Staycation- Texas State Fair & Cooper Lake

I am so excited that I finally found a few minutes

to finish up blogging about our vacation!! woohoo. :)

Sooo, we did the "staycation" thing as our "Part 2" on our vacation.

We've never actually done that before,

so it was interesting. . . Not sure it's our favorite form of recuperation,

but we had fun nevertheless!

We went to the Texas State Fair, thanks to a friend's generosity,

and when they say that everything in Texas is bigger-

they're not kidding!

I've never seen a state fair so HUGE.

Our favorite thing at the fair was watching

these BMX bikers doing tricks.

It was also sooo much fun

watching the boys giggle their heads off

riding a few carnival rides.

{blogger is rejecting my pictures for this!! ugh.}

And they had a cute little kid's garden area based on

the fairytale "The Little Red Hen".

It was cute watching them "work".

And we finished off our time with a little

PeeWee Rodeo.

The video of Wesley riding the

"bucking bronco" is hysterical! :)

Another thing I love doing at the State Fair

is taking a "How I've Grown" picture. :)

Oh, and I totally did not even get a picture

of my favorite thing to eat at the fair-

a strawberry & whipped cream funnel cake!

Oh, yum.

On our staycation,

we also decided to go over to nearby Cooper Lake

and hike, play, & fish.

It was the perfect day for it,

and I decided to take minimal photos,

just to enjoy & not document this time around. :)

Of course,

you know me...

I did take a few with my little FLIP. :)
