We saw that there was going to be a tiny house village at the fairgrounds for Earth Day weekend, so we decided to go and see them. We are fascinated by tiny houses, and really wanted to go inside a few. Unfortunately, there were slow moving lines at least 50 people long at each of the 10 or so tiny houses they had, so we didn't see any of them. We did see lots of other neat stuff, like dolphin and rhino skulls, and a live peregrine falcon. There was also a fire department display that taught kids fire safety. They had to crawl across the floor and feel the door with the back of their hand, then crawl over to the window and jump out.
There was a small but very cool petting zoo. It had an Asian deer, turkeys, rabbits, chickens, goats, a wallaby and a kangaroo. Those last two might not be so exciting for everybody reading this, but in Dallas, it is exciting to pet a kangaroo and a wallaby.
There were a couple of people on stilts who had plant life all over them. Or they were ents. We still aren't sure which it was.
Clark also got his first trophy after visiting the big game hunting booth. I have a feeling that a lot of other presenters took issue with this display, which is why my wife loved it even more.
The kids planted some porcupine seeds they had gotten from Oma and Opa at Easter time, and they finally bloomed last week!
Apparently they were just porcupine puppet seeds, but the kids are sure happy to have them. They are named Fred and Lizzy.

What a joy to see the fun they have with "magical" seeds. You never know what will grow. Love Opa
