The State Fair of Texas

Everything is bigger in Texas, especially the fair. We love the state fair. I've gone just about every year that I've lived here. My mom is somewhat of a fanatic. Anyways, this was the 2nd time that Douglas has been but he was able to appreciate this year.
Douglas rode 3 rides: this airplane, swings, and carousel. He loved them all.
Harrison enjoying the Texas sized sandbox. Isn't he ADORABLE?!?!?!?!

A mini track for the kids. Of course Douglas picked the Lightening McQueen Car.
One of the best parts was this little farm simulation for the kids. They fed chickens, picked peaches, planted seed, and milked a cow. All fake of course.


Douglas loved petting Beauregard, who is Elsies baby. Elsie is Borden Milk's mascot.
Look at the proud little smirk on Douglas' face as the man gets the hook out of the fish. Now look at Douglas' face when the man shows him the fish he caught. I think he is surprised and awed. :-) Pure happiness on both boys' face.

Looks like fun! I'll have to take James there when we get back. We went to the Swiss version of a fair here. I'll post about it later.
Keep the cute pics coming.

Is Douglas getting in with Beauregard? So cute. We want to go this year hopefully we can!

OK, so what fair did you go to. Other than Beauregard, your pictures are totally different. You are nice enough to let your kids ride the rides. We don't even approach that section!
