Our State Fair is a Great State Fair

Friday was Jordan's first trip to the Great State Fair of Texas
in Dallas. Jordan seemed to have a good time, though he was definitely ready to go at the end of the day. While we were watching the US Marine Corps Drum and Bugle Corps play, Jordan asked to be put in his stroller, and then said, "Bye, bye."

So, we were done.

We met up with Grandma and Grandpa (who also chose Oct. 5 to go) and ate lunch (yep, corn dogs were required fare at the fair). We visited the Children's Medical Center petting zoo, visited the food exhibit (lots of delicious native Texan food), then (Dad's favorite), the auto show.

At the petting zoo, we bought food for Jordan to feed the animals with. What was funny to watch was Jordan getting real brave to feed the animals, right up until they came up to him then he jumped back, laughed because he scared himself, but then kept his hands well on his side of the fence. Too fun.

Here are some pics from the day:














(Yeah, we saw the OU trailer and truck, too, but, really, who cares?)















Jordan was convinced every animal he saw: goats, kangaroos, pigs, emus; were all cows.














Hey! This goat is eating my food!














Wow, you're kinda tall.














The rest of the Longhorn 18-wheeler. The OU one was around there somewhere.

I went to the Coosa Valley Fair last week, but it's just not the same. There's nothing like the Texas State Fair. I got a great corn dog and caramel apple! No great Native Texas food, though. :):):)

Somehow the Coosa Valley Fair just sounds like something the Dukes of Hazard used to go to. :)
