Big Tex and the State Fair

It's become a tradition for our family to venture out to the State Fair of Texas and stuff ourselves silly with all the delicious fair food. This year was no different, that's for sure. It was raining a little when we arrived, but that didn't stop us. We took our yearly picture in front of Big Tex (Eli's favorite part of the whole fair) and with Elsie the Cow. We tried some of the new fried delicacies featured this year, and by my vote, the fried grilled cheese topped them all. The chicken fried bacon ran a close second. The boys enjoyed looking at the animals; Peter the Great, a 2000+ lb bull was quite impressive. Eli got to ride the Dragon Wagon, a kid roller coaster, once with mommy and later with daddy. He had a blast just walking through the midway. Some college kid gave him a giant Spiderman that he had won and didn't want to take home. He's played with that thing nonstop. We capped off the day with the nightly parade and light show. All in all, it was a great time and wonderful first fair for Sam. Until next year, Big Tex...
