Eastern Idaho State Fair

We love the fair! It kind of signifies to me that summer is officially gone, and fall in here! Fall is my favorite season, but I always feel like summer should last about 2 weeks longer. We went to the fair 3 times this year! We went on Labor Day, because that's when Bailey and Mark had their performance. We just ate, saw some of the animals, and then they performed. Mark, Bailey, and Mason left after that, and I stayed down there with my friends to celebrate Becky's birthday.

Bailey always gets a corn dog! Mason tried the donut burger, and really liked it!

A deep fried Twinkie, Milky Way, and Oreos!

She could spend all day, everyday with the animals! She really needs to live on a farm or ranch!

They did a great job with their 'music through the decades.' Bailey had allergies super bad, so she struggled with the low notes. By the time she got to her last 3 songs, she didn't have a voice at all! She had to try to squeak it out! Still fun though!

These guys were cracking me up! They were swaying with their phones out to 'You Light Up My Life.' Brother Belnap even made her a rose out of a napkin and brought it up to the stage. So funny! 

Lesa, Michelle, Becky, and Mason came to watch Mark and Bailey perform. The Belnaps, Millers, Nelsons, and Abby were there for a while too. So grateful for awesome friends!  

Bailey & Mason 

Bailey wanted to make a round through the goats before they left.

Mark and I went back on Wednesday for about an hour to watch Jason Larson perform! He did awesome! Can't wait till that kid is famous!

Bailey, Mason, Mark, and I went back on Saturday to hang out, eat lots of food, and watch the Demolition Derby. We were there most of the day, and well into the night. Good times!

Our first round of food was curly fries!

Next was cheesecake sandwiched between a brownie and dipped in chocolate! 

Mason was a good sport, because Bailey had to see the animals all over again. She had to pet everything we walked by, and feed everything in the petting zoo. She would spend all day with them if we didn't make her go do other stuff.

The 'goat whisperer' working his magic again this year!

Her favorite part of the day was feeding the cow! She thought it was great! The cow would lick her until her hand was completely covered in slobber. She would just crack up and then feed it some more!

Bailey and Mason had a caricature drawn.  

So cute! It looks just like them!

More food! Mason had another donut burger, Mark had a burger that had peanut butter, bacon, and jalapeño relish on it. Sounds gross right? It was SO good! I'm totally getting one next year! Bailey and I shared a rice bowl.

Pineapple dole whips!

 After we watched the hypnotist, Bailey and Mason went and rode some of the rides, while Mark and I went and walked through the trailers. then it was time for the derby!

Riding the swings! 

It's derby time! Bailey was so excited! She's a total redneck!

Goodbye fair! It was fun, and we can't wait till next year!
