Texas State Fair

The fair was so much fun! We went right after one of Nathan's football games and spent the whole day there. We ate way too much...I'll tell you more about that later. Nathan and Charlotte have always loved playing the games so Wayne gave them a certain amount they could spend. Nathan picked out the sports games like throw the football through the tiny opening and the basketball one where the balls are extra bouncy and the hoops are tiny...the ones that no one wins. In fact, we watched a few people try those games and never win! Wayne tried to talk him out of doing them so he wouldn't waste his money, but Nathan was determined to play. Well, he ended up throwing the football perfectly through the hole AND the basketball in the hoop! It was crazy! Even the carnival guy couldn't believe it! Charlotte picked a few easier games and won also. So we ended up carrying around a prize football and basketball and two stuffed animals the rest of the day. It was fine though because they were so excited! They did a few rides but really just loved going in the fun houses. We also went to the car show and I picked out the new car I wanted :) Once we left, Wayne and I were kind of hungry (hard to believe) but we wanted some real food. So we decided to go to Snuffers, home of the best cheese fries ever. They are so good and fattening that we only go here about once a year. Wayne and I devoured them. At the fair we had nachos, corn dogs, popcorn, and a fried snickers, but really the kids ate most of it and we just had a few bites. So at dinner, Nathan had some of our cheese fries and then he said he wasn't feeling too good. Nathan has big eyes for food but actually has a very sensitive stomach. At the end of dinner, he said he was about to throw up and was covering his mouth. I swear I thought he was going to throw up right there and was trying to give him my french fry basket, but I knew he didn't want to at the table. So I said just run to the bathroom. I really did not think he would make it, but he got up covering his mouth and was speed walking to the bathroom. Wayne followed him and it he actually did make it! When he came back, he said he felt so much better! And he was so happy he didn't throw up in front of everyone!!!
