Texas State Fair

My parents were in town the same time as the Texas State Fair

was happening. Russell and I went once before, but he was little

and we didn't stay very long. So we dragged my parents down to

the fair grounds to check it out. Don't think we are huge fans of it, 

but we had a good time. Russell did not want to leave!

We spent most of our time looking at the vehicles. 

The Russells could have stayed there for a long time!

Two Russells together are very strong!

Russell found some fancy cars to drive!

Found a mammoth to hang out with... 

(at this point Russell decided he wanted to leave

and go to the zoo. Luckily that temper tantrum

ended fairly quickly.)

Sitting so still to get a ghost painted on his cheek

So many turtles and fish! I was afraid Russell

was going to fall into the water.

Checking out an artistic spider... Russell was concerned

that it may have been real.

Russell would have spent all the tickets on ride.

Next time we will have to go when the rides are

cheaper!!

Got a yummy rainbow popsicle 

Driving a tractor!

They had this cool exhibit where you did a day at a 

farm. They got to plant seeds and 'harvest' the fruits

and veggies from it.

Take the food in their tractor and feed some 

to the animals.

They even got to milk a cow. At the end they

sold all their produce and got a ticket for some

ice cream. Definitely a highlight of the day!

I've always heard amazing things about the food at

the fair. Don't know if it was just being pregnant, but 

everything just smelled like oil. We were not impressed.

Maybe we need someone more experienced to point out

what to eat there?
