State Fair of Texas 2011

A visit to the State Fair is a family tradition that we could not miss.  For the first time, we were there on opening day, but the crowds were not bad at all.  We made it through the line and headed towards Big Tex and the Fletcher's Corny Dog stand.  We started to get in line and realized that Claire was asleep, so she missed out on a corny dog this round.  Will was a fan, though.

We hit all of our usual spots, including the car show.

Will got his first lion picture...

...and Claire got her fourth (previous years' photos can be seen here)!

ROAR!

Claire then thought she should roar for every photo:

Will mesmerized by the VitaMix demo:

We learned a new recipe for green smoothies that we've made several times - I'll post it soon on a recipe review post.

Claire did some good work in the Little Farmers' Spot.

Claire fell asleep in the stroller (again) and wasn't excited about getting picked up for a photo, but we had to get a picture with Big Tex before we left.  It's close to impossible to get a photo of all 4 of us looking at the camera and smiling, so I'll take it.  :)

We finally let her sleep when we got to the car - they were both out before we left the parking lot.
