First Visit to the State Fair

Last weekend we went to Dallas for the State Fair. Robert and I go every year and were looking forward to introducing Claire to Big Tex. We figured she would enjoy looking around, but we were pleasantly surprised by how much she seemed to enjoy it, especially looking at the animals. A few of the things we saw:

Sand sculpture (this year's had an Egyptian theme in honor of the King Tut exhibit at the DMA)

Turkeys

Lambs and baby goats


Baby camel


A hungry lion


Cotton candy


Fletcher's Corny Dogs (Mommy and Daddy each had one - maybe next year, Claire!)


Big Tex and his new yellow shirt!




The fair wiped her out - she fell asleep chewing on Monkeys.


We stayed with Ma and Bob.


We also visited Great-Granddad and Great-Grandmommy, but forgot to take a picture with them. On Sunday we enjoyed visiting our former church, Northwest Bible, and had lunch with the two families who led our small group. It was a packed weekend, and we're looking forward to going back soon.
