Big Tex welcomes us to the fair
We made it down shortly after opening, so it wasn't too hot or too crowded, which was very nice. We started things off by taking the boys to the animal pavilion. Just as we were expecting, the boys were terrified of anything bigger than the little chicks. Grant was so terrified of the llamas that he literally wet his pants (which ran out onto Dad's shirt)!

Of course, a big part of going to the fair is the fried food. Here's a small sample of some of the things we found:
Believe it or not, the fried butter was the biggest attraction! We didn't try that one, but I can tell you that you haven't lived till you've sampled the divine goodness that is the fried snickers!!! Our favorite though was what was called "Pork Chips." It was fried thin shaved pig. Sooooo tastey!
We capped the day off by letting Andrew ride some of the cheap little carnival rides, which he loved.

I don't know if we'll go back (it was insanely pricey) but all in all we had a great time at the Texas State Fair!

I love the state fair!! Blake was too little this year to really enjoy anything, so we didn't go this year. It is definitely in the plans for next year though! We should go together and try as many fried foods as we can! :)
