State Fair!!

A couple weeks ago, we decided we would take Harrison to his first State Fair today. We didn't realize until later this was also tx/ou weekend, but we decided we would brave it anyway.

We planned to meet Brandy, Monte, and their two girls there at 11am in front of... Yup, you guessed it Big Tex!! We made it all the way to Dallas with little to no traffic, but as soon as we got on I-30, the traffic got bad quick. When we exited to park, it got even more crazy. We circled around Fair Park once, not purposely, but it worked out fine because we got to scope out our parking choices. We ended up with pretty close parking.

We soon met up with Brandy, Monte, and the girls. We enjoyed some awesome Fletcher's corny dogs, checked out the car tents, and walked through the chicken exhibit. Who knew there were so many kinds of chickens?! Harrison loved them! Poor baby was super tired though, so after that we did alot of walking in hopes he would fall asleep. He finally fell asleep for about 35 minutes and woke up happy and wired! We did a little more walking, got some fried brownies, and decided it was time to head out. We would've liked to stay longer, but there were just way too many people and it was pretty challenging to get anywhere easily. We still had a good time though.

Next time we will make sure we don't go tx/ou weekend!! Too much burnt orange for me ;-)

At 14 months, I am amazed the things Harrison understands and does. 
-Knows his toothbrush and toothpaste go together. 
-Puts his cup on the piano before he goes to bed or down for a nap.
-Gets things when we tell him to.  (cup, snack, toys, books, etc)
-Wipes his face when we ask him too.
-If we take our shoes off in the living room, he throws them over the baby gate to our room.
-Puts Dusty's toys where they belong.
-Brushes his hair.
-Dances.
-Knows where certain body parts are.
-Knows where his snacks and milk are in the kitchen.
 
He is a very busy little boy!  He is constantly on the move and learning something new every day! 
 
These pictures were next to impossible to take this month!  Harrison just wasn't having it.  So, we did the best we could!
