On November 3, we took a family trip to the State Fair in Phoenix, and we had a really great time. The weather was great, and we enjoyed watching Lane take it all in for the first time.
We started by seeing all of the exhibits in the Coliseum, and then we worked our way over to the farm animals and the petting zoo! Lane got to see everything from baby chicks and goats to kangaroos. Yes, there was a kangaroo in the petting zoo! He also got to see an actual milking of a cow, and learned all kinds of facts about milk and the milking industry.
Then we went to the "Toddler Zone", which was a very cool place. Lane might have had his most fun here. It had lots of diversionary toys that could keep any kid occupied. Lane (and Dad) had a blast playing with the large legos while Mom went to check out the sewing and knitting exhibits. And you'll see a picture below of Lane climbing on a bunch of wrestling pads that they had laid out. They had toy trucks and a maze built of hay bales as well.
We had some awesome corndogs and homemade wedge-cut fries for dinner, and then headed off to the Coliseum for the Montgomery Gentry concert. We thought Lane might not like the concert, but he ended up being in awe over all the lights and sounds. He quite enjoyed it.
We had a great time and are glad we went.
