The South Carolina State Fair 2010

This was by far the best fair year ever!!  Hands down,  The Best. 

Benson's at the age where he can actually grasp what was going on and he was like a kid at the... well... fair!   

There is simply nothing like a fair corn dog.  And Fiske Fries. And Netterfields lemonade. I look forward to this meal all year!!

This was a monumental fair year for us.
Benson's 39 inches tall,
which means he is more than 36 inches tall,
which is the minimum height to ride rides,
which meant that he got to RIDE THE RIDES for the FIRST TIME!!!

We got our money's worth out of the all you can ride bracelet!

This is his first go-round on the roller coaster...

Who's having more fun??

so much fun

The bumper cars totally rocked his world...

Aunt Bec took him up to the tippity top of the ginoromous slide...

He had the motorcycle dude 'tude down pat!

We ended up running into the McMurray's which was SUCH a blessing because Benson had a riding buddy in Bryson. 
They were so cute together, running from ride to ride....
