We had to go to the Utah State Fair, we just had to!! I love going and always have. My agenda has changed over the years. I used to go for the rides, then I would go with my girlfriends to flirt with boys, then I would go for the beer, then I went there on dates, then I would go for the sometimes fun concerts they'd have and now I go to take you and to people watch of course!
Thursday after work I zoomed home, picked up you and daddy and we headed to the fair to meet Grandma Shelly and Grandpa Glen.
We refused to pay for parking, so we found a spot, a very good spot we thought, on the side of the road in the neighborhood nearby.
We got into the fair park and tried to find g-ma and g-pa. We didn't have any luck, so we just went and checked out all of the animals. You were in awe over the huge cows!! You giggled at the cute, cuddly bunnies. Weren't shy about petting the goats. You couldn't see enough of the pigs! I was smiling form ear to ear because you were having a great time trying to take it all in.
Then we finally found g-ma and g-pa. Grandma couldn't wait for you to ride the pony, so that is where we headed and you rode a cute little pony compliments of Grandma and Grandpa. You had a great time! Dad walked right next to you while you rode the pony, Thunder, it was the cutest thing to see.
Then we decided we were all hungry. Grandpa treated us to dinner - fries and fry sauce for you, Navajo taco for Grandma and the rest of us had bbq sandwiches! We blocked the fact that we were eating at the fair and tried to enjoy our dinner. Whew! We all avoided food poisoning!
We walked around some more and headed towards the "Big Yellow Slide!" You were a champ! There was no doubt that you wanted to go down it, so we grabbed our potato sacks to slide down on and you walked all 110+ stairs to the top. While there a lady commented on how beautiful you are! It was really sweet and we never get sick of hearing it. You sat in dad's lap, I sat next to you guys and we held hands as we went down then you and dad got going faster than me, so off you went. Grandma was supposed to be our picture taker but that didn't go so well. When you go to the bottom the guy working there commented on how awesome you did! you have no fear babe! You said "again, again!"
Then we headed to go check out the model of hot tub Grandma and Grandpa bought. yep, they bought their hot tub from a guy at the fair! We had to try the thing out - without water in it of course. You were all about it. You got in it and was cracking up then asked me to get in and then we were all pretty much in there. Ha ha ha!
After that we headed to go check out the butter exhibit. Pretty cool!! It was a sculpture made out of 700 pounds of butter. Wow!
Then after that Grandpa was ready to go home, so they left! We were nearing the end too. We walked down one more aisle. You picked popcorn as your treat! Yum, then while we were walking around I found $10 on the ground with no one near by I claimed it!
You decided that you were done riding in your stroller and that you wanted to push it instead. We let you push it around, but since it was on gravel it was a little challenging and it kept getting stuck. Dad tried to help you push the stroller, but you were getting upset, so you yelled out "MICHAEL!!" It was hilarious!! dad didn't think it was too funny and ever since then you have been calling daddy by his first name whenever you are ticked off at him! Oops!
When we finally decided to leave we strolled to the car, it was such a beautiful evening, we got there to find a big pink slip on the windshield!! We got a parking ticket!! UGH!
Regardless it was a wonderful evening.
Thanks!
I love you!!
Love,
mommy
