We found all kinds of strange and interesting things at the State Fair of Texas, and we rode the highest ferris wheel in North America. Here is our video report from Fair Park.

Wanting to explore Dallas a bit more, we visited Northpark Mall and Highland Park Village. We didn’t spend any money, because we didn’t actually have any money, but we did have fun.

We went down to Waco, TX for the release show for the David Crowder Band’s newest album, Church Music. It was a great show and we even got David to give a shout out to our friends back in Delaware. http://www.davidcrowderband.com/

We found a Swahili speaking church here in Dallas and had a fun time visiting with them. We will be learning Swahili in the next year, so this is a cool way for us to learn more about the language and culture.

For a Labor Day vacation, we headed down to Galveston, TX in search of the beach and salt water. We found what we were looking for and more, including a lot of mosquitos, a shady motel, and an acorn shaped house.

There are some sweet mountain biking trails on campus that I’ve been trying to ride. It’s a lot of fun! I was able to fix the flat tire later with duct tape.
