State Fair of Texas

We took a day off work and met some friends at the fair. It was pouring down rain but we were determined to make it work since we promised the kids and already had the day off. We had to take cover for about 10 minutes after we got there but then the sun came out and it ended up being a beautiful day. The kids had a great time. This was our first time to go during the week and I must say it's the way to go. It was way less crowded and hectic. We just can't ever find the time to do everything before we are all exhausted. You really need more than one day at the fair to get it all in. These are a few of the things we did.



Prestley feeding the animals at the petting zoo. Hudsyn didn't want to go near them.



You can't forget about Big Tex.



Fried bubblegum. It's not really bubblegum, just bubblegum flavored. It was YUMMY!



Hudsyn rode one ride and was fine until it started moving. She freaked out a little but then decided she liked it. She started clapping when it was over.

This was Little Hands on the Farm. They get to go around and work on a farm and then collect money (fake of course) to buy something from the store. It was really cute watching Hudsyn try to be one of the big kids.
