State Fair!

Chris, Jordon, and I were able to go to the great Texas state Fair a little while ago for the first time for all of us. It was a lot of fun. It started off great, we were there while the sun was shining and we were able to first go to the Discovery Gardens with beautiful flowers and lots of butterflies. They were everywhere!

Jordon was quite the trooper. We packed in a lunch and lots of bottled water since everything there is so expensive. He normally won't take cold formula but he was hungry enough to drink it. From the gardens we went to the parade tent where there were all of these floats we were able to look at. I'm not sure which parade they were in, but there were some pretty cool looking ones.

We walked around a lot and went to as many free things as we could. We were in a lot of indoor things because it started to rain pretty bad. We went to a cooking show hosted by ikea, looked around at the different art exhibits in the creative arts Building, got free ice cream, and enjoyed the day as much as we could with it being rainy. I was able to have my first ever funnel cake! Simply divine! I don't know how i deprived myself of such a great dessert. Another place we were able to go to was the Sand Coloseum. Jordon was so excited to see marinet puppets of kitties and puppies! He got a kick out of it and was giggling so much! of course i didnt get a picture of it but if you know how excited little boys get around moving objects i'm sure you can imagine how cute it was!

The only bad thing about going to the state fair is that it's very noisy and not the best place for a 6 month old. He liked the fair, but it got to be pretty miserable with the rain and he was never able to take a nap until we left and got in the car. We got there around 10 and he slept til 11 but after that he didn't get a nap until after 3. of course he went to bed really early but i don't like putting jordon through those kind of days. it's very rough on him. Some people were a bit rude in the cooking show too. People didn't like him crying or babbling even if it was only a little bit. So that was a bit annoying. But all in all the fair was a good adventure for us. We're hoping to go next year too and it'll be better since Jordon will be older.
