Texas State Fair 2010

The other day I told my husband that I would love to go to the Texas State Fair.  To my great surprise he said, “Let’s go!”  He took the day off so he could take us during the week when it was cheaper and less crowded than on the weekend.  This was completely an act of love for him as going to the fair is not his idea of fun.  I think he finds it more like paying an exorbitant amount of money for torture!  But ever since the day he told me that he was going to “think about [me] from now on,” he really has made an effort to do things that I like even when they wouldn’t be his choice.

We had a really fun time.  The Little Hands on the Farm was a favorite for the kids since they got to pick out a snack at the end.

They also loved the Backyard Circus, mostly I think because for participating they got a free coupon for a bottle of Strawberry milk that they were able to redeem at the fair.

They each got to pick one ride.  We tried not to cringe as we forked out the coupons!

We packed a lunch to save some money, but we HAD to try a Flechers Corney Dog!

I thought twice before wearing my Nebraska Husker shirt to the Texas State Fair, but I wore it, and I survived!  I only got one comment on it the entire day, and that was from an elderly gentleman that yelled, “Go Huskers!  We’re gonna cream Texas!”  My sentiments exactly, Mister!  All in all it was a great day.

    That looks like a great family day. This year – I just could not do the fair. For some reason the thought of it made me just want to curl up under a rock someplace. I think next year it will be more doable for us. I think I am just getting old! But honestly your photos make me feel bad that I should have taken the kiddos…they would have had fun!

    I used to go every year with our high school band. After we marched in the opening parade we had the whole day to explore. Great memories! I appreciated the fact that tied in a comment from a previous blog concerning Jason thinking about you more. Great reminder to me to carry through on similar statement I make to Cole. Way to go Jason!
