State Fair 2009

Yesterday we went for our annual trip to the State Fair of Texas. The day went by so quickly! We got to the fair a little before 11 and seemingly in a blink of an eye it was already 6. As I think I have mentioned in previous blog entries regarding the fair, the main reason I enjoy going is the food...and boy did I have some food! I saved calories all morning so that I could enjoy a Fletcher's corn dog, cotton candy, fried cookie dough, a turkey leg, and some Texas tator twisters. I only got a tiny bite of the cookie dough and turkey leg, since those are Trenton's favorites :o)

Kendall got to go on her first ever carnival ride - a few of them actually. She barely made the height requirement for a couple rides, but I'm not sure she really enjoyed the thrill much anyway - she will likely be more like daddy in the way of rides. I'm hoping Leah will be more like me, or else I will be going to Six Flags alone :oP Although, in her defense, even the baby rides pull some G's I think...my bottom is bruised today and I think I have wip-lash! This is not so uncommon for me - I still have random neck issues that I believe began with the Poteet Strawberry Festival of 2001...

I think Leah had a good time...she slept for most of the day, but woke up for one or two good photo-opportunties with Mommy. We had an interesting time putting the double stroller into numberous configurations that I don't believe are correct (yikes)...we had to be creative because the front seat that we've been using for Kendall can't recline for a nap with the baby in the back...so we swapped...it was interesting...we'll just leave it at that. No one fell out and CPS was not called, so all in all it was a productive experience I would say.

As with each trip, we had to visit the butterfly gardens...ironically we spent so much time in the 'park' area that we didn't even make it to the more butterfly-filled area, but I still got some cute pictures.

Kendall can never run fast enough for Mommy's camera...

    I am glad that everyone enjoyed the fair; the pic are so cute and all the info that you share make it super fun to read and relate! When I was Much Younger, that was the MOST exciting time of the year! Goin' to the STATE FAIR with Mom and Dad......yeah! I wasn't too thrilled with some of the rides back then....like Mother, like Trenton? Hugs, MiMi

    What a fun day. Kendall is so cute when she scowls. I love the closeup of her with you. You are both beautiful.
