Throwback Thursday: It’s Time for The Big E

Did you know that tomorrow’s a big day?  It’s the opening of The Big E!

In honor of one of the biggest fairs in this region, we thought it would be great to dedicate this week’s Throwback Thursday to this popular event.

For 2013, the event will run from September 13 – 29 and will be the topic of many water cooler discussions in our state.  “When are you going to The Big E?”

Since we like to make sure our readers have all the information they need for a great outing, Shawna and I wanted to make sure you know that we have a 2011 post all about The Big E.

Not only will this post give you the inside scoop on this great family event, but you can also see some pictures of the munchkins when they were teeny tiny!  For our trip, Boo had just turned one and the twins were about nine months old.

Awe.  I miss them being so little.

For our Big E adventure, we spent a good bit of time at the Avenue of States.

We also visited a lot of the exhibits and other activities that babies might enjoy.

I think the best thing about our trip to The Big E was our food adventure!  Yum!

We certainly had fun and we hope our oldie (but goodie) post will help you have a great time at the Big E too!

Get all the details on our Big E adventure from 2011 here.
