We've been to the fair again . . .

Every year my family goes to the Utah State Fair together. This year was a little crazier because Matt and I had doubled our kid load. The first thing that the kids saw when they walked in was the big tractor by the front gate. They made a chair out of the wheel because it was just their height.



Eston was so curious and running all over. Matt was pretty sure that he might get lost while we were there so he stuck a business card in his back pocket with our cell phone numbers and told Eston that if you couldn't see mom or dad to give that card to someone. Luckily we never did lose him but that boy has a lot of energy and took 3 adults at times to keep tabs on him.



We went on the Big Yellow Slide again this year. Sammie the entire day up until the minute we got to the top of the slide kept telling me that she wanted to ride alone this year. The second we got to the top she backed out and sat on Lindsay's lap. Eston however sat down on his own next to me and held on to my hand and happily went down sitting by himself. At the bottom Sammie said she was ready to go herself now. I had to break the news to her that we were only going once. Sammie loves to strike poses and looks like she had grown up tons in just the last week.



We went and rode the ponies, we saw the livestock area. Logan would just start laughing the minute he saw any animals. He is like his brother. By the end of the night Sammie was so tired from her long day, she crashed in the stroller. The younger three were still going strong.



We had a lot of fun and ran into a lot of friends while we were there.

WE have got to follow your tradition and go to the fair. It looks like you tuckered them out. It looks like Sammie is loving preschool, your fam is getting so big.

We just got back from the fair, and I'm with Sammie, it wore me out, too! But with my parents in town, it really was a fun way to spend an afternoon. How cute that Logan got so excited to see the animals!
