What a fun trip we had down in Texas last week!
The highlight might have been taking the train up to Dallas to go to the State Fair of Texas.  Wow!  As you might imagine, it is huge!  We went on a rainy day, so it wasn't too crowded.  We had such a great time.

John rode his first roller coaster -- The Worm.

We tasted fried ribs, fried Oreos, fried Jalapenos dipped in chocolate, fried green tomatoes... And Peter had his first funnel cake!  

We also made it up to the Children's Science Museum, which the kids loved.

(That was a huge milestone for me.  That place was crawling with germs and I still had a great time!)

My dad will be moving near Boston this week, so we got to see him before he's no longer a Texan.  We are excited for his new adventures!  John gets so excited to see his Grandpa.

We had such a great time enjoying my mom.  The kids played outside with her forever, and got to have chocolate ice cream cones.  John woke up this morning asking if we were going to get on an airplane to go to Texas today.  We look forward to our next trip!

This was my brother's motorcycle when he was little.  John took one look at it and his eyes got really big and he kept saying hopefully, "Is that for John?"
