Texas State Fair

Did you know the State Fair brought in $37 million in ticket sales alone this year?!?! We went and got out pretty cheap, thanks to free tickets from Mimi and bringing in some food. However, we had a blast!

 J loved Big Tex or "Tex" as he called him!

 We are all suckers for oreos. So, we tried their fried version. J approved!

 Next up, the Bird show! J loved when the birds would fly overhead!

 The airplanes flying overheard were his absolute favorite. :)

                                  And the GIANT African bird...I have never seen a bird so massive.

 Getting in line for the Texas Star.

                                This was J's favorite fair activity, by far! He would say "Up, Up, Up!" So cute!

Love these two more than words can express!

 J got very adventurous!

Needing a little security after all of his climbing. :) 

I am always surprised by what excites our little man. The ferris wheel was a huge hit! 

However, the corny dogs were not.

Normally I am right there with him on resisting the corny dogs. I kept telling him that this was a Fletcher's and it was the best out there. It didn't matter as he had made up his mind, and that is a hard thing to change! 

Puppies... 

I realize he would love a puppy. He can have one as soon as he can feed and walk it! :) 

The pig races were awesome. Do you know they race for an oreo?

J was not very interested in the pig races, but he did enjoy his cookie! 

 The light parade was the second biggest hit of the day.

One more picture with Tex before heading home! What a fun day!
