Keeping with my theme of posting things that happened months ago... here is our trip to the local county fairs. Our home county of Cache has a fair in August every year that we like to take the kids to. Tom really enjoys it because of the heavy machinery (tractors, etc.) and Mary Alice discovered what animals felt (and unfortunately tasted....) like.

Everything looks better from Dad's shoulders...

Nothing like cows and cotton candy...

Mmmm.... meat.
Box Elder County Fair
The neighboring county of Box Elder also hosts a country shin-dig every year. This year we went with our good friends the Esplins, residents of the county. Their 4, almost 5, year old Ashton and our Thomas had a good time on the rides.




But poor little EmmaLee was not so thrilled. The random kid sitting next to her, though, seemed well trained for cheeses.
