Oh, yes we did.

We promise each other each time that that will be the last, but somehow, some small children convince us that we need to go again...to the State Fair of Texas!!  They know how to sweet talk us.
 
 This time we went on the actual fair day they had as a school district.  The day started out rainy and cold, but by the time we got there, the sun was out, and it was great.  Not too cold or hot or wet.  And the crowds weren't bad until the afternoon.
  
Here are some pictures for your enjoyment:

What kid of crazy fair food do my kids choose?  Nachos, hot dogs, and fresh fruit.  We live on the edge.
 
Watermelon--yum!

The rebuilt Big Tex

Some crazy animals

For some reason, they don't have photo ops with six openings.

Gracie, is there something you need to tell us?

Someday we'll brave the ferris wheel.  Benson seems to be a bit worn out.
Who knew Dumbo comes to Texas?
We can't go to the fair without attending the World on a String puppet show.  I can quote most of it for you.

 And, for fun:

World on a String, 2008

Happily Ever After

I changed the display of family pictures on our wall.  If you want to see it better (it is hard to take pictures of pictures when the opposite wall is lots of windows!), just come on over.  Any time.  The door is always open.  Just for you.  We'll keep the light on.
