It's Hsu Whey's first time at the fair, and a picture with Big Tex was obligatory |
It was on to the food court where - surprise! - we met up with the Walners |
Next stop was at the Colliseum for the 3:00 pm show. This year it's "Spirit of the Dance" |
The Texas Star was looking good on the way to the Garden Center |
The butterfly gardens were profuse with exotic butterflies from all over the world. |
Hsu Whey, Angie, and Connie stopped to have a picture in the butterfly gardens |
Out on the garden walk, Hsu Whey was intrigued by these "yardbirds" |
Connie snapped this picture of me with the girls in front of the garden fountain |
Chevy had this 1934 suburban on display. Guess those Chevys really last! |
The parade was combined with opening ceremonies this year. Luckily Kay Bailey didn't speak too long! |
Later, Jim showed me his dream car |
Connie also found hers. Together they look like Christmas ornaments! |
Even Angie and Hsu Whey had one picked out. |
We made a second visit to the "Spirit of the Dance" show, and afterwards the girls got a picture with some of the dancers. |
Now Jim and Connie have developed a unique strategy for resting up from walking all over the fair grounds! |
"... and I could Waltz across Texas with you" |
Angie and Hsu Whey couldn't resist having their pictures snapped near the "Backyard Circus" tent. |
"I know it's got to be in here somewhere!"
Long story. Ask me sometime! |
Wednesday night we took in Mama Mia at the State Fair Music Hall. |
The following Wednesday found us all back at the fair ..... eating turkey legs again! (Calories and Cholesterol don't count during the fair) |
