Deep Fried Oreos

Also while we were visiting my family (it was a jam packed week), we went to Freedom Weekend Aloft. This is an annual event in the Upstate SC where many hot air balloons are launched. There were over 130 balloons I believe, and when we were there (Sunday), they were launched in 2 batches. Here's just one sample photo, but I'd encourage you to look at the variety of balloons that there were.
I think the real highlight, however, was that one of the many junk food stands was selling deep fried Oreos. This is a fantastic American invention. Oreo cookies are coated in a funnel cake batter and then deep fried and finally coated with powdered sugar.
The Oreo in the center comes out no longer crunchy, but not overly soft. I'd say they are just right and very delicious. Here's a picture of the inside of Kevin's Oreo:
Kevin also managed to take a picture of Rebekah, me, Crystal, and Brian. The two (as of Thursday June 14th) engaged couples, with an eerie alien glow from the Goo Goo Dolls concert we were eavesdropping on.
