blue ribbons and pie.

we went to the oregon state fair over the weekend with our friends, sam and blair. 

we strolled through the 4H booths and tried to not gag over the smell of the prize sheep, cows, pigs, cows, and horses. (city slickers.)  we admired pretty quilts and drooled over blue ribbon pies. we skipped the over priced/sketchy rides, but indulged with carni food with graham trying the turkey legs (hello sodium!) and i with a corn dog and deep fried peanut butter and jelly sandwich. yes, only at the fair is it socially acceptable to eat anything and everything deep fried.  in fact, i'm still curious about the deep fried pepsi. what/how/why?

it was the perfect end-of-the-summer activity.
