The State Fair of Texas

To me, fall does not begin until we make our annual trip to the State Fair! I love everything about it, the food, the rides, the games and the car show! And who can forget about the fabulous people watching! It has been so much fun introducing this tradition to Olivia, and now Jack! We lucked out this year and had GORGEOUS weather! It was so much fun I am ready to go back again!


Every year Denny makes Olivia sit in a Jeep, since that is his "dream" car! He has pushed it on Olivia since she could talk!
Olivia used to be on board with this idea, however, she has recently decided that a Jeep is too dangerous and she wants a minivan because it's safer!!! Those were the words literally right out of her mouth! Love that girl!

I have to say, this particular minivan almost made me rething owning one. It was really appealing to Denny since he loves the idea of a conversion van (yuck!).

Olivia played her first game on her own at the fair this year!

And here is her prize!

She looks scared here, but she ended up loving it!

And her favorite, the teacups!

And just in case we didn't eat enough at the fair, we went to Chuy's for dinner!

We had one sleepy one on the way home!

We had such a fun day and look forward to our next visit with Big Tex!

It looks like you all had a lot of fun. We may have to make it there this year. And I loved Olivia's signs for Daddy's b-day. She is growing so fast.
