State Fair FUN

Mom and Dad came to Dallas for the weekend and we spent the entire day on Friday at the Texas State Fair. We walked for miles and miles, watched a cooking demonstration with a famous chef (Nikki flirted with him and received a free pot holder), and pigged out on food that can't be found anywhere else! Here's a few pictures from our great day:


It's Big Tex! He’s 52' tall, a bona fide Texas icon, and he’s the official greeter and ambassador of the State Fair. He gave us a big "Howdy."


Just arriving at the fair and ready for some fun! And food!


The auto show had all the new 2009 models. We had fun shopping for Mom's new SUV. She liked the new Honda CRV the best.


Dad stood there for many minutes completely entranced by the Dodge Charger. I think we also saw some drool.~


Our first snack was the famous Fletcher's corn dog!


It's time to eat again! We all ordered something different so we could share!


This was my pick, Fire and Ice. It is fried pineapple ice cream with strawberries and whipped cream. Yumm!


Thomas' pick was the fried peanut butter, jelly, and banana sandwich. When he ordered it, the guy yelled, "Gimmee an Elvis!"


Nikki's pick was the fair favorite, chicken fried bacon.


All tuckered out and ready to head home.
