The State Fair


One of my best memories of the state fair happened when Hans and I were first married. He got me in at the 12 and under rate as his sister. Did I really look that young? Funny. I have a new great memory of the state fair this year. Whether it is the picture Mariah drew about going to the state fair, Madison riding a pony for the first time since leaving her beloved "Blackey" in Sacramento or listen to "too scary" from Annie as she rode a roller coaster for the first time with me. It was all great! We had Navajo tacos and hot dogs for dinner followed by deep fried Oreos and deep fried M&Ms for desert. It was awesome! I can't wait for next year!

Weird Science


The girl's had Columbus day off from school, so we went on a little field trip to the Phoenix Science Center. We have a year pass that we got last November and this is the third time we have been there. Nothing like getting your money's worth. Oh well, maybe we will do better next year. So we finally got dressed around 11 am and headed off. We got to see all kinds of things. I think one of their favorite parts was having a wheelchair race. Annie almost beat Mariah and Alyssa and I lost to Mariah. Where was Madison? She was over trying to put the human body together. "Mom, where does this go?" she said. I looked over and she was holding up the stomach. Her dad would of been proud to see her trying to figure it out. After the science center we went to lunch at Sweet Tomatoes. Our girl's have fallen in love with the fact that they can get salad, fruit, breadsticks and ice cream all in one place! I think Madison ate her weight in cantalope and honeydew. We usually go to lunch with Hans on Tuesday's and we always eat at Soup or Salad (same kind of restaurant). The other night coming home from gymnastics, Annie asked if we could go to Soup or Salad. After telling her no, she cried the rest of the way home. So sad :( It was a great day and we had great weather to go with it. I think 75 was the high yesterday.
