The Arizona State Fair

Yesterday was fair day! We loaded Christian in the car, picked up Liz and all headed to "the greatest show on earth." It seems the biggest excitement for Christian was Daddy's peanut-dipped caramel apple. But babies can't have peanuts, so he could look, but not touch or taste.

After having gone to the New Mexico State Fair, I was a bit disappointed in the Arizona fair. For being in the heart of a huge metro area, it was small and kind of disorganized.

We did find some unique food ... which is sometimes hard in the world of fair food. I ate fried macaroni and cheese, and fried artichoke hearts. Both were mighty tasty and I highly recommend trying some if you ever come across it.

Looks like fun! I don't think we are going to go this year.

Christian -- Next August you will have to get Mommy, Daddy and Aunt Elisabeth bring you to the REAL fair in Lynden. There are lots of horses - tiny ones, regular size ones, and giant ones, lots of cows and other animals. And of course lots of green (the only true color) tractors. You can also help pick corn and berries. And feed Great-grampa and Uncle Raiph's cows.
Love Ya, Gramma Janet

Dr. Jonathan,

Please describe--in great detail--every bite of that peanut-dipped caramel apple. I haven't had one in years and need to hear your tale.

Cheers,
Uncle Mr. Ashe
