Utah State Fair!

Monday, September 13th, we decided to go to the State Fair! The day was warmer than we had anticipated however, it was also the day for the all you can eat ice cream...so we decided to go their first!

We got a little sample from each company and school there. Anne got the cotton candy ice cream from USU and loved it!

We decided to eat our Creamies outside though...it was pretty crowded in there!

Then we were off to the Little Hands on the Farm exhibit. We've done this 3 years in a row now and Anne has more fun with it each year! She gathered grain to feed to the cow and then after feeding the cow (which took some prying...she didn't want to give up the grain she just got), she milked the cow.

She was so excited to pick the apple off of the tree!
She hopped on the first tractor she saw...but then she noticed the PINK ones...so she had to switch!

Brushing the lamb and gathering eggs from the chickens.

This photo was tricky...it was hard holding her up there!
And of course we had to measure her!

And I love that we have these 2 photos from the previous years! Look at how much she has grown!

Something we hadn't counted on was Anne asking to ride the rides! We found one that she was really interested in that she COULD ride! She also wanted to ride all of the big kid rides and was so sad when we told her she wasn't tall enough yet!

Woo-hoo!

Daddy had fun too even though he didn't want to go at first. Mommy couldn't go since she's pregnant!

Then it was finally time to see the animals! She was having so much fun making their noises!

This was such a big cow...I just had to take a picture! And notice the puppy "backback" Anne is now wearing. She decided she didn't need to stay next to mommy and daddy while in the goat house...we won!
Then off to the DNR building! Anne loved looking at all of the fish and touching the bear skins!
We then had dinner and just walked around for a bit. It was a very fun family outing! Probably the last one before baby sister joins us...and then there will be more fun to be had x2!

So neat that you guys have been having so much fun lately! It's great to get in some fun time with Anne before she has to share your time with her sister!
