State Fair

Today, after church, we went to the State Fair. Ruth had entered some stamped items and we had to see what she won. (You'll have to check with her for details, cuz she didn't want me to take a picture of her with her winning items.)

Ken got to look at the woodwork and get ideas for future projects. (By the way, his caterpillar in the Cathedral Gallery Show was the first item to sell from the show!). We couldn't find the bunnies, but we did visit the sheep barn--they were wearing muzzles this year which made them look weird. (I suppose someone was foolish enough to stick fingers in a sheep's mouth and got nipped, so now they have to be muzzled.)

One of the horses that starred in the movie Hidalgo was also on exhibit. He was a spokes-horse for the endangered breed that the Spanish used when they first came to NM. Actually, his owner did the talking while he trimmed the grass.

Logan seemed to like looking at the animals and exhibits, but he had more fun when he was allowed to push his stroller. He tasted his first snow cone, but it wasn't a huge hit--probably would have preferred ice cream!

In the FFA building, there was a 'corn box' for the kids to play in. (Imagine a sandbox filled with dried corn). He wasn't impressed with that. I think it felt weird on his feet. At the kids area, though, he had more fun. He helped Grandpa make BIG bubbles, and really enjoyed the magnetic connect-a-toys.
