Do You Smell What I Smell?

It's the end of October in Shreveport, so that can only mean one thing (besides my birthday coming up, oh and Halloween of course)....the State Fair is here! We took Raelee Thursday while Colton was at mothers-day-out.(sorry buddy, maybe next year) It was opening day, and it just happened to be the coldest day so far....woohoo.....perfect "Fair" weather. Isn't it amazing how the second you walk through the front gate you smell it all.....the corn dogs, funnel cakes, turkey legs, cinnamon rolls, cotton candy...I could go on forever. Then as you make your way towards the back, you just start smelling the barn....hehe. Anyway, we met Lisa, Randall, and Josh there, so the kids had fun riding and visiting the zoo. The adults had fun eating. Lisa and I did manage to ride a couple of the rides with the kids, to which we have come to the realization that we are in our "30's" now, and the rides are not made for us. Nothing a little "fair food" couldn't cure. After lots of up and down, and round and round, we went to the zoo section. We fed the animals, walked through the live stock barn, and called it a day. As much as I love the fair, I love the shower that I take the second I hit the door just as much. There is nothing like that post-fair funk that sends you running to water. So, thanks State Fair of Louisiana.... we are now fatter, dizzier, and stinkier.....see ya next year! Go get um Rae!

WOO-HOO

Something they actually agreed on

She can always find a princessDaddy and Raelee in the fun house

Yes, that warning sign says "do not let small children feed the animals"

"Stripes" the zebra

And, an ice cream cone to finish!
