Utah State Fair

I attended the State Fair this year. Yea for Brooke!! You've lived in Utah how long now? Well, there has to be a first for everybody and this year it was me. May I suggest, if you are a people-watcher the fair is a great place to go. Find yourself a nice seat, grab some corn on the cobb with whatever you want sauced all over it, and be entertained for hours! Love it!

Here are a couple pictures from our adventure. (By the way I went with Dannon, Abby, Brigham, Porter, Mark, and Beki so when I say we I mean all of us!) We watched an awesome horse pull. These horses were gargantuous! I was so amazed at how big they were, let alone pulling thousands of pounds of shingles! (This picture is the lightweight horses)


We headed on over to the goats, pigs, sheep, and cows. The boys sure liked the animals! This is Brigham petting a goat. The goats would try to eat anything that they could reach!

Didn't even phase Porter boy. He was right in all the action!


The pig barn was hard to walk into at first because it smelled so bad. But then we found this! They were all snuggling! How cute huh! It so funny that they sleep like that. Even the big pigs were right up next to each other sleeping.

After the animals and the big yellow slide that I had the privledge of going on with Brigham (all the pictures were black so I couldn't post them) we headed back over the horse pull. This time it was the heavyweights! I've never seen such big horses in my life! They said they weighed like 4,500 lbs and together they pulled over 10,000 lbs! It was fun to watch.




I'm am for sure putting this event on my calendar for next year!

I think the best attraction is Dannon's side burns in the first picture! Love the sideburns!

The pigs are cute too. :-)
