Texas

Last weekend we (Mr. E and myself) flew out to Texas to see my sister and family. Mr. E was a champ flyer. It helped that the man next to me moved to another seat, so we had the row to ourselves. And man, what a difference it makes to have seat for your toddler. Only way to fly!

It had been 8 months since the last time I saw my sister, so it was definitely time to change that. It was a quick trip but so much fun. My sister's kid are hilarious and played so well with Mr. E.
The day we flew in, was a pretty mellow day. It was too hot (for me) and humid that I don't think I could have managed anything else but lounging around inside...in an air conditioned  home. Friday we packed up the kids and headed out to the infamous Texas State Fair. And holy cow, you really CAN deep fry ANYTHING! I attempted to take pictures of everything you could deep fry, but started to get lazy with it because every booth had something new you could batter up and fry. Here are just a few of the things you can eat to jump start a heart attack with...

My brother-in-law got the deep fried brownies, and of course, we had to try. I'm kind of mad I didn't try the pineapple. Oh well, next time. 

These were the cutest baby goats! I seriously wanted to steal them and bring them home.

Saturday we headed to the aquarium and ate the best BBQ I had ever had. I would be so fat if I lived in TX. Sunday came, we packed up, and flew out. Like I said, quick trip. But so fun!
Thanks for the memories! To see better pictures, check out my sister's blog
Happy October! My favorite month of the year! Yay for fall!
