Need I mention once again how much I love the State Fair of Texas? My parents came in town yesterday and we battled the cool weather and potential rain for an all-around amazing day. We saw the usual, including but not limited to:
Big Tex (unfortunately crooked and with his head cut off - will need to find a different random photographer next year)
The Pumpkin Carver - working on Oprah
The Butter Sculpture
AND - drumroll please....
OPRAH IN PERSON!!!!!
I knew she was going to be there today - October 12 - but apparently she made the rounds and was filming a day early. We caught her walking out of the Embarcadero and into her suburban to be transported to the next place of filming. I pretended like I was TMZ and took a video of her also. Had we gone today, there's NO WAY we would've gotten this close or been able to see her in person. WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!
Among the traditional corny dog, we also tried fried oreos and fried snickers. The fried snickers was amazing, and may become a new annual tradition in my book. We got drenched on the way out as the skies parted and rain came down, but all in all it was another spectacular trip to the Fair...
