We spent our day at the State Fair of TX today. Today was opening Sunday, and the crowds weren't bad at all! It was a little hot, but all in all we had the perfect day!
Cade took this one of me and the little ones
Sam putting safety wristbands on the kiddos
traditional Big Tex photo
and again...so upset that Carson hid behind me...didn't even realize he was doing this! ugh!!
ready to have a fun day
car show!
Cade with the Transformer
Camaro
Carson loves that the Transformer symbol was on the wheels!
racing remote control cars at the car show
watching dancers...the girls really got into this!
the dancers
posing with my guys!
playing in the yucky fountain
Sam and I...the State Fair was our first date...the day after we met October 18, 1997...here we are 12 years later, and we have gone each year since then...I think that's kind of cool! ;)
Cade was being a photographer for Mom and Dad, as the little ones played around us
watching the "Sham Wow" demonstration (the absorbent towels from the infomercials)
We were sold!!
the girls proud of our new "Sham Wows"
Sam in the new 360 "Z"
Cade and I sharing a caramel apple...not sure why I'm making the
weird face!
getting sleepy midway though our adventure!
Food and Fiber Pavilion...my all time fave!
Cade and the TX Tech watermelon
Elsie was celebrating her b-day!
Carson petting the baby
Sam and his fair treat...a pickle...always healthy!! ;)
the dog show
watching the dog show
dog show
Car testing out a saddle
a GIANT pig!! He
weighed 1,100 lbs.!
petting zoo...Emma and Carson
feeding the camel
heading to the midway....our last stop!
the kids chose to do the fun house...it was 50 tickets, or $25 for everyone to go...this proved to be the only "ride" they did!! So pricey!!
fun in the fun house!
the girls were a little nervous! They held tight to Daddy!!
the boys came out of the fun house covered in bubbles!
fun times!
Daddy and the girls
this looked kind of good to me, but I passed!
This was the "scary house" ride that I used to LOVE as a kid...exactly the same as it was 25 years ago! Nobody would go on it with me! :(
Our last stop was a game on the Midway that we didn't win! By this point the little ones were BEAT and all wanted to win a prize! However, no more $ was to be spent, so we quickly made an exit and ended our fun day at the fair! We'll be back next year!!
