State Fair of Texas!

Although I have never thought the State Fair of Texas can quite compare to the MN State Fair, the kids still love it and it's fun to walk around and eat bad food, see stinky animals, and ride on unsecure fair rides!

At the entrance, there was a short line for free rides on little motorized cars. Madelyn and Marek raced around the track like pros!

Focus . . .

Rubbernecking . . .

We headed straight for the food carts and grabbed some turkey legs, corn dogs and other fried foods on a stick . . .

Letting our food digest in the shade . . .

We wanted to eat before we went in to pet the dirty animals!

The piglets were their favorite of all the animals! They were so hyper - reminded me of Marek!

Here's some video of those crazy little piglets . . .

Posing briefly for the camera . . .

The last stop of the day was the rides . . . these seemed safe enough . . .

The caterpillar ride (or whatever it's called) started off slow . . .

Daddy and Marek

Maddie was a couple cars behind daddy and held on like a big girl (next to the girl with her arms up) . . .

The ride started going faster and faster and Madelyn was squished up against the girl next to her!

I couldn't even see poor little Marek anymore. . .

The last ride we went on was the airplanes . . . daddy and Marek were a plane in front of Mads and me.

Daddy opening fire on us . . .

Who's driving this plane?!

My sweet boys. :)

All in all it was a fun family day!
