Box Elder County Fair - August 23, 2014

Saturday - August 23, 2014

We had planned to go to the fair and ride the rides on the night of the parade, but a storm hit right after the parade and made it too dangerous to go.  So the kids have been waiting and asking every day when we will go.  I was hoping that we could all go together today, but Roger had to work overtime.  It was kind of a busy day.  We needed to do a little back to school shopping and fun stuff like that.  We worked hard to finish everything that we needed to do, then we went to the fair.  The sad thing is that we didn't get to go until 3:00 ish and we had to be home at 5:00 so Roger could go to work.  So, we didn't have a ton of time.  Alissa called and invited Erin to come with us.  Erin and Alissa pooled their money together so they could get a lot of ride tickets.  They were very nice and shared with Parker and Brinley, so they got to go on a couple rides also.

It rained today so there was lots of mud.  It made it very difficult for me to walk.  I kept slipping.  I was so sure I was going to end up on the ground all covered in mud.  Luckily, I made it with out falling.  Here we are on our way into the fair.

 We went and got our tickets as soon as we got there.  Alissa really wanted to go on Fire Ball.  She loves this ride!  Nobody else was brave enough to go on it with her, so she went by herself.

 Parker and Brinley went on the Merry-go-Round for their first ride.

 We ran into out friends, Damien and Conner, while we were waiting in line for this ride.  Parker and Brinley were so happy about this.  It was fun to be able to go on the ride with friends.

The time went super fast.  We had to hurry home as fast as we could.  Before we headed home, we stopped to pick up Erin's brother, Ben, so he could come hang out for a while.  He didn't want to go to the fair, but he wanted to hang out when we were done.  We got home just in time for Roger to gather his things and head out the door.  The kids spent the rest of the evening playing video games.  They all had a really fun day and were super tired by the time it was all over.
