We decided that it was about time for us to become full fledged Texans and go to our first state fair. We got up early, just as the sun was coming up and hurried the girls into the car. I groaned because it was COLD. There were gray clouds covering the sun and cool, steady wind. I headed back into the house and grabbed some extra shirts just in case it didn't burn off. We were heading north and that probably meant things would be even colder.
It took us 3 1/2 hours to finally reach Dallas with only one stop for coffee and allergy medicine. The kids played games, talked, sang, painted and colored all the way there.
As you can see in the first picture, we were met with even more gray clouds, a stiff wind and even a sprinkling of rain. Temperature: 76F. Kate insisted on wearing her sunglasses and my new shirt. She thought she was pretty awesome, and I have to admit, she can pull it off!
Uncle Howell met us at the fair, and Reagan told him all of her favorite things as we munched on cheese pizza, chicken tenders and curly fries. I skipped the deep fried butter that the stands were offering and also the deep fried beer, deep fried Dr. Pepper and deep fried Coke. The clouds burned soon after noon, but it still wasn't warm enough for the jackets to come off. The girls alternated between curling up in the stroller with the blankets that I had brought and running in order to keep warm.
We decided to take a break, and the girls found these chairs to most useful! Georgie didn't know what to think about the ostrich, but I think the ostrich knew EXACTLY what to think about her.
