We were all having a really great time, but unfortunately it got really cold and started to rain. so we had to say goodbye to the fair. :(
We were planning on an entire day of fun so on whim, we decided to take a drive on route 66. While driving we saw the inspiration for the "Cozy Cone" in the movie Cars. It even had Mater all spiffied up. We saw Flow too, along with several other classic cars.
We drove for a little over an hour to a place called Meteor Crater the kids were amazed to hear that a meteor fell from the sky thousands of years ago, and left a big hole in the ground. The visitors center there is really neat and had lots of interactive things for the kids to see and do. It was definitely worth the drive. We took a picture of a piece of the Meteor. It weighs 1200 lbs. Eliza couldn't believe he was touching something that came from outer space. Awesome!
On our way home we figured the storm had probably blown over Holbrook, and since we still had on our wrist bands (tickets in to the fair), we thought we'd go back and ride the Ferris wheel and watch the crash derby.
We all had a wonderful day and made memories that will last forever.
How fun! We also went to a fair the other day. It was huge and crowded! But Evelyn enjoyed the animals. Hey, I didn't know that Route 66 was in AZ! Ha. I have another reason why we should move back to AZ. :) just joking. Tell Sarah, Eliza and Caleb that I said Hi. We are excited to see you all in November. Woohoo!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun day! It sounded like a perfect day. I would love to see the crater some time. Route 66 looked cool. And a small fair sounds so inviting. Not like the scary one in Phx. We're hoping that we can come up sometime during the snowy season! Do we need to get penciled in on your calendar?
