State Fair of Texas

Yesterday we made the trek to the Big D to go to the State Fair.  I hadn't been in at least ten years, so it brought back great memories of my childhood.  We parked on the midway side and part of me was dying to jump on some of those rides.  Jeremiah and I got a good laugh when we talked about a memories from attending some county fairs as kids.  We met mom, dad, and Amanda there.  Logan had to work, poo.  Braddock was a trooper and rode in the stroller well all day. 

We saw a little petting zoo where Braddock was interested in petting the goats and the calves.  But he was mostly interested in just walking along the fence.  He's entered the "I want down" stage.

The majority of our time (and money) went toward taste testing.  We had fried chocolate covered strawberries, pork chop on a stick, turkey legs, chili cheese fries, multiple corny dogs, corn on the cob, wine, beer, and the not to soon be forgotten fried Thanksgiving dinner.  And I say we because anytime we bought something to eat it was inevitably on a stick so it was easy to share.  Mom made the observation that there was something tribal about the way we took a bite and passed it around in a circle, haha.  Here are pictures of some of our finds.

What a great day we had with fun people and beautiful weather!  Thanks Mom and Dad, and Amanda - the wonder nanny!
