State Fair 2012

This past weekend, my parents came up for a visit and to make their 1st trip to the State Fair of Texas.

We got there shortly after they opened and the first thing we noticed, was that Grace spit up sometime on the way there. Yikes! It was bad enough that we didn't notice, but we also didn't have a spare outfit because the kids had been playing with the diaper bag earlier that week and pulled all the clothes out. Oops!

So we cleaned her up the best we could and headed inside. We headed to the Little Hands on the Farm area. The kids both really liked it and had fun riding the tractors around. They spent their "money" and we got them shirts (mainly so we could get Grace out of her stinky shirt).

After that, we hit up the barnyard area. The kids loved looking at all the animals and Tommy even fed a few of them.

We didn't really get any of the new fried food this year and instead opted for the traditional fair food.

Since we wanted to ride a couple rides and they were on the other side of the fair, we all rode the Sky Ride over. My parents kept the kids occupied while Tom and I rode one roller coaster (called the Crazy Mouse). It was crazy! Tommy ended up riding the monster trucks with Tom and the bumper cars with me. He was being a little wussy on the bumper cars and didn't want me to hit anyone - haha. Grace rode the little dolphin boats with me and she loved it.

Tommy got upset after this - I wasn't allowed to hit anyone

On the way home from the fair that afternoon, Grace had another accident. Poor baby - I don't know what was up with that.

Other than Grace being sick, we all had a great day at the fair.
