Virginia State Fair!

I look forward to going to the fair EVERY year!!!  I get so excited when the time comes for cotton candy, games, rides, and fun!  I know my kids love it too…especially all the junk food!  I love for our family to take portraits at least once a year, so this year I thought, “How fun would it be to have our pictures taken at the fair?!”  Leah Kelso from Hello Fabulous Photography was our photographer this year(thanks again Leah!!)  She did such a great job and I was so pleased with the pictures!!  You can check them out here!  And although my kids weren’t the most cooperative, I think we still got some great shots and we went on to spend a great day at the fair(NINE hours to be exact!)

Below are some of my favorites from the day….looking at them makes me excited for next year’s fair!!  I hope you enjoy the photos! 🙂 PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGEGoing on the ferris wheel!

PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGEWe ran into Jay’s cousin Mitchel and his mom Cheryl while we were there, so I snapped a few of them.  Notice the Chicken on a Stick that Mitchel is holding lol! PIN IMAGEI think we should have thought a little more before saying yes to these horns!!  They played them NONSTOP…pretty much from the time they got them until they passed out in the car.  NOT a fun car ride home!
