State Fair

We took the kids to the State Fair in Dallas a few weekends ago. Minus the fact that the place is RIDICULOUSLY expensive it was pretty fun. We went last year and thought we'd make it an annual trip... so we headed up to Dallas to spend the weekend with George's family. We all loaded up and headed to the fair and had a great time. The kids loved the petting zoo.

It was really neat to see God's creativity... Zebras... such cool animals.

These guys were right across from the Zebras... you can only wonder if they sit there thinking "Why Me?! Really, I seriously look like this?"

I think UT should contact me for the rights to this picture... The caption "The Eyes of Texas are Upon You" pretty much sums it up, right?

All the kids had fun at the Little Hands on the Farm exhibit. Cousin Jack is down there as the ram (that's a ram, right?)

Do you ever see a picture of yourself and think... shoot I should have worn my hair up that day. Well that's how I felt after this one. :)

See? I put it up right after that picture above was taken. Haha... This was right before we were taken to the bank in the Midway

We only let the kids ride 2 rides each. They chose the airplane and this car ride. The damage... $24. This is by far the craziest rip off EVER. The rides cost at least $4 each... and the kicker. If your kid wasn't tall enough an adult was allowed to ride with the kid... after paying $4 too. Man... what a joke.

But they loved it ... and had no idea how much they cost and truly didn't throw a fit after we said 'no more'.

We also ate... a Corn Dog, Frito Pie, Shrimp Basket, and tried the Fried PB&J... not a fan.

I had a really cool night time picture of Big Tex... but in my haste to delete other fuzzy pictures I deleted it.... followed by an audible "NOOOOOOOOOOO". We may be taking a couple years off from the fair to allow our bank account to replenish. They have got to make a killing!
