corny dogs and the rhinos
Emma really liked the "corny dog," which is a must if you attend the fair. One has to get one's yearly intake of grease, you know. We also saw these really weird metal sculptures of dinosaurs which the kids enjoyed playing under. Emma referred to them all as rhinos.
State Fair Tired Kids
Here are Bea, Emma, Jonah, and Jude all worn out. It's hot and I'm tired, Mom. Take me home!
Gingersnaps and taps
More cookie making. Yes, we do that a lot around here. The other picture is of Emma who insisted on the swimsuit-sweater tights look. And the tap shoes complete the outfit. Hip, don't you think?

Butter and Elvis
We love butter and think it's really good on things like mashed potatoes and in macaroni and cheese. But when we heard about the new exhibit at the fair, we started to rethink our views on the fat of the land. You see, this lady goes around to fairs and carves sculptures out of the very thing we delight to see melted on toast. And to beat that, she carved Elvis and his "hound dogs" for us here in Texas. Now that's what we here call, "classy."

The State Fair
Well, we braved the crowds and the 84 degree heat and humidity and went to the State Fair of Texas. It lasts the whole month of October and there are so many things to do and see that it's worth going at least one day. Here are Annie and the kids, Hannah and her kids and Hannah's parents, Roy and Bev. More pictures of the fair will follow.

cookies
Chocolate chip are our favorites, though Emma will eat just about anything. This was her first experience licking the beater. It won't be her last if we have anything to say about it.
The girls
Emma has a hard time holding Bea because she's such a massive amount of flesh. Bea that is. And she's a big back archer. She has slimmed down a bit though. At her 6 month checkup she no longer was off the charts but was in the 75th percentile in weight and 90s for height. Much more average, eh?
