We really enjoyed our annual visit to the State Fair of Texas!
Checking out the cars and Esther thinks she's a star!
Jacob taking in all the action and noise.
Taking a break.
Daron took the older kids on the Texas Star ferris wheel. That thing is 20 stories high. So I kept my feet on firm ground and stayed with Jacob.
The carousel is an antique from the 1920s, I believe.
Jacob sat on a horse for a little while and was loving the wind blowing in his face. But he was so wiggly that I had to take him off and just hold him.
Every year we see the Kroger Birds of the World show. It's a conservation effort as well as an educational and fun show about birds. They always have two that fly into the amphitheater from the ferris wheel. Here is Nathan giving a bird a donation. The bird took it and put it in the box.
Big Tex - just days before he was lost to fire. RIP Big Tex...
This year there was a Chinese Lantern Festival. There were gorgeous lit pandas, pagodas, dragons, walkways, mermaids, lotus flowers, fans, etc. It was really quite pretty.
This dragon was made of China plates!
What would a lantern festival in Texas be without a herd of longhorn cattle?
