Texas State Fair

It has been several weeks since we went to the fair and I'm just now getting pictures up. I don't know why I haven't put them up sooner, oh well! We had a great time eating, playing and visiting all the sites!! This was the kids first visit to the fair and they really seemed to enjoy it! Our main reason for going out there was to see Dad's landscaping. Dad designed it and they won second place!!! YEA DAD!! I have to say that out of all of the landscapes out there, which there were quite a few, they were the best!!

We visited the petting zoo, which was crazy but fun! They had all kinds of animals for the kids to feed! There was a couple that we did steered clear of...the ostrich!! One little kid got bit right in front of us...OUCH!! The kids also got to ride on a couple of rides together! Surprisingly enough, they we over the required height. I guess we don't really know how big our little 2 are!! On the way out we treated the kids to a funnel cake...Yummo!! I'm still trying to work that one off!! Anyway, enjoy the pics!!

I loved going to the State Fair this year also. Tex was my first love as are the Fletcher corny dogs!! hahaha Ralphs landscaping was the best I have ever seen...not just because he's my brother, but it truly was a very beautiful display. Hannah and Jake...Katie and I rode all the rides too...wheeee, so much fun!! Did you also see the pig? It was HUGE!! I love the pics Melissa, as always, you are so good about keeping us updated and I love to see the kids and what they're doing!! I love you all, Aunt Kerri

Hi Melissa,
Thank you for all of the pictures. I have always thought the landscaping was just part of the Fair. Now i will have an even more appreciation of all of the hard work in designing and carrying out of the project. Your hard work has paid off Ralph. Congratulations. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Love,
Stephanie
