Texas State Fair


Our family has not been to the fair since Lacy was about 5 or 6 and Micayla was in a stroller. This year we were blessed to get free tickets for the entire family AND free parking, so we all went. We had so much fun just being together and doing something with little time constrants attached. Even the baby was impressed and kept quite enamourated the entire 7 hours. By the end of the day we were SO tired, as you can see in some of the pictures, it will remain one of our fondest memories.

Some things we will remember about the fair:

Daddy dancing in the street with his girls...
Big Tex
King Tut
$5.00 Corny Dogs (good, but $5.00?!!)
Fried Cheesecake (again, $5.00)
The ride called The Extreme (we didn't ride it but it was exciting just watching it...a $15.00 ride)
Heart shaped waterfall
The nice carnie who gave Shaelyn a free win and a free prize at the water shooter game
Lacy couldn't ride anything...bummer
Mom and Shaelyn on the Spaceship Ride (another $5.00...per person!)

Ok, the fair has really gotten expensive over the past 10+ years, but it was worth it for all of the great memories.
