Spring Fling 2015

On Friday night, Vince & I took the boys downtown to the bike races that kick off Spring Fling.  I won tickets and a t-shirt to my work's booth that had free catered food from Cribb's.  Yum!  They had two platters of pickles, so Evan and Alex were in heaven.  They love pickles more than any other food on the planet. 

This year was the first time that my parents got to go with us to Spring Fling.  Vince and I went on one of our first dates to Spring Fling in downtown Spartanburg over 7 years ago.  I remember we ate chicken on a stick.  On Saturday, I talked my mom into trying deep fried Oreo cookies for the first time.  She liked them!  I think my dad liked them, too.  They are one of my favorite fair foods. It was very crowded this year and we don't like to stand in long lines much (who does??).  All of the food vendors were packed with people, so I think their profits were way up this year. 

The boys rode in their double stroller and saw the Budweiser Clydesdale horses when we first arrived.  They were beautiful horses and very large.  We also visited the Spartanburg Regional medical tent to say hi to my coworkers.  The rides were not for infant/toddlers so we just breezed past the kiddie ride section and strolled through the vendor booths.  I'm glad they had such a great turn out this year.
