My family went to the Utah State Fair on Monday night for family night. We go every year and have a blast. We were all there except my brother, Cameron and his family how live in Ohio, and my little brother Spencer who had chicks to hit on all night.
The deal in order for me to go was that I would have to ride in a wheelchair. The whole bedrest thing put a damper on things. I just told my sister Carly, that we could have wheelchair races. I hated it, but my loss is my kids gain. They enjoyed the wheelchair rides that they got. By the end of the night, Matt was pushing me and both kids around the fair. Way to go baby, you are so strong.
The kids love the animals and enjoyed going through all of the livestock buildings. I think that one of their favorite parts was the pony ride they went on. Eston's face was bright red with excitement the entire time, because he was on his own horse. The boy loves animals and was in heaven.
The kids went through the Little Hands on the Farm exhibit. They got to milk a pretend cow, plant veggies and pick them, drive there own little tractors, brush the sheep's wool, and many other little things. The kids loved this part.
Every year all those that are in good health take a ride on the giant yellow slide. The kids and adults love it. Eston got off the slide and was so excited that he was jumping up and down and laughing hysterically.
We enjoyed our time with our family, and look forward to going again next year with the twins. Hopefully then Carly can do more than lay in her high tech wheelchair. Oh, and Lindsay won a ribbon AGAIN this year for her art. Go girl, that is 3 years in a row.

How fun, You all look so happy, especially Eston. That big smile is to die for! We have plans to go there tomorrow. Don't you just love the little hands on the farm. Etta had so much fun last year I can't wait for her to do it again this year.
I am glad you had a wheelchair and Matt is a champion pushing you all.
I am so excited for you and the up and coming arrival of your twins. How exciting.. If you thought you had any normalacy (probaly spelled wrong) then just wait- You are awesome parents and you have a great family. Looks like the fair was fun- Who had more fun? The kids or the Parents? Good Luck with the babies-
We went to the fair on opening night when it was only $2. Wahoo! But I don't think I had nearly as much fun as you guys did. Eston has never looked happier!
We want to go so bad. It looked like a great little outing. I have your mommy and me book so when I see you next, i'll pass it on!
Okay, that pic of eston on the horse is so great! I love it... he's a little cowboy that one!
Hey Clinger's we miss you guys. We should get together soon. Let us know if we can do anything for you.
