Burton Cotton Gin Festival

Saturday provided the best weather for a festival!
We headed out to Burton to the cotton gin festival to see what is was all about. we have never been before so it was a neat experience.
I am all about festivals, i would go to a festival every weekend, but my stick-in-the-mud husband is no fun and doesn't really like it.
I like to hang out, really LOOK at everything that is going on, look at all the historical stuff, and of course the carnivals! i love the sensory overload!
S on the other hand, likes to look quickly and leave.
We did have a lot of fun though, watching the big parade come through town was neat. we couldn't tour the cotton gin because of the stroller, and we skipped the carnival.
K had a blast in the petting Zoo. they had the best petting zoo i have ever seen! and he LOVED the antique tractors on display! T couldn't have care less, he just did not want in the stroller!

For our friends of the Texas A&M persuasion, we got this picture with Bevo, the UT mascot!
I did not know anything about him so i researched a little and he is the
14th longhorn to hold the honor of being Bevo.







Just a quick snap-shot to remember where we were. of course we were there in the middle of the day, without a cloud in the sky, not great for getting pictures of the fam!
