State Fair Here We Come!

The stars aligned this year for a fun filled family day at the fair. Mat was in town from Colorado and Patty flew in from Amarillo. Luckily Teri was in town too and so we all got to go to the fair together.

Mayme and Vin in front of Big Tex.

A clever storage place for Vin in the side tool box of a pickup truck.


Fried Frito Pie - Delicious!

Ordering Fried Bacon, again Delicious! I loved it and ate about 4 pieces dipped in honey mustard.

Vin loved it too and yes he ate all the trash we ate. How could you deny him the full fair experience?

Us in a photo booth. Look at the excitement in his eyes.

Luckily Vin was 32 inches tall and could ride the rides. But the most entertaining thing of the day was Vin's participation in the PeeWee Stampede. The minimum age was 3 but I knew he had the skills necessary to compete. His age group did the steer wrestling, I plan on making a separate post with video on this soon.


So proud of his second place ribbon.
On to the petting zoo where we got to feed the Scottish Highland Cattle, one of my all time favorite things to do ever!! They are so stinkin' cute with their strawberry blond hair and their squatty bodies. Someday I will have one of my own - I promise.




End of the day corn dog eating.
