Tri-State Fair

Last night we went to the Tri-State Fair in Amarillo and had a blast. We walked around checking things out.  Then, we went to the petting zoo where the boys got to feed deer, sheep, goats, and llamas. Caleb was a little scared at first, but ended up petting some animals.  Here's Connor feeding some.

I forgot how expensive things get at the fair. The boys kept wanting to play the carnival games, but that is  simply throwing money away.  Still, we let them pick a couple to play.  Cole won a stuffed banana and Connor won an amazingly, annoying toy trumpet that all three of them love.

After the games, we told them they could pick a ride.  There were all kinds, but they picked this goofy little canoe ride.  I admit it was cute though.  They all three fit in one canoe.  I think they just liked getting a little wet.

After the ride, we had to get some fair food.  We shared a huge corn dog, a turkey leg, and fried potatoes.  It was all very good, but messy and greasy.  We then headed to the livestock area and the boys got to see chickens, pigs, goats, and cows.  Connor thought the chickens were hilarious.  He was cracking up.  As we were leaving, we promised cotton candy or as Cole calls it "cotton ball candy."  Caleb was very unsure of this and just held it in his hand for awhile, but loved it once he finally realized it was sweet.  I wish I'd gotten a picture of this, but I forgot.  This last picture is my favorite of the night.
