State Fair

I am pleased to inform you that fall has finally arrived! The weather is getting cooler (low 80s as opposed to 90s), football season has started, and I'm digging out all my recipes that contain apples or pumpkin as an ingredient. I love fall.
Last fall we were still getting used to having a new baby and we didn't take too many excursions. A year later however, we are well-seasoned parents, ready to take on any adventure.
And that we did. On Sunday several families from our lifegroup decided to take a little jaunt over to the state fair in Dallas. With the exception of the extreme heat, it was a delightful day, full of firsts for our little family..

Daneel ate his FIRST EVER corn dog. Now that he's an American citizen (information on that in a post to come) he really couldn't put that one off much longer.


Avalon had her 1st taste of corn dog.

and cotton candy..

I think she preferred the corn dog.

1st time we'd ever heard of or sampled fried butter and chicken fried bacon. Don't worry, we didn't let Avalon sample those.

1st family trip to the state fair.

I would really like to know what fried butter is. And how exactly do you flavor it like grape jelley?

All this talk of Fried butter makes me want to hurl! I think they took it too far this year!
