Florida State Fair

Yesterday the Gatchel and Stinson clans decided to head over to the state fairgrounds and check out the Florida State Fair. Other than it being a little chilly (mid 50's in Florida, I know...) we had an excellent time. The most fun was seeing all the animals! Noah really loved the bunnies the most and now wants to have his own. Grant tried crispy corn (deep friend corn on a stick!) and we were all grossed out by the booth we saw selling deep fried butter! We saw lots of cool arts and crafts, some really neat vendors and I tasted the most amazing white hot chocolate. Grant made a trip through the "candy warehouse" which is literally a huge area of the expo center with bins of bulk candy that you can mix and match. I have to say, we Gatchel's had a blast. I would definitely go back again next year - or even this year if it was a little closer. We were there for over 5 hrs and didn't even really see half the fair!

Arriving!

This guy was building this sand sculpture as everyone watched. It was incredible
