Fried Frito Pie

Yep, the winner for the Best Taste award at the State Fair of Texas 2010 is fried frito pie. And we tried it. Not too bad, tasted like a ball of chili deep fried in batter. Other tasty concoctions we sampled include: corndog, cheese fries, brisket tacos, homemade rootbeer, and icecream (the ONE thing that was fat free!! Ha!). We had a really good time taking Avarie to her very first fair. We mostly walked around, checked out the booths, saw a Celebrity chef show, and took Avarie to a pretend farm where she got to be the farmer...she had no idea what was going on but it was sure cute. We finished the night off with the light parade. Fun floats all decked in lights and sparkly things :) Avarie was a trooper for the most part, but definitely had her fill of fun after a few hours. We look forward to next year when she is a bit older (and I am NOT 32 weeks pregnant) and can participate and interact with more of the attractions. We love the State Fair of Texas!

What cute farmers :)

Snackin' on cookies...it was her "prize" for helping on the pretend farm.

Corndog...a state fair classic. Maybe next year Avarie can try one :)

Petting a cow for the first time. This is Elsie, the mascot for Borden Milk.

The evening light parade. See you next year Big Tex!! :)
