Time for the Texas State Fair!

I love that schools here in Texas get a "Fair Day"! We took advantage of our day off and our free tickets to go to the biggest State Fair around! Hattie had been talking about going to the fair for a week or so...she had heard us talking about a time Braedon was younger and him getting bit by the ostrich at the fair, so of course, she wanted to feed the ostrich. We fed animals, went on a couple of rides, played a few games, and ate the best corn dogs....pretty much everything you would do at the fair!

Something really exciting happened on our ferris wheel ride though.....my friend and co-worker, Audrah got engaged on the ride ( her and her fiance had their first date at the fair two years ago!) Anyways we ended up seeing them in the line for the ride, they were a little ways ahead of us but when we got up to the ride we ended up being in the next cart! So while we were riding I hear " Katie" and when I finally looked down I saw what happened! It was pretty neat!

Here are a few pictures from the fair!

This darn ostrich bit my watch...meanie!

Look! Mommy won a pillow pet...( she only had to beat a few young kids at the water spray game: )

Worn out!

This kids is all over the place!! The other day I knew Hollyn crawled into the kitchen but I didn't see her for a minute..she was completely inside the cupboard

who needs toys

Hattie got a neat face painting at a festival

My mom and I had so much fun volunteering at the Maize Days with our church. My job was making cotton candy! I was seriously sticky for two days, but it was a great time!

Mom made about one batch of cotton candy and I laughed the entire time!!
