Utah State Fair






So it's pretty amazing to me how you have children and your whole thought process changes. When I saw the billboard for the Utah State Fair, I no longer thought of deep fried goodies (while I still do love those) or what band is coming?, all I could think of is "Ahh, Camden loves animals. I should take him to see the animals". So, that's what I did. Aerial, Richard, Amy and Jeff in tow, I took Camden to the State Fair.
It was your typical State Fair, although I do remember it being much larger. The last time I was there was about five or six years ago, so who knows for sure. There were plenty of carnival rides and the deep fried goodness I was speaking of earlier and lots of vendors selling everything from poreclain dolls to wacky weed banners. While it was all enjoyable to look at, the very best part was watching Camden with all the cows and the sheep and the goats and pigs. I really hope Aerial and Richard, Jeff and Amy had a good time too.

Camden got to ride a pony and by the end of the day, I had cow poop all over my jeans (from Cam's feet), but I did not mind at all. It was so much fun... and the funnel cake was AWESOME!!!

Belle would never have gotten on a pony nor would she have tried to feed any thing to any of the animals. She is scared of every animal you can put near her!! But she would have liked to see them from a distance!! Looks like you guys had a good time. :0)
