SUWEEE!

There is nothing like a NC Festival with pig races! On Saturday we took Landon to the Got to Be NC Festival in Raleigh at the Fair Grounds. It was like a mini NC State Fair with Free admission, only have to pay for food/drinks, rides, or anything at the Grandstand(tractor pulls, horse pulls, concerts). They had free pig, goat, duck, and pot belly pig races. After the races were over Landon said "again" "more". So we had to convince him to go on the next thing. They also had a free petting zoo which had all kinds of animals from cows, to kangaroos, to porcupines, to camels, goats, llamas. You got to feed them carrots or "feed" and they would eat right out of your hand. They pretty much followed you around as you walked around the area. They were very hungry I guess because their heads went through the fence if they weren't tall enough to go over the top of it. There was also pony rides. There was also a Bar-B-Q competition/cook tour. You could go to the agriculture expo were you could taste different foods but we didn't make it that far, after the pig races, petting zoo and pony rides it was time to get heading home to put the little guy to bed. It was a lot of fun, would have been better if it wasn't 102 degrees outside!
