Texas Part II: The State Fair

After a quiet day ay home and a trip to the park on Thursday, we decided to check out the state fair on Friday morning before Reagan and I left for Houston. It was huge- so much bigger than the Utah state fair. We stayed for 4-5 hrs and only saw a portion of the things that were there. It was broiling hot and humid that day, so we tried to stay inside as much as possible. One building had some fun things for the kids:

A crooked playhouse!
 And another tire swing! How exciting.
 Reagan loved her first time on a big trampoline and I had to go in there and pull her off after a few minutes.
 One of the best parts was the hands-on farm experience for kids. Reagan was a little too young (she didn't really make it past getting her apron and bucket), but Eve had a blast!
Best friends :)
 They also had this awesome animal exhibit with tons of different animals that you could feed. Reagan did her best.
 Good thing Aunt Sharon showed her how.
 So much to see!
 "Hey Mom, remember when I used to do that?"
 We found a ride that was suitable for Reagan (Eve was asleep by that point) and off we went! Reagan loved it, but they made me put her on the inside, which was not helpful for pictures.
 And last but not least, everyone's favorite, the merry-go-round!
 

A little one-sided cousin love.
 And an orange pop to finish it off- Reagan's first popsicle.

We left straight for Houston from the fair. These girls had such a good time playing together all week- I can believe we didn't take any pictures at home! Eve dubbed Reagan "Cousin Reagy" and showed how all her big girls toys worked, and Reagan taught Eve how to regress to pointing, grunting, and shrieking, and helped her practice sharing. An informative and fun few days all around!
