We recently made a trip to the state fair. It was everything I have ever heard about and more. The kids loved the animals and people watching. All the fried foods were there too {although I somehow missed the famous fried butter}. My favorite were the corny dogs and potato chips. What a healthy way to spend the day. And we can't forget Big Tex. The all-knowing cowboy hovers over everyone and charms with his thick southern drawl.
We had a ball at the Children's Corner. They had a wonderful little farm activity for the kids that taught about harvesting your crops, selling, earning money and then spending it. It was adorable and a fun way for the kids to learn about where food comes from and how hard people work to get it to our tables.
It was fun to see this 100-year-old state tradition and take part in it with the kids too.
