We LOVE our yearly trip to the State Fair.  We have it down to a science.  We head straight for the food first before the lines get crazy and we hit the Little Farm right around lunch time when the line dies down a bit because everyone else is standing in a crazy long corny dog line.  We try to fit in a dog show and the petting zoo and of course we hit the Midway.  That is usually our final stop.  The kids get to pick one ride (they are crazy expensive) and we are tuckered out and ready to head home for naps about 4 or so hours later!   It is the perfect way to welcome Fall (or the Texas version of fall where it's just chilly enough for a jacket for the first hour and then it's shorts and t-shirts weather).
