Clark County Fair

Eating lunch...my friend Jill had her baby5 days later!

Riding the train with my boys!

This year the county fair was held over Easter weekend. I was a little sad because I love the fair. I love going to the rodeo, watching the boys ride the rides, eating yummy and very unhealthy fair food, and hangin out with the family. Since we were leaving for Monticello, Utah early Friday morning, I decided to take the boys on Thursday. The fair usually isn't that busy on Thursdays, but since it was Spring Break it was a little more crowded this year. The first thing we did when we got there was wait in line to ride the train around the fair. The kids had fun and that made me happy. Then we headed to the pony ride. Most of us have horses that we can ride or know someone that have horses, but we paid the $6 anyways so our kids could ride the ponies at the fair. Ty had the biggest pony there and loved it! I should have put Tag on too, but I didn't think about it in time. Next year little Taggy!!

Our friends own the bungee jump and rock climbing wall, so we were going to let Ty have another try at the bungee jump. He loved it so much when we were in California that I couldn't help but them him go again. I couldn't decide if I wanted him to wait until daddy was there to watch him or to just let him go twice. I decided to wait. We looked at the art exhibits and all the animals and then decided it was time for lunch. Normally I would buy food at the fair, but this year I decided to save some money and bring a lunch. I did miss my normal fair food, but it saved us a lot of money that we really don't need to waste on such yummy food ( can you tell I am a bit sad about missing out on the fair food?) The kids had a blast chasing each other around and pushing each other in the stroller. I went with all of my friends, so we had 10 little kids we were trying to keep our eyes on. It stressed me out a little, but all of them made it home safely, so we must have done an OK job!

After lunch we headed home for naps, so we could come back when Josh got home. Ty and Tag were so tired, but they didn't take very good naps! What is up with that! Ty didn't sleep at all and Tag only slept for an hour! I thought they would be down and out, but I was wrong. Josh got home and showered and we headed back to the fair. The first thing we did was go to the bungee jump and Ty absolutely loved it. I only got a little on my camera I can download to the computer and the other movie camera has the rest of it. He did a flip because he went super high at one point. Don't you just love to see the laughter in their eyes and the huge grinn on your childrens' faces when they are having fun? Nothing could make me happier! We had a great time at the fair and I am happy that we had one day of fun this year.
