State Fair of TX


Wow, I'm very behind on my blog and especially this post! We went to the State Fair almost 2 weeks ago and had so much fun!!! We've found that Wednesdays are great days to go; you get in for a $1 with 3 canned goods and the crowds are not bad at all. We were there from about 11am to 4:30pm and to say the least full and exhausted by time we left. We did just about everything we could there, saw the animals, ate, did a few rides and games, ate, checked out the crafts people were selling...did I mention eating?! And yes, we tried it this year...fried butter! It was like a donut hole with honey on the outside and butter on the inside, actually very good.
Trent had a really good time over in the animal area. We walked through the petting zoo, watched a dog show and he went through the little farm area. He walked through and would water plants then take what "grew" and then would feed animals and take what they produce like eggs from chickens and milk from cows. At the very end they would sell what they got along the way, which was just putting everything in the correct basket and then they would receive some fake money. From there they walked through the store and got to buy a snack. It really was a very cool concept and a lot of fun!!
From there we went through Midway and played some games and Trent rode a motorcycle ride. It was hilarious because there was a button the kids could push to make a very very annoying noise and within seconds of being on his motorcycle Trent was the first kid to find it. From there, a few others started pushing their button but not nearly as long as Trent did. He also played a few games and won a little stuffed dog. Kelly, Trent and I all went through a fun house there too. Trent fell when the floor started spinning but it did phase him at all. After we were done he tried running through it again!!
Overall everything was great, the weather was a little cool but we got to do and see everything we wanted to do and I cannot wait for next year as I know it will be even more fun with the boys getting older every year!
