Pics from the State Fair of Texas:

Taken with my iPhone, so they are not the best quality.

I also didn't take time to edit all of them properly; sorry.

6. Those were the police horses getting their baths

I thought the black one (at the end) was especially beautiful.

When I tried to catch him before going for his bath, this is all I got :-(:

12. Nope

Didn't think my stomach could handle that and a corny dog. And I had to have a corny dog! :9

16. Agreed.

A Fletcher's isn't exactly low fat, but it IS mandatory during the fair.

Consuming chicken fried bacon is just asking for the paddles.

10. I hate seeing pigs penned up like that with urine-soaked sawdust and covered with crap.

Contrary to popular belief, pigs are compulsively clean animals. They only wallow in mud because it cools them; they don't have sweat glands.

15. Oct. 19th

The ferris wheel was great! I've always wanted to go on it. As we boarded, I looked to the attendant and said, "I've wanted to do this my whole life!" He got a big kick out of that. :-)
