State Fair and Trip to Pueblo

The last part of August, we made two different trips down to Pueblo. The first time, we went to the river walk. Ella was dying to ride the boat so we went and checked it out. The rive walk is still somewhat small, but it is very pretty. The kids really had fun floating down the river and taking in the sights. The tour guide was very informative and I learned a lot about Pueblo. I'm glad we finally checked it out.
The next week, we went to Pueblo for the State Fair. I have gone every year for as long as I can remember. Ashlyn loves it too, but this year we just could not make it work with her school schedule. We were out of town every weekend it was going on and she had school during the week. Gracie stayed at home with Joey because it was supposed to be very hot and she was still getting over a cold.
It ended up being Dawson, Jameson, Ella, my mom, sister, and myself at the fair. We thought it opened at 10:00 and discovered everything didn't start until noon. So, we had some time to kill. Luckily, they had a fountain there for kids to play in. We had no extra clothes for the kids, but it was so hot. We totally let them go for it and just play. They had an absolute blast! They all had ear to ear grins the entire time. What fun they had!
After they played in the fountain, we went around and explored the exhibits. As usual, the cake decorating was a hit. They also had a monkey show this year that the kids thought was really funny. We had to indulge in fair food and the kids had fried macaroni and cheese and we also got a brick of fries. Yum!
Before we left we asked the kids if they wanted to go check out the Lego building area. They also insisted they wanted to go back to the fountain. So that's we did and they had more fun. We finished the day with ice cream cones for all and headed back home. As usual, we had a fantastic time at the fair.
