What A Day to Visit the Fair!

My dad drove into Dallas to take Ford to the State Fair. We arrived shortly after ten o'clock only to learn that Big Tex had burned to the ground moments earlier! 




Here's the spot where Big Tex once loomed tall, waving howdy and welcoming all fair-goers.

A helicopter hovered overhead for sometime as people lined up to purchase Big Tex t-shirts, bobble heads, and other memorabilia. We won't have to mourn his passing for too long, though; Big Tex will be rebuilt. Ford was curious, but not exactly disappointed. Big Tex was a giant he always preferred to look at from afar. To be fair (no pun intended), the massive cowboy is a little freaky.

Despite the loss, our day was full of fun. We rode rides, ate fried foods, visited the petting zoo, and played games. Looking forward to going again next year, when Emmy can partake in the fun!


















 Until next year!
