Texas State Fair

We actually made a trip to the fair this year! We went on Saturday with Russell, Joyce and Channing. After about an hour of waiting in line for parking, we finally arrived around 3:00. We stayed until almost 8:30, so we definitely got some good hours at the fair. We took the girls to this Little Hands activity where they wore aprons and carried buckets. They had to follow directions and harvest crops, milk cows, and then turn in their goods for money that they used to buy treats. Of course, it was all pretend. Campbell and Channing both followed directions very well - it was pretty cute! At the end they each got to pick 2 packs of crackers and/or cookies with their "earnings", and then we all got a free ice cream bar for completing the tasks. We walked around to see different booths, including the Borden's cows. Of course the girls enjoyed seeing any animals that we could find. We also watched the pig races, but sadly we missed the dancing dog show. After we each ate our "dinner" of choice.....corny dog for Missy and Joyce, Turkey Leg for Russell and Channing, and a hamburger for Matt (Campbell only had crackers since she actually THREW UP right before we started eating - that was lovely!)....we all were very selective of the FRIED dessert that we felt obligated to try. We all chose Fried S'mores - YUM YUM!! They were excellent! I'll probably try Fried Snickers next year! I will say that Chicken Fried Bacon must have been pretty good, because the line was out of control for those!! Of course, Matt can't resist some good cotton candy, so we all shared a bag of cotton candy while watching the parade that night. It was really pretty since it wasn't until dark and all the floats were lit up. We then walked around and watched some of the CRAZY rides that they have, but none of us ventured to try any. So...although it was not a cheap outing, we had a really good time!

Here Campbell is petting the baby Borden cow....I forgot his name! Also, we had to get a picture of Matt and I trying our FRIED treats!

I love this pictures of the girls being silly in the stroller together!
