This post is a little late, but all the pictures were on my dad's camera so I had to get them from him. Anyway we made our yearly trip to the Texas State Fair this year on opening weekend. It has been a long time since I have had to go on a weekend. Usually Keller ISD gets a day off of school during October so I just go then, but this year no days off. Randy was at the deer lease, so Riley, Alex, mom, dad, Papaw, & Nemo loaded up and headed out there opening weekend. It was the warmest day in October, but we enjoyed the sunshine.
Alex and I found a fan to cool off in front of.
Riley thinks that every year we have to drive the cars, even though he has a bigger Gator at home!
Riley & Gampa "at the farm"
This year the kids area wasn't too crowded so Riley got to learn all about being a farmer. It was really pretty neat you get seeds, plant your seed, water them, & feed the grain to play animals. Then at the end you take your products to market and they give you play money. The best part was he got to cash in his play money for a real snack! He picked the trail mix. Then even better he got a sample of the Dreyer's dots ice cream. Wish they would have given me some!
Riley & Nemo having lots of fun!
Papaw loves having the kids around, even when they are pouting

Then Alex got to try her first cotton candy. YUM! She loved it, of course!
Just as we were about to leave we spotted these paddle boat swans. So even though it was past bedtime, we took a spin around the lake. Nemo & I found out this can be HARD work!
Overall we had a great day complete with Fletcher's corny dogs, Borden Milk, and cotton candy. There is nothing like fair food!
