State Fair 2011

Where does the time go? This weekend is the last weekend the 2011 State Fair will be here. Well, being the last minute people we are, we decided to tackle the fair on Thursday evening after work. We loaded up and headed out to Fair Park. The weather was great! First things first...Fletchers Corn Dog!!! The only way to start the fair out right. The girls chowed down and loved it, Mike and I enjoyed ours too :)


Then to the Bird Show. The girls were able to keep up with most of the birds and what was going on. They really enjoyed picking them out and pointing when they found one.
Then off to the Pig Races. So much fun, we screamed and cheered our pig on! The girls laughed, clapped and cheered with us! Of course, we have to get a funnel cake, because they are in the same building as the pig races...so healthy meal 2 - check -
Of course we had to visit the animal petting area. Alexa and Ava love animals, petting, feeding, watching, it doesn't matter, they could have stayed in here for hours!

Next to the parade. Probably Alexa and Ava's favorite part! They were mesmerized by the floats, people and horses. Alexa wanted to see it again after they passed by.
We also found this real cute farm where they put an apron on the girls and they got to walk through the process of how farms and crops are done. It was so cool, from feeding with corn to milking a cow, the entire set up was a great experience. Not to mention after done, they were able to sale their crops and go to the store and buy something in there. Ava picked out Animal Crackers and Alexa picked a Granola Bar.

The girls were even tall enough to ride 2 rides this year. The choo-choo train, and Dumbo. Alexa and Ava wanted to ride every one out there, maybe next year, this year they were about 4 inches too short. To end the evening, we had to have 1 more thing to eat, french fries! I would say we got all 4 food groups in, wouldn't you...Fried, Fried, Grease, and Grease...
We had a blast at the fair, the girls have grown so much, its amazing to watch how they interact, understand and learn. I am sure when we head back next year it will be even more exciting!
