The Texas Country Reporter Festival

Since it was a beautiful Saturday and we had nothing planned to do, we ended up at the Texas Country Reporter festival in Waxahachie, TX. It is about a 40 minute drive from us. Madison and I attended 2 years ago and there were some pretty neat vendors there. The town is pretty neat too. Some really nice old homes. So we called up Uncle Aaron and we were off shortly after lunch. One of the first things we came to was a horse to pet. Kegan wasn't very thrilled about it at all to my disappointment. I thought she would think it was a really big dog or something....because she really likes to pet dogs and cats.

Reluctant to pet the horse

Do I really have to touch this thing?

Ooooh, that's really soft, like a really good pillow!

On this one we learned that it is true that when you lean on a horse, it leans back.

Next, we were off to find the kettle corn. The kettle corn here is possibly some of the best in the world. We ate some of that and washed it down with a huge glass of sweet tea. Both of these Kegan enjoyed thoroughly. Then we moved on the the New York hotdog guy. This guy came today with 1,000 dogs and at 4:00, we were buying 2 of the last 5. I would never eat a hotdog with onions or sauerkraut, but for some reason it all goes beautifully on his dogs. He runs a little stand off some random highway and people come for miles to get his dogs...for good reason too. As Kegan's first hotdog....she absolutely loved it. What is it with kids and hotdogs? I got 2 bits of mine and she ate the rest.

Shoveling it in

Impatience!!

Little Miss Piggy!!

Finally slowing down, really, how much can that tummy hold?

She even enjoyed chewing on the foil wrapper, that was good and all until we realized she was gnawing little bits off with her piranha chompers.

Protesting that I took her foil away for the picture.
