State Fair

I have so many things I want to blog about, but keep putting them off. Things like my Education Week experience, how school is going, yada, yada. I will share this while it's fresh in my mind. These days, things spoil in there pretty fast. Yesterday we got the boys out of school a bit early and headed up to SLC for the State Fair. It was Family Day and they had a deal on admission and 1/2 price on all-you-can-ride wristbands. So we made a day of it. The kids had a great time riding the rides and they were all so good to go on the little kid rides with Soren. He had a ball, riding in the helicopters and the race cars. When we got there, there weren't many lines for the rides so they were able to ride anything they wanted pretty quickly, and that's what they spent most of the afternoon doing. In fact, I'm ashamed to say we did not look at any of the 4H stuff or Open exhibits. We did walk through the goat and dairy cow barns and through the stinky pig area. That was it. The rest of the time we rode rides and spent waayyyyyyyyyy too much money on food and games. But we had a blast. All the kids won stuffed animals and other silly(useless) toys. I'm sure if you asked my family they would say the highlight of the night was when their mother got to be part of the Kenny Ahern comedy show. That was really scary for me. But it was fun for the kids and they got it all on video. Cambria was laughing so hard the video is pretty shaky and I disappear from the screen often, but it's pretty hilarious. When he started heading into the audience for a helper and locked on me, I was really hoping he was coming for Hannah who was sitting next to me. But no such luck! My 3 minutes of stage time! I can wait an eternity before ever having to do that again. (wish I knew how to put video on here)
