Oh how our family adores the Texas State Fair!
What's not to love? The rides, the animals, the fried food and Texas pride?
It holds a piece of our hearts- so much so that we are having a
Texas State Fair Themed birthday party for my big boy turning FOUR!!!
Here is a peek back at the past five years opening morning at the fair!
2012:
This was my first time to go on opening morning!
We went to celebrate one of my very best friends, Lauren Logan's birthday!
That was the moment I realized it was clean, less crowded and discounted on the opening day!!
I'm pretty sure I called in work sick which was a big deal for me! Haha!
I used to never miss work!
Eli was in the womb and this was before Big Tex burned down
(and apparently before good cell phone pic's! Ha!)
Pregnant with Eli! |
Turkey Leg and Corn- Fair staples! |
2013:
This year I invited some other mama's to come along for opening morning and we had a blast!
It was Eli's first time at the fair! He was only 5 months old and I remember it being super hot and having to find places to breast him in air conditioning! The life of a mom!!
2014:
This was the first year we dragged the husbands along even though they all have to take a day off of work! This was Eli's second trip to the fair and his first time to really experience the fun!
2015:
I was ten thousand years pregnant with Caroline Carlisle this year which means I got to indulge in just about anything my little heart desired!
I remember Eli LOVING the little farm and the animals so much!
2016:
This has to be one of my favorite years!
Eli really got to enjoy the rides and the games!
CC had a blast and munched on corn like no ones business!
