State Fair of Texas

Ferris Wheel

Every year we go to the State Fair of Texas and this year was no exception.  There was no way I was going to miss it this year. I wasn’t able to go last year because I was on bed rest with the twins.  I begged my OB to let me go last year, I promised I would go in a wheel chair or that I would just go in, get a Fletcher’s corny dog and leave…and still no! So I made sure I went and got a picture this year, with 2 boys in tow, of course.

This was the boys’ first year to attend and hopefully in the future they will look forward to going each year as much as their momma.  We decided to go one night after work so when we got to the fair grounds around dinner time and were ready to roll ( sniffing out the Fletcher’s corny dog stand all the while).

After visiting Big Tex we walked around a while before going to visit the animals, which they loved, especially Ian.  While walking around, we found a giant elephant and let the boys play around on it for a little bit.

We were walking by just as the parade was starting so we stopped and let the boys watch it before heading out.  A great time was had at the fair this year and can’t wait until next year when the boys are a little more aware of what’s going on.

Here are some pictures of the boys from the fair.  Pay no attention to the random people in any of the photos, in a place that busy its inevitable that you will get some random person in the shot.
