It's that time of year in Texas . . . time for The State Fair!!! We all happened to have Friday off and heard it was opening day at the fair. Why not try out the cool food without all the crowds, right? Our first stop was to say hello to Big Tex.
We made our way through the zillions of food vendors, took a stroll down the midway, and checked out the rides. I'm definitely not a person who likes carnival rides. I mean, they just put that together yesterday - that can't be safe!!! Well that thought went out the window quick because Linc was the first kid on the spinning balloon ride!
He was so proud to be 32 inches - he could ride with Mommy!!!
Full disclosure - Lincoln got a little scared once the ride got going. We were spinning around and going up and down, and he let out a little whimper. I held him tight and the scaredness faded.
By the end, I heard him saying "Weeeee!" He wasn't very excited when the ride stopped. I see lots of rides in our future . . . he'll just have to get taller. There's a pretty small selection of rides for the 32 incher. 
Our next stop was the food! We had heard about lots of new fried goodies and settled on a few old favorites and a couple of new items. To start - a Fletcher's corndog for Kevin, a burger for me, potato tornadoes for all of us to share, and lots of vanilla wafers for Linc. Venturing out - fried beer and fried chocolate covered strawberry waffle balls.
Here are the results of the fried beer:
If you can't tell, Kevin is about to puke!!! It was so gross. They put a spoonful of beer in a ravioli and fried it. Seriously yuck! I don't know how it won an award at the Taste Test. Although we don't have photographic proof, I can attest to the deliciousness of the fried chocolate covered strawberry waffle balls. YUMMY! I may have to go to the fair again this year to have another taste. We also visited the auto show and watched the waterfall (a lot!). What a fun Friday! If anyone happens to be at the fair in the next few weeks, pick up an extra fried chocolate covered strawberry waffle ball for me!
