The State Fair of Texas

Mommy and Daddy decided to finally take me to the Fair this year. Since I had never been, I wasn't sure what to expect, but I heard that you could fry up anything and eat it there. We left Mya with Nona and Papa so she could nap and we could stay longer. Poor thing has been missing out on so much with all that "napping" (i.e., practicing in bed for the next developmental milestone).

We took the DART Rail down to Fair Park, so that was a whole adventure in itself! It was also a first for Mommy but she didn't seem as excited as I was while we were riding. When we first arrived at the Fair, we went to the auto show and I tried out a few of their new sports cars. Then, I met Big Tex; he was a giant man with a very deep voice. He was located near the Fletcher's corny dog stand which was the one spot my folks wanted to "visit." We rode the skyway to Kidsway and went on a few rides including the biggest ferris wheel in the world! Ok, so I'm not exactly sure how accurate that is, but the thing is huge (it really put that one from Sea World to shame and now I'm embarrassed to admit that I had fun on that baby ride). The view from there was amazing, but it wasn't nearly as exciting to me as the roller coasters! My parents couldn't get me away from those rides but they were running out of tickets (I'm not sure what kind of excuse that is because I win those things left and right at Chuck-E-Cheese). Finally, we ended our trip by stopping by the children's barnyard and fedding/petting/smelling all the baby animals there.

I had such an awesome day and I cannot wait to go there again in 2010! That gives my parents another year to save up for all those tickets we spent. Or I'll just go to Chuck-E-Cheese and easily get more of them.
