The Comal County Fair

I haven't been to the Comal County Fair in probably 16 or 17 years! It's a big deal in the New Braunfels area where I'm from though. Everyone goes. They even give the kids the day off from school on Friday for the parade and the fair.

Erica asked me if I wanted to go with her and take the kids. I'm not sure why, but I said yes. So we loaded up Saturday after lunch and drove down there.

The car ride down seemed long, but the kids were pretty good. It was really hot when we got there, but all things considered we had fun and survived intact. For 2 moms with 4 kids that spells success!

We saw the animals, visited the petting zoo and rode a couple of rides. We even saw some old friends that we knew growing up.

From the time we drove up they talked about the Ferris Wheel. It was pretty big and they all wanted to ride it. We weren't sure if they all could or not, but it's all we heard about until we finally made our way over to it. Only Logan wound up riding it. He liked it though! Logan rode this by himself too. There were a couple of other kids sitting with him.

Grace, Ellie and Carter rode the motorcycles and a boat ride.

Best of all (for the kids at least) they got their faces painted. They looked awesome and it didn't smear all over the place.

We even saw one of the worst mullets ever! It was short everywhere except the very back which was long and frizzy. I don't know if the picture does it justice since they had misters in there to keep everyone cool. Check out his shirt. It says, "Ask me about Chickens!"

After we left we met our Dad for dinner at a great Mexican place in New Braunfels (Adobe Cafe). It was nice to see him even for just a little while!

Once we got back home we were all worn out! It was a good day!
