Utah State Fair

We weren't going to go to the state fair this year since we already went to the county fair, but our friends Nick and Kesha called us up and asked if we wanted to go with them. So we waited for the guys to get off work on Friday and packed up the cars. We met at a Mcdonalds for a quick dinner. By the time we finished dinner we decided it was too late to go, so postponed it to Saturday night since we had already bought tickets.

Saturday evening we headed down earlier and stopped at one of Josh's Mexican restaurants for dinner. We stopped and picked up a pizza for the kids (and me) and quickly ate dinner. We headed over to find a place to park, parked and made the trek to the fair. My parents were already there watching the seal show that had just started. So we quickly met up with them and watched the seal show. Here's the kids standing on some refridgerators we were next to:
Then it was off to see the animals:

Everyone was standing back taking pictures of this HUGE cow, and Brayden just started walking right up to it. We quickly had to stop him from getting too close. The cow wasn't having a good day:

And of course the rides. We bought a few tickets, and while we were walking around someone handed me a bunch they weren't using. So the kids got to go on a few rides. Here's Boston and Brayden on the roller coaster:

By the time we found the hoops they had stopped letting kids shoot. Luckily, they were nice enough to let Brayden take a few shots for free:

Going down the huge slide. Nick and Boston are on the left. Josh, Brayden, and Brooklyn are on the right:

The kids LOVED this ride. It was SO fun to see them giggle the entire time:

We aren't sure how they all fit in the helicopter, but they did. Unfortunately, they were too heavy to get it off the ground. We couldn't stop laughing at them:

Thanks Nick and Kesha for the invite! After 5 1/2 hours of the fair, I wasn't sure if I would make it back to the car without going into labor. But we made it and had a great time!
