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 Wallners
|
Next stop was at the Coliseum 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)
