Postcards From State Fair of Texas

 

Everyone loves the Fall season in Dallas!  The Texas heat starts to simmer down and the State Fair of Texas comes to town for all to enjoy.  Needless to say, the fair went out with a big bang this year!  Big Tex burst into flames on the closing weekend leaving a sad empty spot surrounded by news vans where he once stood so tall waving and greeting everyone enjoying the festivities.  It was sad for all but it didn’t stop anyone from having a good time the remainder of the weekend.  We munched out on some of the 2012 winning foods, watched a farmer carve a pumpkin faster than I could ever imagine, checked out some creepy reptiles and of course enjoyed some fun rides.  So glad we didn’t take a ride on the Stratosphere this year…it got stuck right before we decided to call it quits for the day! Sitting 200 feet up in the air on a swing for several hours doesn’t sound like much fun to me.

Can’t wait for next year!
