State Fair of Texas

This was our 4th year visiting the State Fair. We streamlined the experience to the essentials: Corny dogs, World On a String puppet Show, a walk through the arts and crafts building, cotton candy, say howdy to Big Tex, and a few rides for the kids.

You can't go to the fair without getting a corny dog! Or two!!

Weeks ago Norah had insisted that she needed her own bag of cotton candy all to herself at the fair. Attempts to reason with her failed. Bryan, hoping to dissuade her, said she could have her own bag of cotton candy only if she bought it herself. Of course Norah agreed. She worked hard cleaning up toys and and wiping off the kids table for weeks and weeks earning 25 cents at a time to pay for her $5 bag of cotton candy. Afterwards she conceeded that half a bag would have been more than enough.
