The Marlowe family headed out to the Texas State Fair last Wednesday afternoon (enjoying the discount admission of 3 soup cans + $1). We had a wonderful time! Started out in the petting barn where the girls could feed and pet all sorts of animals...favs included the tiny baby goats and the donkeys. Then they went through the little farm.
The good stuff...tornado taters, lemonade and Fletchers corny dogs were next! Claire wanted to ride all of the scary rides (in the kiddie section) including the roller coaster, the super high slide, the haunted house, and several other spinning delights. Nana offered to take Ava on the carousel, but Ava insisted it was too scary and sat it out in the stroller. She did manage to take 2 rides with big sister Claire, though. So CUTE!
We finished off with cotton candy, lots of bottled water and a cranky (not to mention sticky) ride home. Next year there will be another little Marlowe (probably walking by then) to enjoy the trip to the fair. A BOY BABY...2 weeks to go!
