Everything's Bigger in Texas

The State Fair of Texas is here!!! October in Dallas, Texas is the best month of the whole year. I cannot even put into words the experience that is the state fair. Taylor told me I turn into a little kid running from place to place so excited for everything. It is truly magical. We spent all afternoon and night there and still have so much more to do and see. But I got a season pass, so there will be plenty more to come.

 

The fair has all the fried food you can eat. I saw fried cactus, fried alligator, fried cotton candy, fried beer, fried butter, fried cupcakes, fried jambalaya, pretty much anything you can imagine. But my favorite is always the chocolate strawberry waffle ball.

The Birds of the World show is one of my favorites.

This bird flew off and they eventually found him sitting on Big Tex.

We watched two birds dive from the top of the Ferris wheel. You can see the bird right over the Ferris wheel in this pic.

Got our picture with a bald eagle.

Marine Drum & Bugle Corp. Another one of my favorites.

Starlight Parade

 

 

 

Petting Zoo

Whatever this brown shaggy animal is, I want one. I also like that the sign says "Is your child bull-headed?"

Very funny camel.

I will do my best to stop making this face.

Big Tex

I want one of these.

One last order of waffle balls.
