Kenzi goes to the State Fair... and takes mom and Dad!


So it has become a tradition with our family ever since we moved here to go to the State Fair. The 1st year we went to the Fair with some friends and ended up going on the day that Sooners and Longhorns played! Huge mistake. Way too many people and way too much burnt orange. (I know nothing about the teams so no offense intended, just not a pretty color!) Well now Carter takes a day off of work and we have a great time! So we get there and first have lunch due to me being hungry. Kenzi had one the famous corn dogs and almost ate the whole thing. We then saw Big Tex and she was fascinated. We gave her a choice of going straight to the animals or the cars and she opted to go see the cars. I think she thought she was going to drive out with one! She kept picking small SUVs and really didn't notice anything else until the convertible Corvette that they were not letting anyone sit in. Then Kenzi spotted people climbing a wall over in the Jeep display. "I want to go to that play area, Mommy!" So we went and asked if she could do it, we signed a waiver, and off she went, No Fear! Until we got both feet off the ground and she realized it was a lot harder than it looked. She was soon done and got a carrabeaner and came out, saying "I did it mommy!" "Yes, you did sweetheart!" We then made our way to the animals where you can feed them by way of a "dancing dog show", (Yea, not quite sure so don't ask. Kenzi was entertained and got excited when it was over and she could pet the dogs.) So we fed the animals and stayed away from the Ostriches, 2 years ago Kenzi got bit by one a couple of times. I think this year they even had them back a little and said you can't feed them. Fine by me! Then Kenzi proceeded to have a melt down and we went home. Long day of fun hanging out with Kenzi. She walked to whole day by herself! We didn't even bring the stroller. She did great and it was soo much fun going through the fair with her. Love you sugar pie! Kari
