State Fair of Texas (Dallas, TX)

The temperature finally dropped to feel like fall weather and the kids had a 4-day weekend for Columbus Day so we made a quick trip up north to the State Fair of Texas. It's been nine years since we last went together as a family. Since then, we added two more kids and the ones that did go have no memory of their prior visit. All things considered, it was a good time to visit the biggest state fair in the country once again.

The lines at Fletcher's were insanely long but I had to get one (or five).

(Half-eaten) cotton candy taco.

The funnel cake was instantly devoured.

My big girl "won" at the ducky game.

She was so proud of herself and loved her prize (toy trumpet).

Big Tex and us.
