Fair Day!

Yesterday we loaded up and headed to the State Fair of Texas! The weather was pretty chilly (for Texas that is!) and drizzly so we didn't stay to long. Just long enough to visit our favorite spots (the petting zoo, Peter the Great, Big Tex, the car building, the bird show and a ride for Emmy) and of course to eat our favorite fried foods! Here are the foods we tried this year and my rating of them...

Fried Peaches and Cream- A++++!!! These were so delicious!!! They were individually fried peach slices that you dipped in a sweet cream sauce... it tasted alot like peach cobbler.
Fried Guacamole Balls-C :( We had these last year and I remembered them tasting yummy. This year I think they had been fried for awhile because the fried part was kind of chewy and gross. Oh well!
Fried Cookie Dough-A+++++!!! How can you go wrong here?! :)

One of the new foods this year was Fried Butter. I thought about trying them but didn't want to waste my tickets on something I might not like... maybe next year! Oh and for those of you who haven't heard about the Fried Butter... they take a golfball size scoop of butter dipped in batter and then deep fry it. There are several different flavors...one of them being garlic. Sounds like a tasty heart-attack waiting to happen!!! :)

We had such a great time! Enjoy the pics!


This is a pic of Emma last year at the fair...
And here she is in the same flower this year!!! Amazing how fast they grow in a year! (Both children and flowers...haha! It's late can you tell?! :) )
Our fam in front of Big Tex :)
Sweet Coltyboy slept the whole time we were there! Thanks for the warm knit hat Mamaw!
We went and looked at all of the new cars while it rained outside. Emmy had a great time running around

We thought Em might enjoy a ride this year... so we picked some little boats that went around in a circle of water. She sat looking like this the majority of the ride... stiff and straight as can be clutching the side :)
Looking a little happier!
Ahhh Peter the Great :) (he's a giant bull in case you can't tell) Emma really loved him and kept wanting to pet his nose
The petting zoo was great this year! They had some different looking animals including this fellow... I think it was a llama with a poodle hairdo?! Makes me laugh every time I look at him! hahaha
Then there was this little guy... bless his heart!! haha! I went to feed him some corn and was caught off-guard by his little dentures...ha!
The camel was quite friendly!
Admiring the Grand Champion Pig :)

Alrighty... I'm off to sew some more dresses for the craft fair next weekend! As promised I'll post about those later! Have a great Friday everyone!
