NM State Fair

We went to the New Mexico State Fair! Naomi got to see a lot of animals. In the picture above she's just about to pet a 6 day old goat.
She's looking at the Dairy Cows...sort of... She's also showing what a long tongue she has!
She also got to ride a tractor! Not really, but she thought it was neat to be able to climb up and pretend to drive it. This was part of what they call McDonald's farm, the kids are given baskets and told to collect a certain amount of each thing at different stations. For example, at the first station she needed to collect one apple and two pecans. At the end the kids take all their 'produce' to the market and sort it out into the different bins. They are given a popsicle for the efforts.
Naomi also participated in the Pee-Wee-Stampede! There where three classes (determined by age group) the bucking broncos, the barrel racers, and the calf ropers. Naomi was in the calf ropers.
Here she is parading around with her horse.

This is her run of the 'calf roping' she didn't win first place, but she was given a ribbon for participation. She also had a GREAT time! We will have to do this again next year when she's a little older.

She also rode a horse (full sized!) named Scout and she feed the goats in the petting zoo. She was worried that each goat needed to be feed, but in the meantime the other goats got mad at me!
