NM State Fair
It would hardly be a proper start to the fall season without some fair food, so this weekend (between a birthday party, swimming, bike riding, and a baby shower) we made our annual visit to "Expo New Mexico".
We like to arrive right at opening, when the day is cool and the crowds are light.
Greta has been wondering for awhile if any of the horses at the fair would have horns, so we bee-lined straight to the pony ride to find out.
Luckily Liam is not too big to enjoy a pony ride himself.
Greta was just as thrilled to be on a regular (non-unicorn) pony, and used the opportunity to practice up on her trick riding (note the hand-in-air).
Next it was time for a little face painting.
And Liam's turn on the big tractor. I'm pretty sure we have this same picture from every year but his very first (when we were living in Oregon during fair time).
After that, things got serious between eating, petting animals, and watching the model trains, and my hands were too dirty for anymore pictures :0).

Looks like a great way to kick off fall. Glad the kiddos had such a fun time and nice to hear that even you got your hands a little dirty playing :)
Thanks so very much for sharing!

Looks like Greta and Liam will like the tractor and ponies for a few more years. Fun to watch the action.
