Meet Me At the Fair!

On Friday Pah, the kids, and I went to the NM State Fair.  Thanks to Governor Susana Martinez, all state school children and their chaperones can go and park FREE!  Lots of fun - animals, 4H exhibits, art, music, shows and some rides too.  Weather was great for the fair and for NM too - actually it was so chilly that M- and I had to get some matching sweatshirts:)  How cute are we?

M- couldn't wait to try his first deep fried treat.... lots of choices (bleck).  He chose a deep fried oreo!

But, Pah discovered the best fair food combining his Wisconsin cheese love with a little bit of New Mexico chile:)  This is my favorite picture - and these were really good!  I am actually craving them as I type.

We saw some crazy high diving pirates.  Seriously, they were nuts!  I am surprised no one died.  They were diving off platforms with winds gusting up to 30 miles per hour.

E- had her fill of some fair rides and coaxed her mom into one that was "pretty mild".  Haha - she conveniently forgot to tell me that after it went forwards (which I was handling), that it then goes backwards (which I didn't handle as well)!  Good thing we sat at the pirate show after that!  If you zoom in you can see how elated she is that she has tricked me:)

Here she is on her fave fair ride!  She is the adventurous one... her brother opted out of all rides.

A fun day for all - Thanks Governor Martinez for the opportunity to check out our state fair.  And, thanks Pah for enjoying the day with us!
