State Fair of Texas - 2010 Edition



It's that time of year again - the Great State Fair of Texas has arrived in Dallas! We were able to go opening weekend and actually enjoyed some cool weather.

Last year, Madden spent most of the time riding in the stroller and enjoying the sights from there.


This year, he was able to run around and enjoy much more! First stop, was the tractors....





Throwing a little fit....




After the tractors, we headed to the "farm" to "feed the animals"....








Getting his apron on....


Ready to GO!


Watering the plants....

Feeding the chickens some corn....


Stopping to take a picture for mom.... :)


Collecting some vegetables....




Could've been such a cute picture, if he was just looking at the camera! Ugh.




VERY SAD when it was over and he had to give back his basket and apron.

We continued walking around the fair to see what else was there. We stopped for lunch and had a corny dog, too!



Big Tex! Howdy Folks!




We stopped at the new children's aquarium and saw sting rays....

.....and baby alligators...





Then, we headed to the Midway. Madden was in AWE. He wanted to see it all.


We let him play this little game with the ducks.







He won a prize and INSISTED on a pink ball. He loves pink right now.




We got some chocolate covered strawberries on a stick and a funnel cake before leaving! We all had a great time! Until next year....

  1. It's good to know they let you in the state fair...you know, because you're from MO and all. Don'tcha just hate that it's way better than your own state fair? :)
