NM State Fair

NM State Fair!  Such a fun place to go each year, and with kids it made it an even more fun experience.

These strange little creatures are called Sugar Bears.  Eden was immediately smitten and wanted to take one home.  Brad was also starting to get a little excited too until he googled it and realized they would be a lot more work than the salespeople were letting on.  So fortunately, Eden was just as happy taking a brochure, cutting out all the pictures of the sugar bears and taping them all over our house.  She is satisfied, and we saved a lot of money and time!  They were definitely very cute though.  :)

They loved getting their faces painted and then admiring themselves in the mirror.

This captures their personalities so perfectly.

My pretty girl!

Cutest boy ever.

While Eden was in the hospital, she watched the movie "Charlotte's Web" quite a few times and I guess in that movie they go to the state fair and ride on a ferris wheel.  When we told her we were going to the fair she was so excited to go on the ferris wheel.  When it came time to get on though she got very hesitant and changed her mind, but I forced it and she ended up having a very good time.

I love Bentley's expression in this picture.

Cute girl.  She was definitely excited and squealing every time we went around the big circle.

You know you're in trouble when you have to use two strollers and one is even a double!

This little shop might as well have just said, "Justice pantry" on it.  So many choices....

Eden wasn't so sure how she felt about the fried Oreos.  After each bite she just kept looking at it with very strange expressions.

Sweet little Olive fell asleep during the pirate show.  The fair left her feeling quite worn out.

Fun times!  Until next year!
