State Fair 2009

I love the fair! This year the girls were old enough to enjoy all the animals, food and fun. I had forgotten what a beating that parking could be, but the parking fiasco (think miles of walking just to get to an entrance) didn't put a damper on the festivities.

A little out of order...but a family photo (the girls couldn't be separated from their corn on the cob)

The sheep with "jackets" on

In the petting zoo area - I love Camryn's expression. We had just asked if they wanted to touch the goat's nose - Kristin said "noooooo" and Camryn got this look on her face.

I can't remember the name of this critter - first the girls called it a puppy, but then it started hopping, so they called it a bunny

Camryn was all over petting the giant camel

My favorite part - the interactive children's farm area - Little Hands on the Farm. They put on these tiny aprons, grabbed a bucket and were off on an adventure.First they picked some corn

Then they fed the corn to the chickens and got an egg in returnKristin driving the tractor (her basket in the trailer)
Camryn driving

After all their hard work (milking cows, picking wool off sheep, planting seeds, harvesting crops), they "sold" all their stuff and got "money", which they were able to spend in the store. (They bought fruit snacks)

Corn on the cob! (Kristin left, Camryn right)

Texas nachos! Do other states do this?? We Texans sure are proud of our state.

Me and Kristin (check out that cheesy grin! Literally...cheesy)
