Father-Son "Date"

The State Fair was here in Albuquerque the past few weeks. We were planning on going last Saturday but then forgot about it until it was already too late. Then on Wednesday a friend told me that it was free to get in that day. I had to teach an English class until 5:45 and then had a meeting at the church as 7:10 so that didn't really leave me much time to go with Trent and Ethan. I ended up going for just a half-hour or so but Trent and Ethan went for a few hours. They walked all around the fairgrounds looking at animals, exhibits, and watching people ride the rides. Trent said Ethan was just enthralled with all the people and commotion and just sat quietly in the stroller the whole time taking it in. He said Ethan barely said a word and hardly ate a thing. After they came home though Ethan kept saying things like, "tractor" (because he got to climb on a tractor), "horse", "chicken", "cow" and all the other things that they had seen. He woke up talking about them the next morning too!

I am glad that they got to have some time together to be boys and see the animals, which I am pretty sure Trent enjoyed just as much as Ethan!
