Each state has its own. There are rides, animals, games, and disgusting food. <BR/><BR/>My husband always drags us to the New Mexico State Fair (September in New Mexico is HOT). It is crowded, hot, stinky, and expensive. But after three years of it, my kids are old enough to view it as a "tradition" also. Ugh.<BR/><BR/>Great post!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3471708841296862671.post-45834817730651255132008-06-18T02:19:00.000+10:002008-06-18T02:19:00.000+10:00Troy and I started a new tradition last year - get...Troy and I started a new tradition last year - get into the Ekka for FREE!

I was shocked.<BR/><BR/>We go to IHOP every New Years Eve morning.<BR/><BR/>Christmas Eve we have the weirdest tradition.<BR/>We eat French Dips, French Fries, Salad with French Dressing, French Vanilla Ice Cream on French Silk pie. Weird, but we have done it for 22 yrs now and our family loves it.<BR/><BR/>New Years Eve is spent chowing down alot of Shrimp food. That has kept the boys home.<BR/><BR/>Just a few here Bobbie. Have a great day.Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02892472931655519485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3471708841296862671.post-64662061067968201752008-06-17T16:39:00.000+10:002008-06-17T16:39:00.000+10:00One tradition we love we got from my cousin Scott....One tradition we love we got from my cousin Scott. When we went to visit his family we would always have a great time. As we left Scott would race our car down the street to the stop sign. <BR/><BR/>Now, when someone is leaving our home after a visit we run after the car (we are on the sidewalk). As we are running, we wave all the way and try to beat them to the stop sign. It is a fun way to send off friends and family that we will miss. mchellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12147206338960374125noreply@blogger.com
