Hadley Meets Big Tex

Last night, our little family of three had a fun-filled evening at the State Fair of Texas! Hadley, of course, was a first timer. I grew up going to the State Fair each fall with my family and have many memories of corny dogs and walking around the car show with dear ol' Dad! Then once we became Longhorns, Mason and I each made many trips during college to the Cotton Bowl (located on the fairgrounds) for the annual TX/OU game. So we were very excited to create new memories here with Hadley!

Once inside the gates, we headed straight for Big Tex, because we wanted Hadley to meet the star of the show right away and do proper introductions.

She was pretty unimpressed. Sorry, Big Guy...maybe next year! 
Next up! Time for a Fletcher's Corny Dog!

Again... not very excited. Although, when you don't yet have teeth and aren't really into solids just yet, your hand can be just as appealing. 

While Mom & Dad, walked around the fair sampling fried foods such as "Fried Thanksgiving Dinner" and "Fried Sweet Texas" (a blend of pecan pie, buttermilk pie, peach cobbler & vanilla ice cream - yum!)... Hadley could not have been more bored. I was a little sad, because I really thought she'd be more into it. She just sat in her stroller impartial to everything that we walked by. 

That is until we hit the Midway!

She LOVED it! All of the noises & flashing lights were right up her alley! We also took her out of her stroller so she could look around a little more easily. 
That's when the real fun began!

Almost made the cut! ;) Though she was still too small to go on any of the kiddie rides, we were able to ride the carousel together! Mommy's dream come true - riding the carousel with her daughter! ♡♡
Whoooooa, horsey slooow down! This ride definitely goes a little faster than I remember it... man I'm getting old! But I loved getting to take Hadley on her very first ride!

All in all, it was a fantastic first trip. Hadley did great and we hope to make this a Guinn family tradition! ​'Til next year, Big Tex! :)
