a fair, a carnival, a rain dance

ok even though Q looks like she is choking herself out of boredom we did have a great time the central texas state fair.  i'm a sucker for state fairs, even when spence and i were dating i made him go to the utah state fair...he is scared of carni's but he is a good sport and goes anyways.
watching the goat show.  
we were also able to see the Angus cows being judged.  they were huge cows. as we were watching the winner being walked back to his stable the owner came right up to us and let us pet the big black cow.  tenley was so scared, the cow was literally at my eye level.  then the cow mooed! and poor ms t started to cry.  but it was really fun to get up close to all the animals.
the fair wasn't that grand but of course we couldn't miss up an opportunity to go to our first texas state fair.  next time we will make sure we wear our cowboy boots, hats, and buckles too!

the girls are still too small to do a lot of the rides that were at the state fair carnival, but they saw the carousal and had to go. (pappy use to take them on a carousal in the provo mall so and they really wanted to do it so we did even though it cost $3 a person!!) and because i'm the best mom in history we bought some cotton candy for the ride home!...more for me than them, but i do tend to share.:)

later that night there was a huge rain storm, so we rain outside and danced in the rain!
there is nothing better than dancing in the rain on a hot sweltering summer day.

I love fairs too! Aren't TX rain storms the best! There's something cathartic about a gushing downpour and soaks everything to the bone. I'm glad you guys are enjoying TX.
