The State Fair of Texas

In a year of firsts, another. In October, Sarah experienced her first State Fair of Texas. Her parents have attended the fair every year since 1990, so this was a special day in that Ripkenesque string of consecutive visits. Below, Sarah bites into her first corney dog.




We just don't go to the Fair for a few hours, we make a day of it. Sarah test drove some cars in the Centennial Building, visited Big Tex (below), sampled ice cream in the Food and Fiber Pavilion, fed animals in the Petting Zoo, and helped daddy buy a ladder in the Grand Place Building.

And of course, Sarah hit the Midway. Some attractions she is still too short to ride; however, she did a few rides, some by herself. Below, Sarah and mommy enjoy a fun ride.
