The weather was perfect this past Sunday - so we decided to make it out to opening weekend at the Fair. We started at the Dock for a visit with the family & of course a funnel cake was a must for the kiddos. We had a bit of lunch & then headed out to play. We managed to do a little bit of everything ... rides, shows ... and lots & lots of walking. Vivi, Pops, Cory, Tiffany & Noah made it down for a bit too. As always the kids had a blast! As a matter of fact ... ALL three fell asleep on the car ride home. And let me just say - that doesn't happen often. Apparently the Fair can be an exhausting experience ... for Mom & Dad too! ; )
We started out as the bird show- and I can't take any credit for the photos- David was manning the camera. I think he got a few pretty good shots!
This crane was not suppose to land on this man- but did. Pretty funny. The show announcer kept commenting on how this was the opening weekend & things didn't always go smoothly. Clearly.
I love the Texas Star in the background

The Greenhouse trains ... a really pretty exhibit
The merry-go-round- Noelle loved it! Not sure Ethan really knew what was going on : )
C ade talked David into riding one of the roller coasters ... up, up & away!

Noelle patiently awaited her ride on the swans at the lagoon all day. She says this was her favorite thing we did. We ... or should I say I ... paddled around the lagoon in search of turtles. And seriously we saw some huge turtles! The boys watched from the side-lines : )
Big Tex!
