The New Mexico State Fair is in town, and much like Disneyland, it is way cooler now that I have kids. Money all of the sudden becomes no object when your 3 year old is having the time of her life. She rode tons of rides, said hi to every cop that she came into contact with, and tried her first Navajo Taco. By 11pm she came so close to falling asleep in the swing ride that I was worried for her personal safety. At that point we felt it was best to call it a night!

Her Favorite Ride Of The Night - The Giant Slide
The next day we were invited by our neighbors to the Rio Grande Community Farm to visit a giant corn maze. It sounded way cooler than it was. We basically just let three 3-year-olds guide us around in the mud for a hour. But we had fun!

The Stroller Was Not The Best Idea
Last Saturday we had the privilege of meeting my father-in-law's cousin who lives in Socorro, NM with his wife. Turns out they live on a farm about 2 hours from Albuquerque and every year they roast their organic green chile at the Co-Op just up the street from our house. Who would have thought that there were more Mazottis in New Mexico? They were extremely nice people, who gifted us with a dozen organic eggs, eggplant, ochra, tomatoes, zucchini, onions, pablano peppers and our first bag of roasted green chile. What a treat!
This Is Like Candy To New Mexicans
That night we went to the Zac Brown Band concert with our friends Joe and Melissa. I believe that someone took pictures, however, I have not yet seen them. So you will just have to take my word for the fact that we had a great time indulging in several alcoholic beverages.
So that just about catches you up on the latest Mazotti memories. I will try to find motivation somewhere to update a little more often!
