As I continue on my 30 before 30 quest, I can check off another item from the list ... #23: Go to the Texas State Fair.

Having grown up in Texas, this was something that I had always wanted to do but every year, for some reason or another, I just wasn't able to make it - until now!

Terrance, Rejeana, Carter and I took a little road trip to Dallas specifically for the fair and we really enjoyed ourselves. To be completely honest, it was absolutely exhausting with Carter, but overall still fun.

Any mom's have any tips about outings with toddler boys? 9 times out of 10, the fun only lasts abouuuuut 10 minutes and then there are tantrums and refusals to cooperate. Anyone else feel me on this? Just have to keep it in perspective and enjoy yourself anyway.
