Actually, now that I think about it, I don't recall hearing Big Tex at all with his booming voice and signature "Howdy folks!" Strange. I wonder how often he talks? Anyhow, the weather was perfect, the crowd was bustling but not overwhelming, and great fun was had by all.
"Wow, this lion has some really big teeth."

Checking out a life-sized version of Sophie the giraffe (while suffering from a serious case of sweaty head). I'm sure Scarlett would have gnawed on one of her legs, too, if given the chance. You can't tell from the picture, but the real-life Sophie was licking a light bulb. Probably not a wise move, Sophie.

"Hello, Longhorn. What long horns you have." (And no, that is not Scarlett grabbing the "bull by the horns." Her arm is the chubby one below. Actually, just to be clear, the chubby one in the middle.)
"How's it going, Goat. Say hi to your mother for me."
Plotting our next move.
Scarlett inspects the "You must be this tall to ride this ride" sign. She's tall, but not that tall. Maybe in a few years, Scarlett.

The giant slide, just like the one at Western Playland back in the day.

Papa Tig wins the race with a come-from-behind win!

Scarlett's first carousel ride on her trusty steed "Ariel." What fun!
Rubber duckies as far as the eye can see. So many rubber duckies to chew on, so little time ...
A clown came up to say hello. Scarlett wasn't freaked out, but she wasn't exactly enamored with him. In fact, I'd say she was downright suspicious (but can you really blame her?).

Exhausted after a big day at the fair. Until next year ...
