As a Texan myself, I realized how differently we look at trucks. Every truck is huge here, so when I see a “normal” truck I think “what a cute little truck!”
I drive a "full-size" Silverado from several years back and I parked next to a modern Ranger yesterday. Ford's mini trucks are now bigger than mine! What the duece?!
I know. If you were to see a single cab or extended cab these days, you’d think it is small. LOL. Embarrassingly it is now just my husband and me (we have grown grandkids and we have two double can pickups and a Buick Enclave.
@@danielnelson9411 not too far of a road trip. I know what states I have to travel through, lol. I go over to Louisiana, I haven't been to Texas in years, I lived there for a short time. I know to drive to Houston it's 7 hrs 45 minutes.
You know, as an American it's so easy to overlook the good and only focus on our problems and all the divisiveness going on here in the country these days. It's so pleasant and refreshing to take a break from all that, watch one of your videos and remember that there truly are a lot of great and wonderful things going on here. Thank you so much for that! I've thoroughly enjoyed the videos you have shared so far from your American trip, and I'm very much looking forward to more!
@@alex5308 Especially after watching that State of Confusion speech last night. But regardless of your political affiliation, we, as Americans, seriously do have a helluva lot of things about which to be proud. Just not our current political situation...
@@dlshadyyeah those Republican rebuttals and Margie Taylor Green's craziness were so extreme and gross. Wish Republicans would just end their extreme cultish Behavior towards Trump already
TBH, I do that all the time...like a powdered sugar donut...I take a bite but inhale at the same time, choke on the sugar, then cough out a big cloud of powdered sugar! 😂💨
Just so you New Zealanders know, we Americans love you guys! We love how much you appreciate everything in our country! You are honorary Americans! And we love your accents! You are always welcome here!
Just one observation- HOW in the WORLD did Nadine survive wearing white??? If I wore white, it'd be "tie dyed" with all manner of food spillage! Good job, Nadine!
Both of the girls looked really cute in their outfits. Love the boots! They look Texan, 🤠, they they sound like New Zealanders. 😂 I always wore white to the fair. Always made my tan look darker. But, yes, it would get stained, or ripped by a goat, or something...lol.. Great comment! 🕊️🇺🇸♥️🎄🎼🎁
Can't lie as a native Californian, who's been a resident of Lone Star for (most of my life) 40 years, the Texas state fair IS America's State Fair!!! 🌟💖 So glad you enjoyed it!!!
I'm glad you enjoyed Texas. As a Texas native myself, I am proud that you guys loved our beautiful state. The only thing I regret is not being able to meet you guys whilst you were here.
@@ChirumboloFilmAnd of the rare proper usage of said word, even more rare is to see it being complimented. So kudos to you for spotting it and complimenting it! 🙂💙
As a native Texan and Dallasite - - THANK YOU for showing off our State Fair. Hug everybody, eat ALL of every kind of food you see, and c'mon back home anytime you want. The back door will be open.
Y'all were blessed to have visited the largest state fair in the United States!! Over 2.5 million people visited the Texas State Fair in 2023 (which is pretty typical). So glad y'all got to experience it! Definitely worth making a trip next year to visit again....just make sure to give yourselves 3 or 4 days to see everything lol
@@heatherharroff4790 MN actually is though. We have a much smaller population than Texas, our fair is shorter, and we STILL get a crowd nearly as large as Texas.
We Americans get made fun of by foreigners because we use cars to get around everywhere but most foreigners don't really understand how big this country is! We can drive for hours and still be in the same state, days in the case of Texas.
There's a saying- "The sun'll rise, and the sun'll set, and you STILL won't be out of Texas yet!" Having made a LOT of coast-to-coast drives in my life, almost a third of the drive using the southern route (I-10) is in Texas!
Born and raised in Dallas, and let me tell you. You guys came at the absolute perfect time!! It doesn’t get more Texan than the Texas State fair. So glad y’all got to enjoy it!! It’s something all Texans look forward too every year.
Same. My mom was overdue to have me so they walked the State Fair. It worked like a charm and now my birthday is always during the fair. We went every year.
Nadine is back in my favorite outfit this time. Sam's ready to immigrate for brisket alone. Denzel seems destined for standup or improv & Atlanta just lights up any place with her smile.
I was a little disappointed they chose are over cattle(livestock). Those Texas longhorns are more of a sight to behold than a car. But that’s just my opinion. Those longhorns are an awesome sight. Really unbelievable till you see them in person. Oh well, maybe next time.
Fun fact. Big Tex's shirt was stolen one year in transport to the fairgrounds and my grandmother was one of the women that got to help sew the replacement shirt. It makes me smile every time I see him.
Several years ago Big Tex caught fire due to an electrical short circuit and shocked everyone as he was quickly engulfed in flames; the shocking video is available here on UA-cam It's great to see that they fully restored him since he really IS a Texas icon!
If y'all would've went to this Texas State Fair in early October, you could've caught an insane college football rivalry game between the Oklahoma Sooners and Texas Longhorns. One of the biggest rivalries in college football, and the game was crazy this year.
Lois was so great to have gifts waiting for you guys! What a nice lady. I got a sweet Auntie vibe from her. It was great to see you guys really enjoying yourselves at the fair!
I can't tell you how much I enjoy your family! The kids are so well behaved, and just adorable. Nadine is hilarious, and I'd just love to hug her, and obviously Dad is a great husband and father. God love you all. America loves you! 💞💖💝💖💞
@@stevep2380 No doubt about that. There are over sized, gross portions of food everywhere you look, doesn't mean you have to eat it all at once like a glutton. These folks tried a bit of everything while walking around. Americans sit and shove gobs of food down their gullet in an hour, go home and sleep. My comment was more in line with appreciating their pleasure with our hospitality.
@@stevep2380 News Flash: The whole world has a Obesity problem. Even in Countries like Saudi Arabia, or Asian Countries like China and South Korea. Europe alone is 2nd to the US in Obesity. If you need proof, use Google or even UA-cam where there are TONS of Documentaries on Obesity in those Countries. No one is "wondering" about America bc America is KNOWN to be Bountiful, Plentiful, and Americans overindulge. Just take care of your own Fatties without always bringing up America. 🙄
Big Tex started out as the worlds largest Santa Claus around 1949 in a little town named Kerens, Texas which is about 8 miles from where I live. It was built in the hopes that it would draw customers from Corsicana and Dallas. People lost interest and it was sold to the state fair for $750. It was first shown in 1952. If you google it there is a photo of it in 1949 in Kerens, dressed as Santa.
The head of the original Big Tex now makes an appearance around the holidays (yes, he's wearing a Santa hat again) on the roof of a house in Dallas best known for having a front yard literally full of something like 300 illuminated blow mold vintage Santas. The whole house decoration display is amazing!
Next state fair you gotta check out is the Minnesota State Fair. It is the largest in the country in terms of visitors per day. To put it in to perspective the Minnesota State Fairs averages about 150k people per day, with some days exceeding 200k people. Texas is about 95k people per day.
These videos from America are so much fun to watch. Seeing you react to America from your house on UA-cam videos to actually being in the states and seeing it all for yourself. So so awesome!!
Well,, we know what Denzel wants for his first car!!! LOL!!! The powdered sugar thing was hilarious! SO glad y'all enjoyed a little taste of Texas! Y'all is the State Word Of Texas, but do you know the PLURAL form? It's ALL Y'ALL!!! 🤣
As a New Englander (Connecticut) I enjoyed watching you explore Texas since I’ve never been. (Except for the Dallas airport which doesn’t really count lol) I’m living vicariously through you lol Glad you had a blast. And love the cowboy boots, ladies! 💖
You missed the animals?!?! Looks like you had a wonderful time, and enjoyed everything you experienced. Glad your trip(s) to the states were full of fun!
The Cotton Bowl is a football stadium - where The Ohio State Buckeyes are playing Missouri Tigers at the Cotton Bowl - bowl game on 12/29/23 - you should see if you can stream it - and say - we were there!!! LOL By the way -- The Ohio State Fair is about that size too - but we have a huge Cardinal (not cowboy) as that is our State bird! By the way -- I'm with you on the apples - when I make Candied or Carmel apples, I use Granny Smith applies or Pink Lady -- like them crunchy and firm! They maybe used Delicious applies...which are grainy and melly to me too!
I actually won a giant stuffed dog at the minnesota state fair on that same plate game when I was 12, and I made the mistake of doing it right upon getting there and had to carry that massive stuffed dog w me all day! I love how wholesome this family is. My parents got divorced when I was two, and had a decent stepfather, but I can't imagine the security of growing up in a house w both parents... but it looks pretty amazing in this family!
When they started off and got the gift bags, all I could think was, I hope they have lockers to stow that stuff in the rest of the day. Carrying that all day would be a real pain.
I loved just seeing my New Zealand Family learning about our history and culture, and trying our food; I'm overjoyed at the sheer exuberance you all exude in these videos. Many others have said it, but from here in Michigan, you've earned an honorary (or dual...?) citizenship, in my eyes. Much love to the fam
It’s so fun to watch y’all! Had to stop the video when the puff of powdered sugar sprayed across Nadine‘s face! That cracked me up so bad lol that was so funny! I had to stop the video just so I could laugh because I could not pay attention any longer! This is the kind of content I enjoy. Clean family content. Thank you guys so much for putting it out here for us all to enjoy. It’s so nice to have a choice in what you watch instead of what is force fed you on television.
Next year come during Texas/OU weekend. You’ll get to experience an authentic college football game and enjoy the fair at the same time. Also the Ferris wheel at nighttime is definitely a highlight that you shouldn’t miss! Thanks for coming to Dallas. Glad you had fun!
Aw! I love that you got to go to Texas! I used to live there and you DON'T MESS WITH TEXAS! 😅❤ That big dill pickle is so awesome! They sell them at the movie theater and always liked a bite of pickle and then some popcorn! Yum! You got set up nice with the gifts at the beginning. Such a nice lady!❤
I think Nadine has turned into an American dill pickle fan while she was here. Did you see her dive for those pickle spears when she spotted them with the BBQ sandwich? 😂😂
I never understood why so many British people (I know they're from NZ but it seems more common in the UK) don't like pickles. Then I went there a ton of times and realized there isn't a good pickle to be found anywhere on that island...
Thank you so much for coming out! We loved seeing your trip! If you ever come back, let us know! 🥰 Also, everything is bigger in Texas, including our State Fair, so rest assured, you visited the biggest! 😉
So glad y'all made it to Dallas during the State Fair 🤠 And as far as the largest state fair, Minnesota has a state fair that has a slightly bigger footprint I think, but Texas State Fair has the most people attendance every year.
It doesn't get much more American than a trip to the fair! So glad you guys are having an authentic experience and not just the touristy highlights. --Which are great and fun, don't get me wrong! But y'all are seeing the real US of A that we experience every day. Most people just go to Disney and Times Square and fly home.
The one thing that impressed me the most in this whole video was the young girl's politeness when she asked for the apples! This is a reflection of the awesome parents raising great children!🙏♥️
I finally got to go to the Texas Fair for the first time this year. My daughter and I had so much fun and you are so right about needing several days to really soak in the fullness of the fair. We also rode the gondola back... 😂😂😂
Texas is and has the biggest state fair in the USA . I want to say I just love this family. So wholesome and seem to be so legit and down to earth. I wish you guys nothing but the best in life and in health. Cheers guys .
Nope, Minnesota has Texas beat, fair grounds are 322 acres vs TX at 277, and mn brings in 1.8 million in 12 days while TX has 2.7 million but its 24 days long
I hafta say "I love y'all's family, makes me miss my family & my kids grown up" y'all are truly beautiful & I love y'all !!!!!! From y'all alls brother and uncle from Kokomo Indiana USA 😊
You definitely had a true American experience in this one. Any fair is a favorite past time for us...Love the content, thank you for sharing, Amazing video!!!
You guys should come to the Iowa State Fair in August this year! It’s a super fun trip and lasts for a week or so. There are concerts every night (you have to pay for in advance) and super good food. Rides and other fun activities!
Great choice of places to visit while you're in America! Texas may not be as fancy as New York or parts of Cali, but it's good food and friendly people more than make up for it. I'm so glad you guys got to try our BBQ too, I know other states have their own versions of BBQ, but come on... we all know Texas BBQ is the best BBQ in America!
I just recently discovered your channel. I have to say that you all are a beautiful family. I absolutely love how close you all are. Atlanta? Denzel? Those are the dopest names ever!!!! There is no way not to love you all. Thank you for being a bright spot in my life.
The Texas State Fair is the biggest one, followed by Minnesota, then New York. I work down the street from the fairgrounds in NY here in Syracuse. It's pretty big, there is a free concert park that has great well known bands, and across the highway is the big outdoor amphitheater that cranks up the number of shows around the time of the fair. I've pretty much stopped going to the fair because I've been there so many times in my life, but for someone going for the first time, it's a really great experience.
Statistically speaking Minnesota is bigger. Bigger fairgrounds and Texas runs twice as long to only get about 700k more people. daily attendance Minnesota is definitely on top
If you're going by attendance the iowa state fair would be bigger than NY. Over a million each year. And would also be theoretically bigger than Texas as well bc it only runs for 11 days
I have never even been to my own State Fair (Missouri), but would be really surprised if Texas didn't have the biggest state fair. It has to. Texas is known across the country for doing everything BIG. Glad you had fun. I find it funny most of this video was about food! Keep making the world smile!❤
I went to the New York State fair a few years ago, wow, it was great. I enjoyed seeing all the animals who were blue ribbon winners. I was so impressed to see all the foods too.
Next time you will have to check out the Minnesota state fair held every August. It is rated one of the best fairs in the country. My favorite food is the pretzel dog. Or you could visit in the winter and check out a Minnesota winter Very Cold! Although this winter has been very mild. Hardly any snow at all so far. Most years we are up to our butts in snow by this time. Glad you had a good time.
I really wanted to say Minnesota had the largest state fair but Google tells me it is Texas. I’m from Minnesota and still live there. I grew up new the Minnesota state fairgrounds and used to go all the time. I hope next time you get to check out the animals. They are a big part of state fairs.
I am so glad that the family had a good time. I love state fairs, especially the food. You are such a wonderful family and I enjoy every one of your videos.
Going to a state fair is an American right. Y’all were basically already there, but I think it’s safe to say you’ve earned your stripes (pun intended) in being honorary Americans. So happy you made this trip!
If you Google it, the MN state fair usually wins for best fair. It comes in a typically not too distant second to Texas in attendance but then Texas is open for 30 days and MN’s fair runs for 11.
Wow, I was exhausted after watching that video! You did a lot of walking and eating. I have never been to a State Fair that big and massive! I hope you stayed hydrated while you were there.
So happy someone sent you, or you bought, the Rangers' gear! 2023 World Series Champions! Glad you and your family had a blast in Texas. Born and raised native, lived in other states, but came back and probably won't ever leave. God Bless Texas.
Sam mentioned elsewhere that he likes to buy sports related stuff from places he visited and he really liked that it said TEXAS across the front, so he bought it. He wasn't aware at the time that the Rangers were in the midst of the postseason (and I want to say they were in DFW during the ALCS). Go Rangers!
As a Texan myself, I realized how differently we look at trucks. Every truck is huge here, so when I see a “normal” truck I think “what a cute little truck!”
I live in NW Florida and see a lot of huge pickup trucks, see then everywhere in the south. We are not very far from Texas.
I drive a "full-size" Silverado from several years back and I parked next to a modern Ranger yesterday.
Ford's mini trucks are now bigger than mine!
What the duece?!
I know. If you were to see a single cab or extended cab these days, you’d think it is small. LOL. Embarrassingly it is now just my husband and me (we have grown grandkids and we have two double can pickups and a Buick Enclave.

Merry Christmas NZ Family! Come back and visit us any time! Mark in Iowa. We love you guys! Mark.
Looks like y'all are having a blast! Enjoy your time here in Texas and come back and see us anytime.
It’s so fun to watch y’all! Had to stop the video when the puff of powdered sugar sprayed across Nadine‘s face! That cracked me up so bad lol that was so funny! I had to stop the video just so I could laugh because I could not pay attention any longer! This is the kind of content I enjoy. Clean family content. Thank you guys so much for putting it out here for us all to enjoy. It’s so nice to have a choice in what you watch instead of what is force fed you on television.
That part got me too and my bf who was watching with me. 😂
Me too - had to stop the video (and of course I watched it 3 more times) I was laughing so hard. 🤣
I love how you're truly enjoying the great stuff that AMERICA has to offer. Thanks for the smiles and warm feelings! :D. Your fun is contagious!
Next year come during Texas/OU weekend. You’ll get to experience an authentic college football game and enjoy the fair at the same time. Also the Ferris wheel at nighttime is definitely a highlight that you shouldn’t miss! Thanks for coming to Dallas. Glad you had fun!
This needs to be promoted, nothing like seeing newcomers having their full American experience for the first time ❤
Aw! I love that you got to go to Texas! I used to live there and you DON'T MESS WITH TEXAS! 😅❤ That big dill pickle is so awesome! They sell them at the movie theater and always liked a bite of pickle and then some popcorn! Yum! You got set up nice with the gifts at the beginning. Such a nice lady!❤
Welcome to Texas !!! Loved the outfits. You guys nailed it. We send you much love from our family in Houston, Texas!!!!
I think Nadine has turned into an American dill pickle fan while she was here. Did you see her dive for those pickle spears when she spotted them with the BBQ sandwich? 😂😂
I never understood why so many British people (I know they're from NZ but it seems more common in the UK) don't like pickles. Then I went there a ton of times and realized there isn't a good pickle to be found anywhere on that island...
@@liamengram6326 I never heard an American say, "Gee, I'm in mood for some British food."
@@IrishSetter01 true. I don't know what good food they have. Fish and chips is all I can think of to try.
Lol!!@@IrishSetter01
@@the3mfs359 Lol, at least 1 person got the joke!
Thank you so much for coming out! We loved seeing your trip! If you ever come back, let us know! 🥰
Also, everything is bigger in Texas, including our State Fair, so rest assured, you visited the biggest! 😉
I'm dying with the powdered sugar cloud! You guys look like you are having the time of your life! Loving the content! keep it coming!
So glad y'all made it to Dallas during the State Fair 🤠
And as far as the largest state fair, Minnesota has a state fair that has a slightly bigger footprint I think, but Texas State Fair has the most people attendance every year.
The average daily attendance is higher at the Minnesota State Fair. It draws nearly as many people in 12 days as Texas does in 24.
Great...Great family!
Awesome kids and so appreciative for everything. You guys ROCK!😊💯💥
This is America! If nothing else... we know how to have a good time!
It doesn't get much more American than a trip to the fair! So glad you guys are having an authentic experience and not just the touristy highlights. --Which are great and fun, don't get me wrong! But y'all are seeing the real US of A that we experience every day. Most people just go to Disney and Times Square and fly home.
The one thing that impressed me the most in this whole video was the young girl's politeness when she asked for the apples! This is a reflection of the awesome parents raising great children!🙏♥️
I’m not really sure about the biggest state fair but I hear the Minnesota state fair is pretty awesome. My sister and her husband have gone many times
The Minnesota State Fair is THE best!!!
2nd to Texas in attendance only cause it runs half as long
So glad your family enjoyed my beloved Texas. Y'all are welcome back any time. Love from Fort Worth.
I finally got to go to the Texas Fair for the first time this year. My daughter and I had so much fun and you are so right about needing several days to really soak in the fullness of the fair. We also rode the gondola back... 😂😂😂
Texas is and has the biggest state fair in the USA . I want to say I just love this family. So wholesome and seem to be so legit and down to earth. I wish you guys nothing but the best in life and in health. Cheers guys .
Nope, Minnesota has Texas beat, fair grounds are 322 acres vs TX at 277, and mn brings in 1.8 million in 12 days while TX has 2.7 million but its 24 days long

Love seeing your videos!! We watch them as a family everyday you post. Much Love from Australia 😁
Glad y’all enjoyed the fair and the state of Texas (and city of Dallas)!
I’m glad y’all are having fun. Hopefully y’all will come back to U.S more
Man, I love seeing your family have so much fun. Glad you paid us a visit!
I hafta say "I love y'all's family, makes me miss my family & my kids grown up" y'all are truly beautiful & I love y'all !!!!!! From y'all alls brother and uncle from Kokomo Indiana USA 😊
You definitely had a true American experience in this one. Any fair is a favorite past time for us...Love the content, thank you for sharing, Amazing video!!!
Amazing! I am so happy for this family!!!
You guys definitely need to visit Cedar Point in Sandusky Ohio! Biggest collection of rollercoasters in the nation.
Love to see the family having so much fun, and Sam looking for brisket everywhere. This is great, glad you guys are having so much fun.
What a cool wholesome family you are. A breath of fresh air to just watch interact and enjoy life. Blessings to your family and safety! ❤
All that swag they gave you was super thoughtful and perfectly picked for you.
You guys should come to the Iowa State Fair in August this year! It’s a super fun trip and lasts for a week or so. There are concerts every night (you have to pay for in advance) and super good food. Rides and other fun activities!
Great choice of places to visit while you're in America! Texas may not be as fancy as New York or parts of Cali, but it's good food and friendly people more than make up for it. I'm so glad you guys got to try our BBQ too, I know other states have their own versions of BBQ, but come on... we all know Texas BBQ is the best BBQ in America!
“Pardonnez-moi,“ but Dallas is as sophisticated as NYC or Cali. You just have to delve into the city scene.
I just recently discovered your channel. I have to say that you all are a beautiful family. I absolutely love how close you all are. Atlanta? Denzel? Those are the dopest names ever!!!! There is no way not to love you all. Thank you for being a bright spot in my life.
The Texas State Fair is the biggest one, followed by Minnesota, then New York. I work down the street from the fairgrounds in NY here in Syracuse. It's pretty big, there is a free concert park that has great well known bands, and across the highway is the big outdoor amphitheater that cranks up the number of shows around the time of the fair. I've pretty much stopped going to the fair because I've been there so many times in my life, but for someone going for the first time, it's a really great experience.
Statistically speaking Minnesota is bigger. Bigger fairgrounds and Texas runs twice as long to only get about 700k more people. daily attendance Minnesota is definitely on top
If you're going by attendance the iowa state fair would be bigger than NY. Over a million each year. And would also be theoretically bigger than Texas as well bc it only runs for 11 days
Going at night is a whole other vibe with all the lights
You guys bring so much positivity to the world, always puts a smile on my face watching your videos!
I'm loving watching your experiences in the USA.
I have never even been to my own State Fair (Missouri), but would be really surprised if Texas didn't have the biggest state fair. It has to. Texas is known across the country for doing everything BIG. Glad you had fun. I find it funny most of this video was about food! Keep making the world smile!❤
I said it in another comment and not to take away from Texas but it's only the largest cause it runs 24 days compared to Minnesota's 12 days
Mmmmm.... Missou. I'd love to visit.
Oh boy! Here we go! 😁
Scoring TEXAS swag straight out the gate!
you need to go to the MINNESOTA state fair!!!!!! The largest in the world!
your family's enthusiasm for life and new experiences is so wholesome.... Makes me feel like part of the family just watching you!
I went to the New York State fair a few years ago, wow, it was great. I enjoyed seeing all the animals who were blue ribbon winners. I was so impressed to see all the foods too.
Great family! You'll are part of TEXAS now.
State Fairs are always exciting to go to. I live in the US, and still get excited every year, when my state opens its fair for the year.
Can't wait for the Florida State Fair which will be soon...
Next time you will have to check out the Minnesota state fair held every August. It is rated one of the best fairs in the country. My favorite food is the pretzel dog. Or you could visit in the winter and check out a Minnesota winter Very Cold! Although this winter has been very mild. Hardly any snow at all so far. Most years we are up to our butts in snow by this time. Glad you had a good time.
I really wanted to say Minnesota had the largest state fair but Google tells me it is Texas. I’m from Minnesota and still live there. I grew up new the Minnesota state fairgrounds and used to go all the time. I hope next time you get to check out the animals. They are a big part of state fairs.
Minnesota actually has the Highest average daily attendance. It draws nearly as many people in 12 days as Texas does in 24.
I used to go to the Iowa State Fair every year for marching band, I always had such a fun time.
I am so glad that the family had a good time. I love state fairs, especially the food. You are such a wonderful family and I enjoy every one of your videos.
You are at it! Texas 2.2 million visitors😳
Going to a state fair is an American right. Y’all were basically already there, but I think it’s safe to say you’ve earned your stripes (pun intended) in being honorary Americans. So happy you made this trip!
If you Google it, the MN state fair usually wins for best fair. It comes in a typically not too distant second to Texas in attendance but then Texas is open for 30 days and MN’s fair runs for 11.
I love the fair!
The food!
The rides!
The smells!
Did you watch the little children showing their sheep pigs and other livestock in the ring?
So FUN
Wow, I was exhausted after watching that video! You did a lot of walking and eating. I have never been to a State Fair that big and massive! I hope you stayed hydrated while you were there.
It is so cool seeing y'all enjoying the fair along with the rest of the trip.
Texas Welcomes you back soon.
So happy someone sent you, or you bought, the Rangers' gear! 2023 World Series Champions!
Glad you and your family had a blast in Texas. Born and raised native, lived in other states, but came back and probably won't ever leave. God Bless Texas.
Sam mentioned elsewhere that he likes to buy sports related stuff from places he visited and he really liked that it said TEXAS across the front, so he bought it. He wasn't aware at the time that the Rangers were in the midst of the postseason (and I want to say they were in DFW during the ALCS). Go Rangers!
@@drummermoe That's even better! Thanks for the insight. So cool to see them enjoy Texas. Love it.
Your children are so well behaved. It's an absolute joy to see America through your family's experiences.
Iowa State Fair has been rated as one of the top 100 things to see in one's life.
I would love to cruise our amazing country with this group! Being around people who love life like them is the best.
