The state fair of Texas
I took a few days off last week and we went to the Texas State Fair in Dallas. I’ve lived all twenty-seven years of my life in this state, but I’d never been to the fair before. There were people that told me it was a lot of fun, and the photos I’d seen of Big Tex and the giant Ferris wheel were pretty cool, but that didn’t make me want to drive three hours and deal with crowd madness. I’m also fairly certain that Clyde Bruckman came to me in a dream one night and said I was going to bite the big one in a terrible roller coaster accident orchestrated by some psycho carnie with a grudge against people with big heads.
Well that said, we had a great time. We ate stuff on a stick, walked a few miles, road a few rides, fed the animals, and watched The Flying Housecats. Big Tex was pretty impressive too.
I’ve posted the photos from our trip in the photo section. They aren’t exactly Blurbomat quality, and I can’t be accused of staging great shots, but they get the job done. Oh, and I’m too tired to write any captions, but you probably weren’t going to read them anyway.
Enjoy!
