Fauquier County Fair

We went to the local fair recently to enjoy some activities, games, rides, farm animals and even a bit of competition. Amy, Anna and I all entered items in the fair this year. Anna took 3rd place for her acrylic painting of a dragon. Amy took first for a hat decoration and 5th for a photo she took on Skyline Drive. I took first for a picture I took at Swan Lake in Sumter, S.C. We had Amy’s cousin Emily in town for the weekend with her friend and we all enjoyed walking around the fair and enjoying the sights, sounds and fair food. Click on the thumbnail below to see some pictures I took.

Below is a video of Anna and I on Anna’s first ever amusement ride, the Spinning Dragons.

Since Anna enjoyed her first spinning ride she wanted another, so we went on the Spinning Teacups.

Finally we got on the last spinning ride we could find, the Spinning Hearts. This actually got a little air as we lifted off the ground

Pine Knoll Shores

We had a good 4th of July at the beach. The weather was nice and we spent some time in the pool, walking in the sand and playing around in the ocean. We went to Beaufort and saw a local parade and went down to Emerald Isle and saw some fireworks too. Click on the thumbnail below to see some of our pictures from our adventures.

Direct album link if you can’t see the thumbnail.

We had a storm move up along the coast one night. I set up my Canon S5IS with CHDK firmware and attempted to catch some lightning strikes over the ocean. Click the next thumbnail to view what I captured.

Below are a few videos of us at the beach, pool, the fireworks and finally the NC aquarium – click them to play.
