East Texas State Fair 2011





Abby LOVED the cows! She wanted to go see them again on our way out.

Pony rides.

There was a Wizard of Oz theme this year.

I think this Dorthy was a former member of a African neck stretching tribe.

We met up with the Dancy's for a quick photo op.

Then it was time for dinner! Yummy!

Anne was dying to get her face painted especially since we made her wash of the glitter crown from the previous weekend.
Abby wasn't old enough to qualify for face painting.
Thankfully she didn't get to upset.

After face painting it was time to ride the rides.






THE PIG RACES!




Swifty the swimming pig.
She'll be going for the Genius Book of World Records fastest swimming pig
next week in South Dakota.

There were two sets of police and EMT workers at the show.
I guess there have been a lot injuries and rioting at the previous races.

Anne making her signature pig face.

Waiting for the races to begin.

Cotton Candy

Finally, a visit to the firefighters booth.
See you next year!
