State Fair

 

Ok we couldn't resist a fair and the State Fair of Texas is it for Dallas.

 

As we hadn't been to a state fair for a while it was a bit of a surprise. Hey, the fairgrounds are normally dirt, right, and there are a lot of animals and all the things that they eat and then get rid of, there were sideshows of all kinds of weird misfits of humanity .... sorry, that was somewhere else, apparently a bit of time ago.

The venue here is on the east side of Dallas. The midway is a huge area of concrete and permanent structures slick and clean with many places to eat anything fried and many places to spend money on games of "not much chance" and plenty of rides for all ages.

We did have a great time for several hours on a beautiful day with the grandson. Here's g'ma in her glory showing both son-in-law and grandson her normal driving expertise on the streets of Dallas. In spite of my missing the nastiness of fairs gone past this was a wonderful place for the young folks and Ev had a super, but tiring time.

And the new Big Tex (after he burned down last year) booms out a continuing dialog on the place and the events to come.

We had a great day at the fair and ate way too much fried stuff .... but way good ... I mean they even have deep fried butter.

We took the light rail system from near Leigh's house and it stopped right at the fairgrounds so after a super fun day for all the ride home was really smooth as well ... no parking or freeway hassle.
