Big Tex

My good friend Beth and I decided to take our kids to the State Fair of Texas. Yes, we may be crazy dragging 4 kids through the crowds, but the weather was perfect and the whole experience was so worth it! We rode the Texas Star (ferris wheel), let the kids explore the petting zoo, checked out the yummy fair food and watched the kids have a blast on the rides. They all did great and made the day one of the highlights of the season!

Howdy Big Tex!

Audrey was not afraid of any of the animals. She would go right up to anything and stick her hand straight in the cage!

Ella liked the cows and the donkeys.

Out of 10 pictures, this was the best one of the kids!

They had a hands on farm that taught the kids about growing vegetables, milking cows, picking fruit, etc. The kids had so much fun being real farmhands!

You would have thought Audrey had experienced no joy ever in her life. She could not get enough of this boat ride! All smiles the whole time!

The big kids on the airplanes!

And to end the day, the perfect fair food, cotton candy. Poor Beth had this all over her car by the time we made it back home!

Can't wait til next year!
