
Italian Sausage

After getting back from the fair that afternoon, we went to Joel's and Izabella's house for dinner, and Richard and Melinda were there as well.

Saturday, October 17th:
Saturday, we woke up and loaded into the car around 9am and headed towards Charlotte for the Carolina Renaissance Festival.  It was about a two hours drive to the CRF, and Ethan slept almost the entire way.  The weather was cold(in the 50s), so we made sure Ethan was layered with many clothing items, and topped it off with his costume we bought him for CRF.  His costume was extremely popular with random people walking around, and we kept getting comments like, "Ohh look, a baby dragon!"  There were about six random people that asked us if they could take his picture, and of course we said yes(this made me think about setting up a dragon picture shop next year kids!).
We stayed at the CRF from about 11:30am until 4:30pm and arrived back home around 7pm.  We were pretty tired from all the traveling on Friday and Saturday.
