State Fair 2009

Last week we went to the Texas State Fair. Both Ben and my sister took a day off work so we could avoid the more crowded weekend. We had a blast!! It was cooler (in the 60s/70s) and overcast which made walking around much more pleasant. We started with the Little Hands on the Farm exhibit. We did this one last year, and it was so much fun. Lila enjoyed it even more this year since she could do everything on her own. Wyatt enjoyed watching.

Ben and Wyatt as we wait in line to get in to the farm.

The Amey Farm!
I'm not sure what character I am supposed to be - either a farmer's wife standing behind the cow, or a hay bale with a head!

Love this face Lila makes, like she is driving so fast or something!

When we got to the part where Lila could drive the little tractor, we put Wyatt in her wagon for a little ride. He did great holding on!

She enjoyed the petting zoo so much more this year... no fear of the animals this time!

Amanda B., not sure if you check my blog, but if you're reading this, this picture is for you!

We let Lila ride a couple carnival rides before we left. Something tells me that next year, we will be spending more time doing this. She really enjoyed it! The first ride she went with Daddy. Then we had enough tokens left for her to ride one more by herself.

Checking to make sure she is in the height range to ride alone!

Riding by herself on the swings. Can you tell by her face how much she loved this? Thank you Texas State Fair for giving us such a good time and great memories!
