Vacation

Last week, we took a mini vacation for our daughter's 7th birthday.  We started out at the state fair and ended with camping.  We had such a great time and the weather was so beautiful and perfect.

We went to the state fair on Thursday and everyone enjoyed themselves.  After spending some time at the fair we went to Pullen Park and rode the train and carousel.  The kids also enjoyed playing.

We spent the evening with my husband's brother.  The next morning, we headed out to the NC Zoo.  We arrived at the zoo around lunch time, so we had our picnic lunch before going in.  We had a great time walking all over and seeing all of the animals.

After the zoo, we headed to Badin Lake and camped out for the night.  It was kind of primitive as they did not have electricity at the sites, but they did have hot showers and flush toilets near the campsites.  It was beautiful.  Our site was right on the lake.  The kids loved building a fire that night and sleeping in the tent.

The birthday girl also lost a tooth while on vacation!  Overall, we had a great vacation and can't wait to do it again!
