On Saturday, my family+ went to the State Fair of Texas! First off, let me say this: All•The•People. I told my husband Will this is what cattle must feel like! Back by the animals, the “roadway” was narrow to begin with, then they added vendor booths and people. Packed like sardines! It’s the last weekend of the Fair, so I guess it is what it is. Second: Now let me talk about These•Youngins’. ❤️ We took Tyler our oldest son, his girlfriend Bailey, our son Luke, and our nephew Bryce. They were absolute TROOPERS walking so much. We definitely got our steps in for the day. You really forget just how big that place is! Now, there are times these teenagers start acting up like three-nagers and make us want to pull our hair out to the root, but there’s nothing we wouldn’t do for any one of them. We wanted them to make fun memories to last a lifetime. You know, in between the bickering, dirty looks, and the sassy mouths. I guess I am sort of kidding.
We quickly attempted to re-create the picture my husband took of us the last time we went, which was 7 years ago in 2012. Luke refused to take off his new light-up mask, so I didn’t get to see that amazing smile of his. I forgot to tell Bryce to keep his head facing forward, and just cut his eyes to me. Tyler did a pretty good job, but ad-libbed a bit with his stance. You know what - none of that mattered. We laughed and got the picture before jumping off the Skyway (overhead tram). It’s a memory in the making, and today we got to share it together with additions to the family. No matter the crazy events or attitudes, these kids are our world. (Check out a few of our pictures below!)
We came, we saw, we ate, we rode, we listened to music, we walked, we tried to find bathrooms, we saw people we knew, we saw the adorable animals, we saw all the people, we saw 98° in concert (bonus), we rode a ferris wheel, we got really cool masks, we got cool temp tattoos, we played at the Midway (carnival games), we ate some more, we rode the skyway, we conquered. 🏆
The 2019 Texas Fair is done and over with for us (it ends Sunday if you want to brave all the people and your wallet. 💰👀
Another Smith-Wooten-Whipkey family outing is in the books!
