Who Loves the Fair? We do!

The Hernandez clan loves to go to the State Fair of Texas! I went almost every year as a child then Mondo started going with me in high school. We have now made it a tradition with our kids to go. This year we had some beautiful weather. We took the kids out of school a little early and stayed almost until it closed.

The boys were super excited about the American Ninja Warrior setup they had this year. There was a small kids area where they could do a little competition. They did it over and over... That's Ethan in this pic.

There's Caleb taking his turn...

Their favorite thing to do is still climbing in the cars and "driving" at the car show.

Big Tex!

First snack...nachos for Caleb.

Tornado tators! Our favorite!!

Caleb pretended to ride inside a combine (?) corn tractor thing. He got to steer and press the buttons while watching a video of what he was doing.

Ethan thought this car was amazing.

Caleb needed his pic by the car too. :-)

Caleb is my "plain milk" lover.

So amazing that all of that was carved out of butter!!

Next on Caleb's agenda...cheese pizza!

This was right above us where Caleb was eating his pizza. A bunch of umbrellas strung together. I thought it was cool.

This was definitely the highlight of our day. They boys were able to participate in a junior cooking event. They made little taco salads and omlettes and strawberry smoothies. They were selling a book called "Kids Can Cook".

It was so cute to watch Ethan help his brother.

That woman was the author of the book "Kids Can Cook".

Here's the finished product. A little taco salad and omlette. And you know what? They were delicious!!

We went back over to the American Ninja Warrior setup and watch some people actually compete! They boys were super into it and wanted to do the course too. But it was for adults only.

We had to enjoy a little fried goodness before we left...fried Snickers! Yummo!
