Texas State Fair

Last Thursday, the three of us met our friends Dan, Haewon, and Reece at the state fair. Wayne and Dan got off of work early so we spent the evening seeing all of the sights and eating WAY too much food! I told Wayne that as long as I get a corn dog and funnel cake, I'll be happy. Well, we had both of those plus nachos, cheese fries, and a fried banana split!


Nathan read his book on the way down there. He babbles and points to the words and pictures the way we read to him. Every once in a while he throws in words he knows like dog and ball. It's so cute!


"Are we there yet?"


Nathan and his friend, Reece


Getting corn dogs was first on our list, then we decided to let the boys go on their first fair ride. It was actually very bumpy and a little rougher than we expected.


"I'm not so sure about this!"


After strolling around, we let the boys stretch their legs while we waited for the laser light show and fireworks.

Nathan and Reece loved the show!


What a cute family :)


Nathan was so tired after the show and almost fell asleep, but we had one more activity to do...


The daddies had to try to win their sons a prize. And we were just talking about what a waste of money these games are!


Wayne got lucky on his first game and won Nate a Texas basketball.


Nathan and Reece played their own game. All they had to do was pick up a duck to win. Nathan got his duck and won a little teddy bear.


So Daddy couldn't stop at one game. He had to win one more prize for his baby.
"Here Daddy, I rubbed it for good luck."


All he had to do was break the plates to win...easier said than done. Daddy didn't win anything.


But I guess the vendor felt sorry for Nathan and went ahead and gave him a big stuffed dog and a Nemo fish!

We had so much fun! But we're going to be completely broke when Nathan is old enough to want to ride all the rides, play the games, and eat the food!
