Last weekend we headed up the interstate to Dallas for some good fun. It was great to get away and play (even if it was only for a day).
First we went to see the Broadway Musical The Lion King. It was absolutely amazing. If you like the movie then you will LOVE the musical. I would definitely recommend it!!!
While we were at Dallas Fair Park we went to the largest state fair in the United States- the State Fair of Texas.
(I have to apologize for the quality of the pictures. We forgot our camera, so these were taken with our camera phone.)
This guy to the left is Big Tex. He wears size 70 boots and a 75-gallon hat and towers 52' above wide-eyed visitors. He made his debut at the State Fair in 1952. Big Tex welcomes visitors to the State Fair with his deep southern accent.
To the right is the famous Texas Star. It is the largest Ferris Wheel in North America. The Ferris Wheel has 44 gondolas that hold 264 riders.
The State Fair is known for introducing very unique foods. While at the fair we thought we'd try one of them. To the left is a Fried Coke. Andrew and I split it, but still weren't able to finish it. It was too sweet!!

Very cool.... I have got to get some fried coke, that sounds awesome! How in the world did you rope the Moose into a Broadway musical? You must have some seriuos blackmail material on him.
Hey now, I enjoy a musical as much as the next guy...er..well, I DO actually enjoy some of 'em. I'm cultured that way, DOC.
Muy impressive amigo! You are indeed in touch with your female moose side.
A fried coke! Wow I've never heard of that but now I must have one. Sounds horrible and interesting!
Everything's bigger in Texas!
