State Fair of Texas

Last Wednesday James and I took Connor to the fair. The day didn't start off to swell. Connor had sat in timeout and had 2 spankings before 7:30 am. He was having a bad day to say the least. But needless to say, we got him in the car and off to the fair and he had so much fun! The weather was dreary and wet, but it ended up working in our favor. We got to the fair when it opened and walked through the livestock and stumbled upon the BEST feeding/petting zoo. The animals were ready to eat and Connor loved feeding them. We spent about an hour in with the animals. They had farm animals, exotic animals, and feisty animals. We also got to see a mother goat and her 30 min-1hour old kids. After we scrubbed and washed our hands we wanted to take Connor and ride the Ferris wheel. This was the only ride we did and although expensive, Connor enjoyed it. Then it was off to try the food. We each had a corn dog and I took fruit and juice for Connor. My fair treat was a fried Snickers....oooohhhhh it was SOOOOO good!!! James decided to try the chicken fried BACON. It was GROSS!!!! He tossed it and went for the buffalo wings. While James waited on his lunch Connor and I went back to the petting zoo. The rain was coming down pretty hard and we needed shelter. After making one more pass through the animals, we decided Connor needed a nap and we were ready to come home.

Connor loved walking in the rain, he didn't care about getting wet.

The Cotton Bowel is in the background of our picture. Connor sat very still during the entire ride.

Here I am trying to show Connor how to use the shovels to feed the animals.


Daddy and Connor feeding the llama! It was fun to show Connor what a "real" llama looks like. He loves the book "Is Your Mama a Llama?"



This picture was taken at Hayden's 2nd birthday at Gymboree last weekend. This is Connor's best buddy and they attend the same preschool!!! When school started Connor and I stopped going to Gymboree class but he didn't miss a beat when we got there. He loved it, the singing, dancing, and of course the parachute!!!
Have a great week!!!
