A FAIR DAY AT THE FAIR

E, A, V, and D came up to visit us over Labor Day weekend. We spent Saturday and Sunday camping at Green Canyon, swimming at the hot springs pool, and splashing in the river.

On Monday, we drove down to the Eastern Idaho State Fair in Blackfoot. MeiMei squealed with delight every time she saw an animal and especially when she got close enough to pet one.

Pal, Chunkabear, and A cowboyed up and rode the mechanical bull! They each did a fantastic job, although Chunkabear was the only one who rode the full time without getting bucked off.

There was a neat exhibit with all sorts of animals such as snakes, tortoises, parrots, alligators, and lizards. The four older kids had the opportunity to have their picture taken holding a baby alligator. How cool is that?!

All in all, it was a great weekend. I am so happy that E and the family were able to come up for a visit. We love you guys!!
