Utah State Fair

We decided to go to the State Fair this year.  The boys have a short day of school on Fridays, so as soon as Tyler got out of school we headed downtown.
After we parked and got in the fair grounds we found out that their was a circus that day but we needed tickets, so we picked those up before going on some rides.
Tony got him and the three older kids wrist bands that gave them unlimited ride access.  So Allie and I watched them go on a bunch of different rides before we headed to see the circus.
I took the kids and got us some seats for the circus while Tony found us some kettle corn popcorn to eat while we watched the performance.
It was really hot under the circus tent, but I was able to find us some good seats about 4 rows up.  Tony found us and brought us a big bag of yummy kettle corn.  Our one mistake was not having enough water.  I didn't top off our water bottle or our sippy cup, so we ran out of water fast.  All of us were very thirsty by the end of the circus.
The circus was pretty fun for a free with admission circus.  They had camels, acrobats, a high flying couple, and even motorcycles that drove around in circles inside a cage...pretty crazy.  And the drivers where old dudes, nuts.

After the circus we went and saw the animals.  They had a lot of sheep, goats, cows, etc.  We also saw bunnies, bees, and butterflies.  The kids got to pet a baby cow, lamb, and chickens too.  They were so cute.
After the animals we went to the FFA place where the little kids get to do all things agriculture like take pretend seeds, plant them, and then harvest their goods.  They even got to milk a pretend cow and brush a pretend sheep.  Then they take the goods and sell them.  They all get a snack at the end.  It is pretty cute and the kids really liked it.
After that it was time to eat some dinner.  We got the kids chicken and fries and Tony and I got stake sandwiches.  The stake was really good.  Nice and tender.  I gave Tyler and Josh a bite and then Josh decided he wanted the rest of mine.  He really likes stake.  I didn't mind too much, he helped me with my diet plan.

Then it was ride time.  The kids wanted to get in as many more rides as they could before we went home.  They had so much fun on the rides.  Allie did pretty good sitting out and walking around.  Then when it was after 8 we decided to head home.  We all had a good time and hope to make this an annual event.
