OH, THE FAIR

October 17, 2008
The fair is such a fun time....fried foods, crazy rides, stinky animals, stinky people, stinky trash, and all at such a low cost.....yea right!!!! Thank goodness it only happens one time a year!!!! For at least the past 4 months Maggie has asked, "when are we going to the fair?" She has talked about it, written about it at school, she's seemed so exited. BUT, that all changes the second we get out of the car!!!!!!!!! Both the girls have been every year since they were born. We took Gracie when she was maybe 3 weeks old. And every year the same thing.....Maggie freaks out if you get any where near Big Tex!!! She turns into this strange child that none of us has ever seen before. I swear it is the weirdest thing EVER!!!! Makes my day as the mom, just dandy. Matt and I decided that we were only going 1 time this year, so all the grandparents and uncles and aunts went (expect Liz and Shane, who we missed). I wanted to get a group pictures, but once again I failed at the picture taking. The day was fun, the kids LOVED the rides ( I didn't post all the pic's, too many). As always the food was just great.....fried, fried and more fried, we all came home with a tummy ache. I keep praying that one year we can go and not panic or freak at the sight of Big Tex!!!! OH.......WE SAW JESSICA SIMPSON!!!! She was having a concert that night. There is a great picture of Matt and his dad waiting for her to come out on the stage, they were very excited!!! We just wanted to see her for maybe one song......WOW, she is TERRIBLE in person!!!!! We didn't even listen to half the song. Another year at the State Fair of Texas!!!
