We had a fun weekend while my parents were in town. They arrived around lunchtime on Friday so that made for a nice long weekend. We took Jack out to lunch when they got here and then to the park. Jack was able to play on the playground equipment and we took out a paddleboat (a first for Jack) around the lake. Beside the fact that he didn’t really like wearing the lifejacket, he had a great time. All that afternoon activity tired the poor little guy out, and he fell asleep on our drive back home.
Saturday was a crazy but eventful day as well. We decided, despite all the warning we received from numerous people, to brave the crowds and go the Texas State Fair. I know that we were lost in a sea of people wearing orange and maroon clothing, but there were only two or three times were I had flashbacks to my trip to Beijing (during their National Holiday) of how busy a crowd can be. We got to the Fair early so we were able to miss some of the coming crowd, and left right as the game was starting so we didn’t have any trouble leaving. This was Jack’s first fair and my first State fair. Texas state fair is famous for the creating a new fried food each year. The new fried food this year was Fried Beer...Justin said that it sounded disgusting and didn’t really care to try it. I however have wanted to try a fried Twinkie since I hear that it existed, and I must say it was everything I thought it would be and more. I have a feeling it will be something I will be eating again next year :-)
We spend the rest of the weekend recovering from the Fair and my folks have taken headed back home. I am now looking forward to a quiet afternoon with Justin and Jack watching football. Make sure to check out the pictures I uploaded of our weekend :-)
