The Fair Experience

I was looking forward to an afternoon filled with children's laughter and an insane amount of people watching. We were at the State Fair of Texas...on the day of The Game. If you are a Texan then you know what I'm talking about! We were in the middle of the Texas/ OU crowd getting prepared to dance with A's hula troupe. The people watching didn't go as planned, because I could not see past the burnt orange and crimson hung on every person we encountered. The laughter, however, was everywhere. We spent the day waiting for A to perform with her troupe and then we made our way through the crowds to ride a few rides and play a few games on the midway. We ate our share of fried foods, but stayed away from the exotic ones like fried salsa and kraut balls. The kids got to see some animals up close and then we made our way back to the car. It was a wonderful exhausting experience.
