We look forward to the State Fair all year, and today was finally the day! The boys were so excited.
First, we tried out a few rides. After a disastrous attempt at a little rollercoaster we THOUGHT was a relatively gentle one that turned out to be quite spinny, jolty and rough (Cody was NOT happy), we chose to stick with the simple pleasures of monster trucks that go around in a slow, small circle.
And then Jackson used his awesome pitching skills to pop some balloons with a hacky sack (yep), and he won...a banana.
See the resemblance? Jacks named him Banana Fred (instead of banana BREAD...get it?).
Jackson, Luke and I rode the giant ferris wheel, the Texas Star. It's SOOOOOOOOO big!
Check out the view from the top! Hello Downtown Dallas!
Lukey said, "Hey look, we can see the Eiffel Tower!" To Luke, all tall skinny towers are the Eiffel Tower. :)
It was a fun ride! Even Banana Fred loved it.
Though we always enjoy the corn dogs, pretzels, funnel cake and cotton candy, we usually avoid any of the deep-fried options the fair is known for.
Seriously? Fried chicken skin? Who thought that was a good idea? EW.
We said howdy to Big Tex.
We visited the car show and the dog show, and we checked out some beautiful quilts and a life-size lady and her cow carved out of butter. Wow! That's not something you see every day!
We always have fun at the fair!

you skip all the deep fried stuff? You don't know what your missing! Cheese curds deep fried are to die for! Though this year there was deep fried butter on a stick...that did cross the line I think :)
Well, I can get behind a fried Snickers bar or fried Oreo. But yeah, fried butter? Fried bubblegum? Fried cherry Kool-Aid balls? (I don't even know what that is!)
Strangely, they don't offer fried cheese curds at the TX State Fair. LOL
