Going to the East Texas Fair!

So, when we found out we were coming back to the States, the place we decided we were going to no matter what was the East Texas State Fair. However, we realized, go to the fair before the end of the week -- lots of the exhibits (and free stuff) had already packed up and left...and the homemade ice cream stand that we were both craving had already left :( Oh, well -- still fun. Here are some of the pictures of our evening!


I just wanted a picture of a longhorn, but the man that owned this cow thought we really wanted a picture of us in front of his cow. Oh, well. Nate let me stand in the "safe zone" while he kept the cow calm while the man tried several times to get a good picture. I just need to learn how to say "no thanks!".


I definitely have "pregnancy brain". I saw this sign at the goldfish stand and I asked Nathan "Do you think they will really babysit your kids here?" (I was so confused), then he corrected me by saying that they will babysit the FISH you win until you leave. Oh, well...


We rode this ride last time we came to the fair -- I guess about two years ago. Stupid stupid idea! We both hated it and afterwards, we gave out the rest of our tickets to random people. We were DONE with rides!


I thought it would be fun to ride this ride but Nathan said because of the baby, I couldn't ride any rides -- not even a little kids ride!
(I really wasn't wanting to ride it...)


There were 75 of these food stalls that evening -- how do you pick what you want to eat?!


I ended up with the good ol' hamburger and fries and Nate had gumbo and...


CORN! (the red on the napkin is ketchup -- who ever thought?!)


They had a whole table full of fried everything -- fried brownies, cheesecake, pizza, pickles, batter-fried bacon (how unhealthy is that?!)...but then it gets worse..way worse...


FRIED BUTTER! We passed :)
