lynn in love with the texas state fair!

the rain is still a coming folks! :)... and it followed us to the fair!

Oh the Texas State Fair is a fall tradition that I go to every year since I was like 5. It's so full of ghetto country charm and is an event that no Texan especially one from Dallas should ever miss out on. From the giant ferris wheel, the midway games, the plethora of fried foods, and nauseau inducing thrill rides, it has something for everyone! This year, the fair was super crowded since Oprah was there and it literally poured on us for hours. Still, with friends in tow, we indulged in all the fatty foods and had a blast.

The Fair is famous for creating new and creative fried foods. This year, we tried fried oreos, fried peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and the highly anticipated fried butter! The fried oreos were a dream, and the PBJ's were amazing... but the fried butter was pretty dumb. If I'm going to eat fried food, it better be darn good!

We petted the animals, played some games, and saw some crazy big snakes. After my socks turned soggy and tried to turn my feet in to toesicles... we called it a day! A great day!

it's the last week of the fair, if you decided to go, take the DART. trust me.

this was a BIG tractor

mm. foot long corny dog!


my favorite at the fair: the petting zoo! isn't this baby goat the cutest?

scary ostrich



Roasted corn... with lawry salt of course!

some of us braved the space roller... not I!

The rain has started...

We all tried to win a bike

Pancho and Big Tex Love!
