Doug and Mona drove up for the weekend to go to the State Fair with the Dallas Duke crew. I have never seen so much fried food in my life. Ever heard of fried butter, fried Snickers, or fried beer? Ech. The fried cookie dough and fried cheesecake might have been alright, but I passed. We went to a petting zoo:
Longhorn
Turtle and Kangaroos
Have you ever seen a 4-horned sheep? It was a first for me...
...as were the pig races.
This was Tommy about 2 seconds before the ride started and the car BOLTED. Poor guy had a look of sheer terror:
The car show was torture for Tommy, who loves to drive. He finally got to get in a few of them:
A walk with Papa made him happy...
...as did the Blue Bell ice cream Mimi gave him.
But no sweets for my sweet!
The little boys in their sweet ride:
The big boys deciding to do the Speed Pitch:
Autrey reliving his glory days. So fast it's blurry:
Matt and Autrey are convinced the speed gun was wrong. Autrey threw 54 mph. Way less than the 85 mph he used to in college. But he beat Matt, so it wasn't a total loss. Tommy was also disappointed with his lack of strength. Haha:

There was a little parade:

how about fried cauliflower? and i can't believe autrey only threw 54 mph. i always throw at least 120 and i never even played baseball. just sayin... :D
ReplyDelete120, huh? That's what he USED to throw. If what you say is true, I guess now he throws like a girl. Worse, actually...hehe. And yes, they had the cauliflower there.
ReplyDeleteWow this is such a cute suit!!! Wow!!! THat's an awesome state fair! Were their weight watchers flyers available on the way out of the fair!?! Love the splash pad video! I love that he gets water sprayed in his face and it doesn't faze him!
ReplyDeleteEverything is bigger, better and fried in Texas!! Did Autrey need any physical therapy on his shoulder after coming out of his college baseball days? Cute pictures!!
ReplyDeleteokay, maybe i don't throw that fast. maybe...
