Every year we go to the State Fair and every year something makes it unique and special just for that year. This year, the State Fair served as an experiment in bravery.All of the cousins started out timid about their relatives... but as the weekend progressed, somehow unfamiliar faces turned into welcoming arms and strong shoulders for carrying, hugging, and sharing.
Kate thought she might be afraid of Big Tex but was also really, really interested in him. Reese thought she was scared of the animals at the petting zoo, but with a little security from family, she quickly became so brave that she was straining to get into the cages with the animals. Avery bravely decided to ride a Midway ride for the first time, and at first Kate was sure she wanted to ride too. She paid her tickets, marched along the ride to the seat she wanted, and then completely shut down. Waaaay too scary to actually climb onto the ride...!
Other things that made this year special and unique included having the Californians in town, fried Girl Scout Cookies, a hands-on farming experience, meeting the showcase dancers and watching them perform, and a special Sunday visit to the Dallas World Aquarium.
