Texas State Fair

We had our annual visit to the Texas State Fair and it was as much fun this time as it always is.  I just love the fair.  I love all the activity.  I love all the fried food until the next day.  I love all the people watching.  By the time we arrive around 4:30 in the afternoon and leave around 9:30 I usually am exhausted.
We typically walked in the gate and find the nearest Fletcher's Corny Dog stand.  Get us a corny dog and beer.  I had to take all the pictures with phone camera, so they aren't all that good.

We tried the fried funnel cake, fried red velvet cake with a chicken tender on top, french fries, fried jambalya, fried bacon wrapped cinnamon roll, and fried snicker bar.....

The fair has so many exhibits.  We missed the Chinese Lantern exhibit but found the Botanical Garden exhibit.  I wished I could get all my plants to be this happy.

They had a train that ran through the exhibit.  This is for you Pierce!

They had some huge pumpkins that had some elaborate carvings.

 And don't forget the pig races.  As silly as it is, they are so funny and entertaining.

 Last weekend John and Susan invited us to join them for the OU/Texas or Texas/OU game.  Neither Hal or myself have been to one of these games.  I've been downtown on the eve of the game and that was totally crazy.  We were very fortunate as the weather was nice and OU won hands down!

 Final score...OU 63, and TX....15.  It was a crazy game with some very unusually plays.

 

Another fun time at the fair.  Chris we missed you!
