Hatch Chili Festival

Yesterday we ventured up to Hatch, New Mexico for their annual Chili Festival.  Green chilis, especially, are a big thing around here, and Hatch is famous for thiers.  A couple weeks ago at the grocery store they got their annual delivery and would roast the chilis for you.  I had high hopes of getting some, however I had all 3 kids still and everytime we were near the store, the line was 30 people long....   anyway, I got my hands on some and have them in the freezer for anytime we need :)

The first thing we did was watch the parade... 

the kids picked up lots of candy along the way....

Nicholas wa impressed by this car!

Caroline & Taylor and all their loot!

brotherly/sisterly love... kind of :)


Roasted corn was a big hit...

the 3 m's...  Morgan, Madi, and Molly   {notice the read cheeks?  it was 100* out! And not a lot of shade for us to hide in!}

These two had lots of fun throughout the day

Aww.... a little corn love 


We went back to our friends after for a swim and "make your own pizza" dinner.  The kids and i were wiped out after a long day of fun!

Our new little "pet" that we picked up yesteday....
