Ok, so forgive that this is a little late, but here goes-the Texas State Fair Wrap Up from October...and coming, oh, maybe in January or Febuary or March-the Halloween wrap up :)
State Fair ‘09
The day started out oh-so-innocently, so peacefully…
Here we all are-before the beer, massive amounts of fried
food, and other assorted fun...
And then...
The food (oh, so many choices! If they fried a flip flop, do you think we would try it too?)
Marilyn with the fried butter...
Kristen with the cheese from a pump nachos...
and Craig with the...fried flip flop, perhaps?
Kevin made the Strawberry Ice look good...
Jason and the non-fried baklava-
Yvette and Andrea proving that it's ok to play with your food...
Samer chowin' down...seems nothing beats a corndog at the Fair...
What else did we do at the Fair besides the eating, you say?
Well, we did lots of things, and learned some things like...
The yearly 'almost-a-tradition' bumper car fun at 4pm is a real good outlet
for Steve to take out annoying employees with frequent IT issues.
Let's just say it's a good thing I couldn't ride in the cars this year.
We also learned that one too many beers, corndogs and general fried loveliness usually gets you sick, or, talked into Eleni's yearly double-dog-dare-you rides..
or, in Derek's case, a visit with the Po-Po?
We also learned that even the striaght laced, left brained, logical Finance people of our group can cut loose and have fun, like Evan here...
And we were also reminded of something we already knew-
that our company takes fun very seriously...and is a seriously great place to work.
Now, on to the countdown for next year!
