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!

Hi Dallas!
Cotton Bowl to…
Cotton Candy! 😉

Aw, my home state flag.  Makes me miss my Texas!

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!)
