Fun at the Fair

Kate poseing in front of the chicken's. We had to keep our distance, I was pecked at twice!

Kirk in his highly prized rootin, tootin, cowboy hat. His face is covered with Cotton candy remnants.

Benjamin and Dan checking out the bunny cages. These are my favorite, and reminded me of my sister's old pet bunny Oreo. (unfortunately he froze to death such a sad fate for such a cute furry little thing, we never had the best knack for caring for pets).

Okay so I'm playing catch up. We went to the Davis County fair grounds last week, that was actually before Dan's birthday dinner, but I'm blogging this out of order. We heard that the alligator show at the fair was worth seeing, so Dan took off work early and we headed to the fair grounds. Everybody was right, the show lived up to our expectations. This alligator show was really impressive. I was surprised at how aggressive the alligator really was. I was expecting his jaws to be wired shut, but this guy wrestled with him without any safety measures. The alligator even snapped at his hand. I know that the kids had a great time. After watching the show we went and saw the animals, and let the kids pick out a little prize. Kirk insisted on getting a cowboy hat. He's been really into Cowboys ever since aspen grove. At first we couldn't find a blue one, which would have been devastating! Luckily a booth worker went and got some more blue ones to put out for sale. Kate picked out some lip gloss which she was really thrilled about. She's a girl after my own heart, she loves lip gloss. The kid's also went on a ride. I say "a ride", because we only had enough cash for one. It was a dollar per ride. Luckily I happened to have two dollars in change at the bottom of my purse. I was glad to get rid of some pennies. Finally we finished off the night by eating pizza. It really was fun, the whole family enjoyed the night. I'd love to make this a new tradition.
