Grandma and Grandpa made a pit stop here on their way up to Great-grandpa's house in Arkansas. They were here for 3 nights, so that they could go to the State Fair with us last Friday (Payton didn't have school).
We also recruited Conner and Aiden (new friends from school). Conner is in Payton's class and Aiden is Ian's age.
We got to go see more of the exhibits that we didn't have a chance to see on our first trip. One of my favorite was the Greenhouse. It had electric trains zooming in and out of the gardens, garden figures, and historic buildings found throughout Texas. The pumpkin carver was fascinating to watch. The kids seemed to enjoy this exhibit as well.
I promised the kids we could do one ride or game. I would have promised more, but the one they wanted required me to ride with them. Unfortunately - the cost of the games and rides is a drawback of the fair. But the ride the kids chose was this enormous slide. Don't get me wrong - it was fun. Thank God I have a strong stomach.
We stayed for almost 5 hours and were pretty worn out by the end of our outing - but the Fair only comes once a year.....It was worth it.
