We had a blast this year at the fair and rodeo! The kids really enjoyed their time with their grandparents and aunts and uncles. This year was especially fun because we got to see Uncle Paul (my dad's brother) and Aunt Hazel, and Uncle Chris and Aunt Debbie (my mom's sister) and their kids. Also, Kira and her boyfriend, Sean, were able to come down from Orem. Here are Kira and Levi all ready to go to the fair! Levi just needs his hat!
It was so fun hanging out with everyone and getting to know Sean better. We had lots of late nights staying up talking and playing Guitar Hero. I am not that into video games, but that game is pretty fun. I would ALMOST consider buying a PlayStation just so I could play that game. Thanks for bringing it, Sean! It was tons of fun.We made some time on Saturday to go slacklining at the park. (It's kind of like tight-rope walking, but the line is slack, not tight. It's an outdoorsy thing that Kira picked up in Utah.) Kira and Michaela have been doing it for a while now and are pretty good. Sean, Peter, and I tried to do it, and we realized that it's a lot harder than it looks! Everyone did a pretty good job, but we were so sore afterward! If you want to know what it is, click on my sister Kira's blog link to the right. She has a You Tube video of a couple of guys slacklining. Keep in mind that these guys are incredibly good!
Jonah is starting to get to the age where the fair can really be fun. Eden, not so much. She had a hard time a few of the days. I think she was mostly overstimulated and tired, and she ended up having a screaming tantrum. Thank goodness Grandma's house is just down the street!
Jonah liked pretty much everything!

The Small Animal Pavilion
And of course, the rides!
Here we are on the train that circles the fairgrounds:
Jonah and Eden especially loved the pony rides. They wanted to go on it over and over. Jonah just had this adorable smile on his face the entire time! He looked like such a natural cowboy! Well, besides the Vans!
It was a great weekend! My sisters and I even braved the Zipper a few times, which we haven't been on since high school. I lost my voice laughing and screaming. It was so much fun! I think I've eaten enough funnel cakes, crepes, and Dippin' Dots to last the whole year! Thanks, Mom and Dad for letting us come up!

I CAN'T WAIT for next year, especially for the food and Marcelus to have so much fun doing everything, he'll be 3, the perfect age for it!
Looks like fun! So sad we missed it this year! Ben went though since he's been working on a project in St George. He went to the rodeo sat night - all dressed up like a cowboy! haha!
Cute pictures. By the time you get mine, you'll have lots of photos. Glad you could come, having the kids was a treat. I'd do it all over again.
Looks like you guys had a blast. I wish we could go to things like that anytime we wanted. But that's what happens when you live far, far away!
The fair is so much fun with little kids and grandparents. That made me sad that I missed it.
Wow! You're brave to attempt the fair more than one day. We lasted about 6 1/2 hours with our kiddos. Looks like you had a good time! Glad we bumped into you! And...in case you forget...you're kids are adorable! I love the red hair!
