Jared/Shiloh asked Kailee and I if we wanted to go with them to the Utah State Fair this past Saturday, so we took advantage of the opportunity. Since Gene is gone to South Africa until the end of the month, I figured we better go now because the fair will probably be over before he gets back into town. Instead of doing my job (taking some cute pictures) I ended up playing with the kids and having fun instead. So there are NOT very many pictures--I'm going to have to do better. :o) But I will post what I have. Anyway, the above picture was taken on the way to the fair--Jared took it for me. But we had to slow way down because of a bad wreck that was up ahead of us, and that is why Jared noticed this guy's license plate. We thought it was a little bit odd--it said "HIV NEG" on his license plate. I guess he was proud of that fact. Hmmm.
We had to park about 1/2 mile away from the fair and hike in, and of course the 4-H building would be at the farthest end of the place. :o) But we finally got there and found Kailee's dress--she got another blue ribbon, so she was pretty excited. They had organized all of the things so nicely--they tried to color coordinate all of the entries--on one table, they had all kinds of green stuff, on another table was some brown/pink stuff, etc. Kailee's brown/turquoise dress with the jacket is hanging to the right side of Kailee's head.
Kiera's dress also made it to state, and she got a blue ribbon as well. So we decided to go ahead and take a picture of it while we were there. Her dress is the dark blue one in the middle.
Okay, folks, last picture. haha! This is a picture of Kailee and Christiaan riding the ponies--it was $4.00 each to ride them, and it was a SHORT ride!! The tickets were $1.00 each, and most of the rides were 3 tickets, which means $3.00--kind of ridiculous!! Anyway, they went down this huge slide--I should have had my camera out because Christiaan went down all by himself. And he was doing really well until he got about halfway down, and he started turning sideways--they have them slide down on these burlap sacks so that they will go faster. Anyway, you should have seen the expression on his face--it turned from a calm look to one of terror pretty quickly. But he was at the bottom before you could blink an eye, and he was fine by then. He was pretty proud of himself for doing it all by himself. And Kailee had to do this "Go Fishing" thing--she caught one of the fish and won a little stuffed dog, so she was a happy camper. The last thing we did (because Jared insisted) was to go buy a funnel cake--I hadn't had one of those since we went to the East Texas fair a long time ago. But they were SO good--we enjoyed pigging out on those. :o)

That's great that Kailee got a blue ribbon at state. Good for her. Looks like it was a lot of fun for you guys.
Hey Dana...Long time now hear! I got your blog address from a friend and thought I'd check in with you. Everyone looks the same just older and wiser! Don't worry, Tyler is still on the map after hurricane IKE! We are doing well and trying to survive another year of school. How is Jenalee? I think of you guys often. Take care, Erica Hyland
