Utah State Fair

Last week we went to the State Fair with my brother and his family. It's become a tradition for us over the past few years. James, Isabelle and I actually went twice last week. My whole family had planned to go together on the only day it rained. James and I headed out before the rest of the crew, and wound up spending $18 for 30 minutes at the fair. It was a miserable downpour! We did get Isabelle's caricature done, and got some yummy kettle corn, so it wasn't a total loss! We told the rest of the group not to bother coming. However, our second experience was much, much better! We have a great time every year, and of course, Isabelle enjoys it more every year. Isabelle said her favorite part of the fair was shopping at the farm. They do all of their farm chores and earn a dollar to buy a treat at the market. She loved it!

She just loved the pony ride!

Little posers!

Daddy and Isabelle had a great time on the big yellow slide!

Mommy and Belly had fun too!

Cute cousins... they each say the other is her best friend!

I've taken Isabelle's picture here every year. It made me sad to look back and see how much she's grown and how quickly time has flown by.

Here she is last year. Not only has she grown much taller, she's gotten a lot more hair over the past year!

Here she is when she was just a chubby little 9 month old. So sweet!

Here are our future farmers of America!

We had such a great time and look forward to many more trips to the fair!
