Fun Times with Nana and Poppa

My parents came to visit us for a week and we had so much fun! We kept very busy and Kenslee was loving life. They came down to go to the Utah vs. TCU football game, when it came down to it my mom wanted to stay with Kens and I to play so Billy went with my Dad to support the Utes! At first he was giving me a hard time telling me that it will be fun because it is a football game but he won't cheer for the Utes. The day of the game he was so excited and he even wore a red hat to the game and he told me that he has realized that he needs to give a little to make is wife and in-laws happy. I think that he is slowly turning into a Utah fan!! GO UTES!

We went to the Texas State Fair and this was an experience! I have never seen so many fried foods in my life, it was unbelievable and of course we had to test a few of them out. This fair is known for their corndogs and fried foods, they had fried oreos, snickers, coke, latte, cookie dough, PB&J(yummy), I can't even remember them all, it was crazy! We thought that we needed to try a few things just to say that we had tried it and by the end of the night we were all feeling so sick(thank goodness for pepcid). We started the night with the great, hearthealthy corndogs, then ventured on to the fried cookie dough and coke, then we couldn't pass up the fried snickers. I do have to say that we were so close to trying the fried PB&J, but as we were in line for it we all decided that no one could handle any more. I have to say I am a little dissappointed, it did look pretty good!

Delicious Fried Snickers

MMMmmmmmmmmm...

Kenslee's favorite part of the fair was the pig races and the petting zoo, she could not stop talking about it for the next few days.

Waiting for the Pig Race to start

Go Red Pig!!

We went to downtown Dallas and went to the Sixth Floor museum. It was SO interesting--it is kind of crazy to see the actual place where JFK got shot.


The Museum is in the red brick building and the window where the shooter was is the one right on the end on the sixth floor.

We went to the Fort Worth Stockyards, I loved it there, I felt like we were in total cowboy country back in the day. There were saloons everywhere and full-on Cowboys walking around and riding their horses. I almost purchased some cowboy boots, I am going to get myself some before too long... YEEHA!

Texas Longhorns

We made it back to the Pumpkin Patch and the weather was gorgeous!
(If you have noticed that my Mom and I are matching, sometimes we just can't help it that we have very similar taste!)

This was a spooky tree that they carved a witch face and a couple of owls into it. It is a real tree that died so I guess they decided to keep it there and turn it SPOOKY!

It was so much fun having Nana and Poppa here! Thanks for everything, we love and miss you! Can't wait to see you next month!
