State Fair of Texas Celebrating 125 Years!!!

This year unlike other years, I did not take Sydney to the State Fair during the off days from school which usually fall on Monday & Tuesday. Instead, we decided to make the trek down to Fair Park this afternoon.

As soon as we got off of the car, I thought we would soon be getting back on it and heading back home. You see, the $1 sandals I had bought Sydney at the $.99 cent store last week, decided its dollar's worth was over right in the parking lot and her left flip flop died.

The next 30-45 minutes would prove to be trying of all three of our patience. Frank decided to put Sydney on his shoulders while we made the trek through the fair grounds in search of some replacement flip flops for Sydney. We made a pit stop to see a Ronald McDonald magic show of sorts and Sydney decided to throw a temper tantrum there that quickly got us moving back on track in search of some shoes before calling it a quick day at the fair.

We walked into one show room and had no luck there so on went Sydney on Frank's shoulders again, then we caught sight of another showroom and headed in there. We thought we had struck gold when we spotted a little stand with collegiate slippers only to discover that they were only in adult size...we continued with hopes still high and right on the left hand corner was a stand of Justin products, yes, the cowboy gear Justin boots stuff that had a $20 sale of flip flops. I quickly started trying on the different sizes to see if we would find one that fit for Sydney and luckily the medium size one ended up being the perfect cinderella fit. I handed the cashier my debit card and off we went after $22.00 with a star-studded brown Justin pair of flip flops.

Thanks to the life saver of that corner Justin brand store shop and the sweet & very happy cashier, the rest of our visit to the fair went off without a hitch. We enjoyed a corny dog, a turkey leg, some lemonade, a coke and to finish off the day and our tickets, a funnel cake.

Pictures will come tomorrow as I forgot my external memory drive at work.
