We hadn't been to the State Fair since before Emma was born and we thought this year the girls would actually be able to enjoy it! Which they did! We got to the Fair nice and early on the last Friday and it was great. Emma and Maggie were in awe of just the sounds, the smells and everything to look at! Even though we were there for several hours it doesn't seem like we did much, but we had fun!

| Emma loves measuring how tall she is! |

Pretending to collect eggs!
(They seemed to like pretending more than the real life thing at home!) |

| Farmer Maggie |

| Happy Maggie Piggie! |
 |
These goats were ruthless! They've learned just to
grab the whole cup! |
 |
| Petting Zoo fun! |
 |
| Sweet little piggies! |
 |
| Can't go to the Fair without getting a corndog! |
 |
| Family Fun at the Fair! |
So after a fun day at the Fair, Billy and I got a chance to get away from our little ladies and go hang out in Fredericksburg for a few nights. It was wonderful. Just being on our schedule and not worrying about kid stuff. (We love worrying about kid stuff, don't get me wrong...) It's the first time we've ever left them for more than one night. We thought they were going to miss us so much... but they did great! Billy had found a nice little house outside of town and the only things we could hear we the birds and the occasional moo-ing. It was a wonderful recharge for us as a couple and as parents and we are thankful for the opportunity to get away. Above all else, I enjoyed the great uninterrupted conversations we had. (and Alfredos, see below)

We stopped here for lunch in Lampassas. If you ever drive through
there, DO NOT MISS OUT on Alfredos! We almost went back on our way
home but we didn't drive thru Lampassas. |

So thankful for this man and the way he loves me and his daughters. And so blessed to get away with him and just slow down.
