Last weekend we went to the New Mexico State Fair. We love going to the fair every year and it kicks off the Fall season which is always full of fun activities! Megan went with us as usual, since Daddy is not big on the fair and crowds of people. This was the first year that Alex was big enough for us to go without a stroller, which was a great milestone!
We got there a little early, so we hung around waiting for things to open. This is one of my favorite pictures of me and the kids.
Alex had a great time people watching...
We decided to ride the ponies first before the lines got too long. Alex was so excited! It was a big change from the first year we tried this. His pony's name was Katie.
Aurora's pony was Jill.
The we went to the petting zoo to feed and pet all of the farm animals! Alex was not so keen on feeding them and letting them slobber on his hand but he liked talking to them and petting them. Aurora is just like her great-grandma and loves feeding and petting all animals!
Then we went over to McDonald's farm to learn how to run a farm! They picked apples and pecans from the orchard and checked out the grain silo.
They rode on the tractors...
Milked a cow...
Roped some bulls....
Went through a corn field...
Visited with some characters and had yummy fair food!!
