Texas State Fair

This past weekend we went up to Dallas to spend some time with our long lost friends, the Johnsons.

Some of the highlights of our trip were:

- Being rear ended on our way up to Dallas

(wait, that wasn't a highlight... just an inconvenience...

can I say that I LOVE having a big car!)

- Visiting with old friends

(As in Lis and I have been friends for 21 years!!)

-Lots of football

-Good food

-Family pictures

-A cute pumpkin patch

And...

While there we decided to go to the Texas State Fair...

on the one day when there was sure to be more than 100,000 people there.

Texas vs. Oklahoma Football Day.

NOT a good choice.

We weren't the only ones in for a disappointment that day.

Texas Longhorns were too.

I don't think I even need to mention the final score here.

Let's focus on our fight...erm....I mean walk around the fairgrounds.

The petting zoo.

Super cute.

There were llama's, zebra's (yep, we've now petted a zebra), a 3 day old baby donkey, ostrich, pigs, goats, and I'm pretty sure that little hairy thing was a yak.

Unfortunately Lance was outside with sleeping baby Livy in the stroller.

Doesn't she look excited to be there???

We even decided to add to our misery and ride the train to the fair grounds so we wouldn't have to find parking.

Not a really great idea either.

We were on the train for an hour each way.

Most of us standing.

Some of us having to deal with drunk OU fans.

Fun times.

Ok.... so next time we go to the fair let's NOT pick the worse day in the world to go???

Lis and I... and Liv

All the kiddo's

"Nice set of pumpkins ya have there sweetie!"

I love this sign.

Only in the South!!

It was a lovely weekend.

So nice to get away...

even if I did forget my nice queen airbed to sleep on :)

It was nice to hang out with good friends and welcome in the

"Texas Fall".
