State Fair and Pumpkin Patch

Last Friday mommy, daddy and maaamaaa (as she lovingly calls Grandma) ventured to the far away land known as the Texas State Fair.  You have to understand that Everyone goes to the fair in Dallas.  It’s part of their culture and way of life down here.  It’s crazy!  Their big thing to do is eat assorted fried foods including corn dogs, Twinkies, tornado fries, funnel cakes, and coke.  Yep, fried coke.  Lily really enjoyed her corn dog.  I think it was her favorite part of the fair.

Up to this point, Lily has been entertained and has loved her books about cows, ducks, pigs, sheep, goats and horses. This was her first encounter with said animals, and she was not very impressed.  She was actually really scared of the cows, pigs and creepy beedy eyed goats.  She did met a donkey, and thought he was ok.   Her word for horse right now is whore, so it was pretty funny to her her keep repeating that when she saw a horse.

She was totally overstimulated by the end of our trip, and so mommy decided it would be a good idea to go to the pumpkin patch.  (dumb dumb dumb)  She was miserable and cranky.  This place is over an hour away from our house, so I thought that since we were already downtown, we may as well go.  She kinda liked the pumpkins, but it wasn’t a very good fall like experience.  It was like 98 degrees outside, and totally hot.  So we pretty much rode the tractor ride, got the pumpkin, took photos and left.  I’m hoping to go another time when Lily is up to it.  Oh well.  Can’t win them all.  I was just really happy to have the day off from work to spend with the family.  That was a true blessing.
