Western Idaho Fair (Aug 19, 2011)

We wanted to do something fun with the family for the weekend so we decided to take the kids to the fair.


Tory researched all the different activities and shows they had and what times they would be going on and printed up maps and a schedule for us so we could make the most of our time there. The first thing we went to was a pig race. The audience was split into 4 cheering sections, one for each pig. Then one person was selected from each section to represent their team. On the third race Chase was chosen and his pig won!! As a prize he got a pig nose.

We saw a sea lion show (which after Sea World the kids weren't too impressed) and decorated cookies, and got snow cones, and went to the animal petting area, and before we went home we let the kids pick a few rides to go on.



It was a really nice time. They even had a Nursing Mothers area set up with 3 small private curtained rooms with rocking chairs, air conditioning, and a table with coloring pages and crafts for the kids.




We only misplace Tyler about 4 times but that all. He was never very far, but we still had to search around for him.

(Maybe we will bring a leash next time)

I don't know if we will go again any time soon, but it was fun to do something different.
