The Texas State Fair and other September Happenings

We made our second annual family trip to the State Fair last Monday - the weather is finally starting to cool down, and it was a gorgeous day in the high 70's.  It wasn't too crowded either.  We got to enjoy the usual favorites including Fletcher's Corny Dogs and something fried (this year, it was a fried Snickers and a frito pie - separately of course!).

We took Adelyn on the ferris wheel again this year - she still didn't quite comprehend what was happening, but she loved the breeze in her hair.  We enjoyed great views of Dallas and even of the Fort Worth skyline.  I didn't manage to capture any very good pictures, but here's one to document the experience.

The petting zoo was a bigger hit this year - lots of cute animals, and we got to feed them too.  We've been working on animal sounds at home, so it was fun for her to actually see the real animals.  Unfortunately, she still called each animal "doggie!"

 

We also got to walk through the huge stock yards to see the cattle that were getting ready to be judged.  We got to talk to some of the ranchers and ask questions. Made me realize how much of a city girl I am... although I've come a long way from the days before I moved to Texas when I didn't realize that cows come in different colors!

Here are a few other random pictures from September - the first home Cowboy game (even though they lost and did not play well, we had fun!)

Here is Brian with Lee Roy Jordan from the Ring of Honor.

 And my personal favorite, Jason Witten coming through the tunnel...

 Finally, here are a few more of Addy... wearing mommy's childhood dress.  She is just too cute!

Happy October everyone!
