State Fair of Texas

We finally visited the State Fair of Texas, after living in Dallas for almost 5 years! We went first thing in the morning and spent a good four hours exploring the petting zoo, livestock, concession, and the midway.

Farm Simulation for Kids

Meet Farmer Evie!

 Collecting eggs from the hens.

Harvesting vegetables

Earned $1 for all her hard work.

She spent her dollar on fruit snacks from the general store.

Petting Zoo

Sally the camel has one hump....

Baby giraffe

There was a zebra 2 inches away from Evie,

yet all she wanted was the shovel!

She went around looking for all of the shovels....

Here goat, want my shovel?

Not so sure she wanted the goat to touch her.

Although, it was okay for HER to pet the goat.

Moo! Cow!

Mother Goose!

Enjoying the show

Concession Stands

The top two awards this year went to:

fried beer as most creative new menu item and

fried Frito Chili Pie for best taste.

Last year Oprah visited the State Fair of Texas to eat fried butter.

We went simple. with a classic "Fletcher's Corny Dog."

It is debated that the Fletchers "invented" the corn dog in the 1940's.

We realized that Mr. Fletcher was enjoying a Corny Dog in his golf cart right next to us.

Farewell until next year!

Big Tex, the emblem of the fair.

Sky ride

That ride looks very scary!!!!!

Evie fell asleep immediately.

Flower Mound Pumpkin Patch

I've been hearing all about the Flower Mound Pumpkin Patch, so we decided to check it out today. They had bounce houses, carnival food, hayrides, train rides, horses, and of course pumpkins. It was not disappointing, but it WAS very crowded!

A Package from Grandma Deb!

When we arrived home from school, a package all the way from Atlanta was waiting on the front porch for Evie! Grandma Deb had fun buying Evie a winter wardrobe. Once I opened the box, I let Evie dive in. She carefully pulled out each piece of clothing. I can't wait for the weather to cool down so Evie can wear her winter clothes.

Ready for the snow!

Filling up the empy box with toys. This is Evie's new "thing." She likes to put things inside of things.

We figured, she must have learned how to clean up at school.

Moving the box

Trying to put her clothes back in!

Ice

Judd and I have noticed that Evie knows exactly what to do with ice. She started sucking on it and chewing it! She found this very entertaining!

Afternoon Snack

Such a big girl, Evie can sit in a chair at her table!
