Today we went to the Colorado State Fair in Pueblo, which so far is the armpit of the state. The fair was bigger than the El Paso County Fair but I don't know if I'd say better. At least they had a faux Petting Zoo (you had to pet them through a cage or fence) and a few animal shows, including Sea Lions (which Olivia loved), monkeys (which we missed) and sharks (who'd have thought?). They had a lot of vendors, which we didn't spend much time browsing, and a lot of food (though it's the first fair we didn't eat our way through). We were only there for about three hours before both kids decided they'd had enough. Not to mention it was getting ready to rain. We had fun, enough for a Sunday afternoon without Daddy and at least we got to be outside for a little while. It'll be nice when Daddy is home again (haven't we already done this enough?) and then he can join in on the fun. LOL.
The Kiddie Rides...
(Cole just wasn't big enough - you had to be 36 inches tall)
(above right: Olivia rode a train with a puppy dog she won picking ducks out of the water. She named the dog Molly. Go figure.)
The Biggest Attraction (just kidding): Rock Rolling Contest
NO JOKE!!
