What a fun past few days we have had!! Last Thursday, my sister Brittany took the day off work and she went with me and Katelyn to the State Fair of Texas!! We had fun watching a dog show, walking through the petting zoo (including zebras, camels, and giraffes!), eating corndogs and funnel cakes, and looking at crafts! We even saw one sweet lady win a blue ribbon for her peach cobbler recipe! She was so excited and in such disbelief, we seriously thought she was going to pass out!! Too bad they didn't have samples of that cobbler for curious onlookers!
At the petting zoo....I realized that I didn't know what half of those "exotic" animals were, so I just kept saying, "Katelyn, look at the animal!"
One of the show dogs licking Katelyn's face after the performance! Katelyn loved it (both the show and the licking!)
Kristen, Katelyn, and Brittany enjoying the state fair!
We also went to a really fun pumpkin patch today with my dad (Pee Paw) and his good friend John! My dad was able to take some time off work this week and come up to Dallas with my mom who has a business conference to attend. So...while she was in meetings all day, he came to play with us! What a deal! At the pumpkin patch, we went on a hayride, walked through lots of rows of pumpkins, and spent some time letting Katelyn pick out a couple little pumpkins of her own! The weather was perfect, and it was such a fun time! We love you Pee Paw, and we really enjoyed spending time with you today!
Our "lil' punkin" with the pumpkins!
Me, Katelyn, and Pee Paw in the pumpkins!
Katelyn sitting on a carriage with her new little scarecrow friends. She shortly lost interest in her "friends" and began trying to eat the pumpkin she was holding!
Is this a good one mom??
Katelyn carefully picking her pumpkins....so many to choose from!
Katelyn sitting in the wagon inspecting her pumpkin for any flaws...none found! I was nervous she would have "buyer's remorse"...a trait that both her mommy and daddy seem to have!
On the hayride...we were the first ones on and the last ones off! Katelyn really enjoyed looking at the pumpkins as we passed by them and watching the tractor as it pulled us around!
