Arizona State Fair

Today was the day that we had the pleasure and pain of going to the state fair. We took Samantha a couple years ago, but this was Cole's first experience with the fair.  Let me preface this with the fact that Peter and I are not adreneline junkies and could care less about rides. Now, we will perk up for kids' rides. But apparently our kids have inherited our dislike for carnie fun because they weren't having it. They did ride the little kiddo train-Samantha remembered it from 2 years ago-sort of. She kept yelling to us, "How many times are we going around?" It was comical. We also rode on the "wiggle worm"-basically sit in a giant worm and go round and round. this was Cole's favorite part of the day. Or as he says, the "viggle vrrm."

The games were a big hit. They won a BUNCH of cheap stuffed animals, which is great for Cole (who could never have too many stuffed animals)! Peter did win them some prizes breaking plates and showing off his "arm". Good job honey!

Now let's talk about the food. It was was you'd expect. Corn dogs, curly fries, sausage, a fried twinkie, a snow cone, and popcorn. Yes, tonight it's salad:) By far the best value-snow cone. So good. And refreshing on a 97 degree FALL day! Ha! It was SO hot.

We cooled off checking out all of the tstinky animals. Chickens, roosters, llamas, cows and pigs. Samantha and Cole even fed some sheep. My favorite-the air conditioning!!

Love making memories with my sweet family. Thanks Peter for dreaming up fun ways for us to spoil our children rotten and have memories that will last forever. You are such a fun dad. Our kids are SO lucky! Samantha and Cole, I wish you could stay little forever.
