Welcome to the State Fair!

Today was Thor's first experience with the State Fair. He had been looking forward to his first roller coaster ride, and though there are no pictures of that (because I had to ride with him) I can report that he was delighted. I taught him to lift his hands and scream like a girl.

He loved it. He said his favorite part of the fair was the ferris wheel. I'm sure riding the train to Fair Park didn't hurt the experience. And let me just say how much I love the convenience of the new Green Line.

Not even the rain dampened the fun. In fact, it just made it better since the weather kept the crowds and the heat at bay. We just put Thor inside an umbrella (see below) and went for it.
