State Fair 2008

Big Tex and I are buddies .. this is my 2nd trip to the Texas State Fair. Check out my first trip at http://everettalexander.blogspot.com/2007/10/fair-day.html





Of course, food is the main attraction... deep fried avacado was the first treat











Mom is really enjoying it












And all I get is a box of crackers?













Next, deep fried grilled cheese sandwich














Bachan takes a big bite...













Dad, I want some too













Well, maybe those crackers were a better choice












next on the list is deep fried banana split (without the banana)












Mom gets her share, all I get is water














but, at least, I get to walk around ...












Dad isn't sharing his fried peanut butter and jelly sandwich with anyone.












what's this? Mom is eating "fire and ice" - fried pineapple with ice cream, strawberries and other yummy stuff











Last treat is country fried bacon - as if bacon doesn't have enough grease, we Texans have to put batter on it and deep fry it...












Bachan enjoyed it and washed it down with a Diet Coke - a nice balanced meal













It's now the end of the day and I'm ready to go home. See you next year at the fair.
