If you've read my blog for awhile, then you know that I LOVE the fair! To me, it is the signal of fall and all the wonderfulness that is soon to happen. I just love the fair.
The Oklahoma State fair is so good. On Saturday, Trey and I went and of course had a blast.
It was a beautiful (technically) fall day. It was about 85, which was nice, but 75 would have been ideal!
The view when we arrived.
So exciting! We got there around 3 in the afternoon.
I didn't eat anything all day, so I could eat some delicious fair food! YAY!
We both had a corn dog when we first got there. It was technically our lunch. :)
We browsed through the booths set up in the buildings. One booth had this little dough presser-thing, so you could make your own Uncrustables. It was fun to watch the demo, but all it made us want was an apple strudel we had seen earlier! So, we split one and it was goooood.
This fair experience was a little different than previous ones. We did a wine tasting at this booth. It is a new winery in OKC, called Urban. It was fun to taste their wines. They were very unique, too. Usually, I can't tell a big difference in wines, but these were distinct. We ended up taking a bottle home, too.
Later, while we were sharing an Indian Taco, we saw this sea lion show going on. We walked over to watch it and it was extremely fascinating.
I was shocked at how smart they were. If you ever get a chance to watch sea lions, you must! It was fabulous!
I ended up getting a picture with them! I just couldn't resist! They were so cute. They knew to put their heads on you when you posed. The trainer told one of them to kiss me when I got up there. It was so neat. They were SOOOO heavy on my shoulders. That's why I look a little hunched over. (Oh, and this is a picture of a photograph, so it's not the best quality.)
We didn't ride any rides this year, instead we stood and watched people on rides and marveled at how scary they were. Seriously, they all seemed like such a bad idea. It made my heart race just to watch them! And I used to LOVE rides.
They sure are pretty, though.
We realized we hadn't take a pic at the fair, so on the way out we snapped one. Not the best, but it will do for memory's sake!
It was a fabulous fair experience!

I love the pic of you and the sea lions! They are adorable!! I've never seen sea lions at the fair. Crazy!
Looks like so much fun! All that food is making me hungry! :)
we were at the fair Saturday too! But we went first thing in the morning and were headed out before y'all were even getting there! Last year was our first time to go, but I think it's the greatest fair! so much to see and explore... and eat! ha
where did you get the red and blue bird figurines on the shelf behind you in the first pic? LOVE them!
