Salt Lake County Fair

I always see advertisements for the county fair and it sounds like fun, but for some reason we can't ever go.
This year we finally made it happen and we got to go with my friend Katie (a different Katie) and her kids so that made it funner.

The fair did not disappoint either.
There were not that many people there because it was the first day. We walked around and looked at the exhibits, got lots of free candy and prizes and then went to the petting zoo. Holy crap this petting zoo was tiny but had the coolest animals. It had goats and sheep of course but then a baby horse, cow, donkey, ducks and 2 tortoises running around like it was no big deal that a million kids were poking and prodding at them. Then in a separated corner they had like 4 baby kangaroos in pouches! It was so cute and funny. Some reporter from the Deseret News was taking pictures and he asked for my kids names because supposedly we were going to be in the paper but we looked and nothing, oh well, our shot at fame was short lived.


Shayden just got a digital camera and look at this awesome shot of the tortoise.



Then the kids got to ride 3 free rides because they turned in these reading reports of books they had read, the coolest program ever, saved us moms a ton of money because that is all they got to ride, we are so frugal.


We tried to watch a mini horse show but it was too hot.
Then while we were there we had completed this scavenger hunt so they let us each take home two family movie dvds!
Oh and Katie had the great idea to park at the church next door so we didn't have to pay the $5 parking fee. Way to go, we didn't spend any money!

1 had something to say!:

You had a busy day. I figured that was the same day we got together becuase you mentioned you weren't sure of going. It looked like tons of fun.
