Arizona State Fair 2009


Enjoying the reading program freebie rides .

One of Hannah's pieces of art.

#2 of Hannah's pieces of art.

Joshua's art that earned a 2nd place ribbon. Now he's gung ho for entering lots of art next year.

We went to the State Fair with HEofS again this year. It was just the 3 of us as Todd couldn't take another day off after the recent vacation. We saw a Mad Science presentation about farming. Joshua was paying attention to the fact that cows not only give us milk but since they eat so much they give us another commodity:fertilizer. Now when he needs to go to the bathroom he tells us he's going to "fertilize". He thinks he is hilarious. Oh joy!

Anyway, we also checked out the animals,a few rides,& the art displays. I spent all of $5 (on funnel cake) for the whole field trip. Entrance & parking were free for homeschool groups & the kids each had 3 free rides from a reading program. It was really too hot for November. We left around 2pm. It wasn't as fun without Todd plus Hannah & I were not really feeling all that great. I'd rather have stayed home but I know the kids were dying to see their artwork.

Next field trip is a Museum on Tuesday. Then on Wednesday Grandma & Grandpa visit-hope it cools off for them:) Hope it cools off for me too!!
