We made our annual trek to the Great State Fair of TEXAS this week! It was a bit wet, but we still had loads of fun. Some of the things we ate were Fletcher's corney dog (duh!), Little Bob's BBQ sandwich (I get EVERY year. This was Jenna's favorite hands down!), fried honey bun (pretty good), Texas nachos, corn on the cob, cheeseburger, fried pecan pie (YUM!), and two "lemon shake-ups" (freshly shook lemonade). I think that might be all. Oh wait, and dippin' dots ice cream.
The kids had a blast! I had a list of stuff I wanted to do and we only made it half way through the list. We let Jacob go to school in the morning so we didn't arrive until 1:45. We stayed for the parade at 7:30 which Jacob loved!
We did visit the Railroad Museum. Jacob loved being in a real train. Plus, it was a safe place for the kids to run...priceless!
Here's Brian and Jacob watching the Pirates. It was a diving show with a pirate theme. When it was over, Jacob kept asking if we could go back and see the pirates! I took a picture of him with the pirates but it was blurry. I had to take our crummy old camera since it was raining. Oh well.
The petting zoo...Jenna BAAAAAed at more goats than I can count. She also baaaed at the cow, ostrich, zebra, etc. I told you she can baaa really well. And of course, she wasn't scared a bit of the animals.
Our one and only family picture from the day.
Jacob and Brian on a ride. They were standing in the back of a fire truck and the were 'shooting' the water out of the hose to the burning building. It was his favorite ride. He also rode the race cars but it was a bit jerky. We were going to do the fun house but it was flooded from all the rain. Jacob also played basketball (which he ROCKED) and did the dart-throw balloon pop game. He won 2 goldfish and a blue puppy.
This is an 'annual' picture. I can't wait to see how big J will be next year!

Oh man - so much fun! I love the fair! I'm not sure if we will make it to the fair this year and I am so bummed. :( Thanks for letting me live vicariously through you!
If we do go, I'll be sure to take a list of all of the things that you did. You're like my own little State Fair of Texas tour guide. Ha!
