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:
