As is tradition, we made our annual trip to the State Fair of Texas this fall. We only had one weekend day to spare, so we were determined to make it work despite rain in the forecast. It was muggy as all get out, but the rain stayed away long enough for us to enjoy a wonderful day at the fair.
First thing on the list: take a picture with Big Tex.
But don't let this happy photo fool you...the ones below better depict how things went. #SixGoingOnSixteen
We quickly found the midway for games and rides before it got too hot outside.
Who needs a growth chart at home when you have annual State Fair height pics?!
It's a good thing one of their parents isn't afraid of heights.
Of course we enjoyed a plethora of fair food items, from breakfast to dinner.
I had to get my favorite Cuban Rolls.
And I also tried a few new items: Fried Chicken & Waffles, Fried Texas Hill Country (a fried green tomato stuffed with mozzarella and topped with honey and a balsamic glaze), a wine flight at Trio, and Fried Peanut Butter & Jelly.
They were all good, but the fried PB&J was out of this world delicious. I'm still dreaming about it.
We didn't see any shows this year, but we did explore the grounds a bit and of course made time for the petting zoo (which was in a much larger and air conditioned building this year...hallelujah!) and the Little Hands on the Farm exhibit.
It was a very long, very sweaty, very filling, and very fun day. #FairDaySuccess
See you next year, Big Tex!
