This past weekend we had a weekend getaway to Dallas. We drove in Thursday night and stayed with Byron and Megan. Katelyn was so excited to see Uncle Byron and Aunt Meggie (and the dogs)!

Friday morning we got up and headed to the fair before it got too crowded. Those of you who are from Texas know the fair is really all about the food- the fried food! We started off the day with fried butter.

Adelyn was very sad, she wanted a bite too!
It was really pretty good, it tasted like a sopapilla.

Our next stop was for some chicken fried bacon. They took some bacon, gave it a thick batter and then deep fried it. It was okay, but 1/2 a slice was plenty for me. We ended up throwing most of it away because it was a little much!

We took a quick detour into the aquarium to let Katelyn look at the fish, sharks and stingray.

Adelyn was a happy camper being strapped on to Mommy and being carried by Daddy.

Our next stop was the butterfly museum.

After the butterfly's we decided it had been far too long since we ate anything fried, so we stopped off for the award winner of 2010- Fried Frito Pie

The Frito pie was good, but again, a little bit too much for me. I couldn't make a meal out of it! Our next stop was a family picture by big Tex.

As we were leaving he decided to greet us with a "Howdy Folks!" Let's just say Katelyn didn't appreciate the greeting. He was a little large for her liking! By this time we were thirsty and Adelyn was tired so she took a nap while we loaded up on some Coke.
Our next stop was for a turkey leg and fried snickers. The turkey leg was okay, I guess, but I wouldn't waste my money on it again. There is no pretty way to eat a turkey leg, but Jared makes it look good :)

The fried snickers however, worth every penny!!! This was by far my favorite treat of the day. I wanted to eat the whole thing by myself, but I shared with Jared and Katelyn, reluctantly!

After the fair we went back to Byron and Megan's house for an afternoon nap. Then we went to visit some dear friends, Jaime, Aaron, and Makena! Katelyn and Makena don't remember, but they had many play dates before the Duncan family moved. It was so good to see all of them again!

After that brief visit we headed to see Kasey, one of by best friends from HSU. We stayed the weekend in her precious house. She has done a lot of work in her house and it is adorable!

Saturday for lunch we met up with Kacey Thornton and her newest addition, Anna Jay- talk about a precious baby!!!!

That night Kasey and I enjoyed a nice dinner out thanks to Byron and Megan watching Katelyn and Adelyn for me! What a sweet aunt and uncle!

While us girls were having a relaxing weekend, Jared met up with some of his HSU friends for a Rangers game and a weekend to catch up with the guys.

We had such a fun, crazy, busy, enjoyable weekend. I think we wore Katelyn out!
