Texas State Fair Day 2. Part 1.

My family has a tradition of going to the fair.

Every year. Mom, dad, me and little sister Liz.

I think we've missed maybe a year of my 26 years.

And of course we've added our significant others

and now my little girl.

We  have always grabbed donuts and drinks before hand

And gather at the Lagoon as early as we can manage.

This year, that wasn't until almost noon

because of the dart insanity. And the UT OU game.

Fun Fun Fantastic Times.

"It's crazy in here"

In the hole.

Mashed in-between UT and OU fans

Kenzie was passed out in the next car in Opa's arms.

Finally at the Lagoon.

Way past donut and milk hour.

Knock Knock.

The little hands farm.

They pick up fruits, veggies, wool, feed the chickens etc.

Then they're given a play dollar when they 'sell' their findings at the market

and get to pick a little snack with the dollar. She got fruit snacks.

Paying.

Texas State Fair-Day 1.Part 2.

Fletcher's Corny Dog. A must.

My favorite float of the parade.

she loved it. And waved at everyone.

She loves to vroom vroom.

Playing in the midway.

She won this dog, and a bouncy ball.

The dog is actually pretty good quality

for a fair prize.

Funnel Cake. YUM.

It was a great day at the fair

We all had lots of fun!

Texas State Fair- On my birthday.

Day 1.Part 1.

There were already plans to go to the fair

with my parents, sister and sister's fiance Michael.

But on my birthday, I made a last minute decision

about what I'd like to do for the day....

I wanted to go to the fair, I couldn't wait another moment.

It was the perfect day to go.

Overcast, barely a crowd.

I enjoyed it so much!

And because of the lack of crowds

Kenzie was able to walk around some.

On days like the second day we went,

it's just SO overly crowded.  She'd probably get trampled on.

Snuggled in ready to go.

First time I tried pigtails with Kenzie's teeny amount of hair.

Rode the skyway across the fair and back.

Big Tex and my favorites.

The craft tent. This is usually PACKED.

I should have gotten a picture the second day we were there.

I know the vendors probably didn't like it,

but I was finally able to actually look and enjoy.

Pig Races.

Checkin out the animals.

Texas State Fair, Oh how I Love you.

Yesterday was my birthday,

and I had THE BEST day.

My hubby got me a polaroid instant camera

I've been dying to have one!

Pictures to come.

And we went to the fair,

it was an overcast, cool day

only sprinkled a little...

and best of all...

the crowds were sparse :)

I've got lots more pictures to share.

And overdue posts about Kansas....

More soon.
