#44 Thing to Do in Dallas with Kids

Go to the State Fair of Texas Opening Day Parade!  In this list of 52 Things to Do in Dallas with Kids (in 2010 and 2011 blog posts) I have tried to highlight things that are free (or close). One free thing that is associated with the State Fair is the Opening Day Parade.  It goes through downtown on the first day of the fair (Friday) at noon.  This year I took Everett with me since next year he will be in kindergarten.

It was hot, and he was not too sure about this parade...
