maryland state fair




baby pigs at the "birthing center" and a baby goat flehman-ing. so cute. 

we went to the largest candy store ever, where they had fireballs (my favorite!). i got a deep fried snickers bar for the first time....and probably the last. you just can't beat a good old fashioned funnel cake. saw a lot of animals (also my favorite!). and rode the big metal centrifuge that spins and sticks you to the side of the cage. i love the fair!

zooomerang

i recently attended the annual black tie affair at the zoo. even the camels wore bow-ties. we ate fantastic food from local restaurants, and danced the night away. it was entirely exciting seeing people not only out of their uniforms but so dressed up. i wish i took more pictures, but was enjoying myself too much to remember to pull out my camera.
