New Mexico State Fair





Grandma Kathy and Grandpa Fred are visiting and yesterday we went to the State Fair and had a blast. Luci is a thrill seeker, just like her parents. She loved all the rides! Logan enjoyed several of the little kid rides as well, but mostly loved this dinky little trumpet that makes alot of noise! Levi was content to hang out in the stroller and sleep or watch us eat hot dogs, snow cones, cotton candy, and funnel cake. We also saw a Mermaid and Mariners Dive show and Luci loved getting her picture taken with a Mermaid! As we were walking back to the car we stood next to the race track and saw the horses come speeding by. It was a fun packed day! :)


We had one very scary moment at the fair and it still shakes me up. We decided to take a break, get the kids out of the stroller, and relax for a bit. I took Luci to the bathroom and I guess Logan decided he was going to follow me, without me knowing. While we're in the restroom, Brant calls my cell asking if Logan is with me and he wasn't so for about 5 minutes Fred, Brant and I were frantically searching for him while Kathy stayed with Luci and Levi. A nice gentleman saw that I was freaking out and said that he had sent his older son after a little boy blowing a horn who looked lost and was heading back towards the rides. I went running in that direction and found a policeman holding Logan. Later, Logan told me, "I asked that policeman, where did mama go?" Thankfully he was ok. When Brant and I were at the St. Louis airport this summer, we found an 8 year old boy who got lost from his father and ended up taking him to security. It's nice to know that there are good people who understand how much child means to a parent, because I can't even let my mind wander as to what horrible things could have happened.
