Friday evening we took my mom to the State Fair, it was our first time too! Our third year in Texas, but we haven't gone yet because the first year I was 9 months pregnant and Soren was born. The second year I was too sick with my Crohn's disease to have any desire to go.
We picked Richard up from work and then rode the train down. We didn't get there until about 6, so the shows were wrapping up so all we did was walk around and eat lots of fried food (let's be honest, that was the real reason we were there anyway).
We did catch the last Ostrich race (unfortunately, it was not nearly as cool as it sounded).
The fair takes place wrapped around the Cotton Bowl.
We intended to take pictures of all the food we ate, but we were too excited to eat it and forgot most of the time. We had (all fried) avocado fries (nasty), fried frito pie (SOOO GOOD!), fried oreos, fried spinach dip, picnic on a stick (chicken, pickles and tater tots), funnel cake. After all the fried food we all needed a drink and something cool. So we got a fresh lemonade and some ice cream. The ice cream was really gross so we ended up giving it to Soren. HA!
"Big Tex" is the icon of the state fair. He burned down last year, so this year they had a brand new one.
