my parents came up the friday before to spend the weekend with us. on friday we went to arlington to watch those A.L. West Champion Rangers...lose. oh well, it was still fun.
bad seats..can ya tell??
saturday we got up and headed to the texas state fair. none of us had ever been before so we were excitedddd. it was texas/ou weekend aka the worst day possible to go to the fair but we didnt care! i was ready for some fried goodness.
we started off with some fletchers corn dogs..45 min wait but well worth it.
we then moved on to fried oreos which i am embarrassed to say are AMAZING. lucky i dont know a single place besides the fair that sells these.
walking around the midway
my parents in their longhorn crap, i mean clothes, in front of the cotton bowl
and a visit to Big Texafter perusing the fair and trying out our goodies, my dad and blake set up shop to watch the game while my mom and i went into some of the shopping areas.
we left the fair at halftime to go home and get ready for dinner. for dinner we went to the porch which is one of my favorite restaurants in dallas. it seriously has the best macaroni and cheese EVER! (blake and my parents agree) im obsessed.
sunday i opened presents and am the proud new owner of a Garmin Forerunner 405 watch. so cool! i also got a new jacket so that is exciting as well.
the weather was soooo nice so my mom and i headed out for an 11 mile run. unfortunately my new toy had to charge so i didnt get to bring it with me :(
we ended the weekend with lunch at chipotle before my parents left and then a lazy day for blake and i.
monday night blake took me to a super yummy, fancy dinner at Cool River Cafe where i had a delicious steak and tried their maccaroni (didnt stack up any where near that of the porch).
after dinner
all in all it was a wonderful birthday filled with lots of love, sweet messages and cards from friends, and even a random indian lady singing me a bday song about shaking my presents or something like that (thanks amy!).
