Our state fair is the best state fair......

..... don't miss it, don't even be late! (That one's for all you old movie lovers)

We had such a fun time last Monday at the State Fair. We saw almost all the animals, which Ava absolutely loved and watched some intense penning at the rodeo grounds. I don't think I have ever been to a rodeo, but watching that event was like one of the funnest things I have done. It was so intense and so not what I ever watch. I can't wait to watch it again! Ava loved sliding down the super yellow slide and we would have done it again- if it hadn't been $2 a person for one slide down. Luke and I haven't been back to the fair since right before we were married and we saw Rascal Flatts and Luke puked all over after going on some rides (I told him not to go...) The whole fair was suprisingly clean and free of too many scary people (we obviously didn't go to the carnival part or I am sure we would have seen some scary carnies).


Fun fun slide


Already contemplating how she can go again...

starting to get delirious


With grandma Beej at the rodeo. Seriously I don't know how we ever found seats, the place was so packed.....



I did eventually get in trouble for letting her be so close to the fence :(



Oh she loved riding the little pont. She kept reaching down and petting him, it was so cute







Petting the sheep



Uh, someone call the abominable snowman, we found his baby...


This one got a little close I think. I think it kind of looks like it's talking to her and she's laughing



How weird was it to walk in the warehouse and have cows not inside fences on either side of you!?



Ready to go home, but sad to leave :(

You know, I have never been to a state fair. Someday... someday... I love Ava's dress in the Kanab photos. So cute!

The State Fair looks really fun we have been talking about going. I think we are going to go tomorrow night. Ava looks like she really enjoyed it, she is such a crack up:) I'll call you about next week but it looks like Sunday might work better. Well I'll call you soon and we can discuss it.

That slide looks awesome, and yes I agree, carnies are very scary! I'm proud of you for embracing your "cowgirl" side and watching penning:) Next you've got to get Ava on a sheep...she'll love it!
