Dallas is the home of the Texas State Fair. We had never been to a state fair, so we decided to go. For those who don't know what a state fair is like, allow me to explain. It is like a county fair but with ten times as much of the same stuff. We only tried a tiny dose of all the fried foods that were available. Our favorites were the fried s'mores and fried red velvet cupcake.
There was a big area devoted to showing kids the basic idea of what you do when you work on a farm. Sabrina and Clark both had a really good time.
Sabrina was born to drive a John Deere.
This is the family in front of the new Big Tex. The previous Big Tex burned down last year and people from Dallas are generally not impressed with new Big Tex. For those of us who just got here, he seems just fine. And really big.
My old buddy Cody was passing through town and had time to come to the state fair with us. I thought he didn't need to be back to Pensacola much later than he actually needed to be, so he ended up driving late at night to get back. Sorry about that Cody, glad you made it home safe.
Sabrina talked about going on the carousel the entire time we were at the fair. When we finally got on (at the absurd price of $4 a person) Clark decided he was scared of all the horses and wanted to sit on a bench. Then Sabrina saw us there and decided to join us instead of riding a horse after all. Oh well, as long as they enjoyed it, which they seemed to.
