home grown UTAH fun

we hit up the state fair this afternoon with our favorite family

and great times were had by all. 

i was a bit skeptical at first seeing as the last time i attended ( i was required as being a member of the FFA. don't ask... ) i puked after walking through the livestock housing. 

however, it seems now seven years and two children later i can stomach much more.

go figure.

 :)

AND..

 let's get talking about the crowd this shindig 

brings in (best people watching you'll ever find) and then let's truly get discussing the FOOD.

 holy moly, i nearly died and went to heaven. 

i will love any joint that serves hot, gooey delicious funnel cake, with a side of thick n' heavy cheesy loaded potato skins.

mmmmmm. mmmm. mmmmmmmm!

are you drooling? 

i most certainly am.

 all over again.

in the words of Rachel Ray

YUMMO.

 

some highlights of the afternoon were;

  the food (obviously), 

great company, 

minie's joyous outburst of " baby steak!!" upon entering the Beef Cow portion of the fair (how she made the connection i don't know, but obviously The Case For Animal Rights holds no meaning to her), 

trevan's drunk and most likely homeless new friend that wouldn't leave him alone,

burlap riding down the most incredibly fun slide ever. 

 baby animals, 

and a glorious trip on the ferris wheel.

ohh...

and i whipped out my ever so trusty point and shoot and realized how much i've missed it!

when else can you take something such as this? 

and it was such a breeze to just snatch out, snap the shot, and move on. 

and she also takes a mighty decent picture if i do say so myself.

powershot SD800, 

you have been missed.

she can't really help being adorable.

nor she.

:)

trevan and his buddy.

what i'm afraid my lady humps might just look like these days.

*sigh*.

hitler youth

as we affectionately call them these days.

minie + jude

 great destruction and all things abominable.

 minie loved herself a little snap and shoot time as well.

she's got quite the eye if you ask me.

so there you have it.
