So, after we witnessed the demise of Big Tex we went on our merry way through the Texas state fair.
Our day included a jumping dog show, a few rides including Katie’s first ride on the Texas Star (huge ferris wheel), the petting farm, chicken fried bacon (oh. my.), corny dogs, cotton candy and lots of walking (me still in my boot).
All in all it was a gorgeous day for time at the fair…
Boys + rides = FUN!
Katie won her first prize at her first ever fair game – magnetic fish!

Ben wasn’t so sure…
Hi Dallas!
Cotton Bowl to…
Cotton Candy! 
Aw, my home state flag. Makes me miss my Texas!
Our family pic in front of where Big Tex used to be!
And my body is still rebelling from all the bad-for-me food. (But seriously, if you ever go you MUST have the Tornado Taters – BEST ever!)
So fun! Love Katie’s outfit.
And you’re such a trooper, hauling that boot with you (glad it’s off!).
Oh how fun! I saw a few of your pics on Instagram (I think) but these are all so great. (LOVE the B&W of the ferris wheel)
Great pictures! Looks like a fun day! This is hilarious but the guy in the blue striped shirt in the first pic looks EXACTLY like my dad from the back. I thought it was my dad at first! So funny
Chicken Fried Bacon??? I’m going to need more information about that.
Also, I want a corn dog.
Looks like a great time!!
Fair food is so awesome. Your post makes me want to run out and find a fair.
Great pictures.
I saw your instagram picture! I can’t believe that burned down! I am now craving a corn dog and am about to google chicken fried bacon…
Looks like so much fun! You got amazing shots!

Gotta love the fair. And you captured it so well! Great pics!
That fair is amazing, it looks like you all had fun! I couldn’t believe that when I saw big tex burning!
Looks like fun! I swear I am the only who hates fair food. The thought of chicken fried bacon makes me ill. Party Pooper!
Your pictures are gorgeous, I love the perspective on each one! Nice work.
I love going to the fair, and can you believe I’ve NEVER been to that one.
We love our state fair! Your pictures are fabulous! SO fun!
I haven’t been to the fair in a long time. Maybe one day I’ll take the kids.
Love all your pictures, looks like you all had fun!
We were in Dallas too… Love your pictures, they are great! Nothing like the State Fair of Texas!!!

So fun!! Love the pictures of the rides, glad you all had a great time!
Great shots!!! That looks like tons of fun
Love these photos! So fun! I’m not so sure about the top of the Ferris Wheel myself.
I can’t believe how much fun you just made the fair look. I didn’t think I was interested, but I am now!
The carousel is so pretty, and I love the angle on the ferris wheel shot. Beautiful.
I’ve never done the Texas state fair…crazy, right?
Love the family picture.
