State Fair O' Texas

We took Asa to the State Fair on Columbus Day and he loved it! We tried out Asa's new jogging stroller for the first time. He cried when we first put him in (he looked like he was ready to parachute out of a plane with all the harnesses) but he decided he liked it in the end:


Here are Asa and Matt taking a break in the shade:


Matt and I shared a funnel cake (with caramel and whipped cream!)...traditional fair fare. We also had (in no particular order) corny dogs, fried macaroni and cheese, fried Coke (new this year!), biscuits (free in the food and fiber pavilion!), donkey tails (hotdog stuffed with cheese then wrapped in tortilla and fried) and something I forgot the name of but was candy bar pieces, chocolate chips, marshmallows, cinnamon, coconut and fudge wrapped in a tortilla, dipped in pancake batter and--you guessed it!--FRIED. Don't worry, we washed it all down with some Miller Lites, which are only 2 points on the Weight Watchers plan.



We visted Boris II, a pig that weighs more than 1,200 pounds!



We went through the midway to look at all the new rides. Asa doesn't quite meet the height requirement yet.
