Fair week

The very last week of summer, right before school, my family and I headed to Idaho to go to grandma and grampa's house and to go to the fair and rodeo. It was the BEST thing I did this summer. It was a blast. This is my older sister and me eating (what i would call) the best corn in the world! My sister made me try it and it was so good I wanted to get another one. They dunk it in the best real butter bath and then we add the seasonings. So ...so.... good.

My favorite part of the rodeo was the bare back bull riding. (say that 10 times fast). Everyone did a great job and some of the riders live in Utah. Go them! This stupid bull wouldn't go out of the arena.


The raising of the colors. (don't worry you don't have to take your hats off while reading this)

The piggies and me, after taking this picture I am highly afraid of pigs. They make the loudest, scariest, squeals in the world. It sound to me like someone is about to either scratch fingers on a chalkboard or they are falling off of a very steep cliff. It scares me. It sqealed in my ear and I went jumping back about 5 feet.

This bright lime green binder behind me is my scrapbook. I won 2nd in over all, but I won "Best Youth Scrapbook". For that I got a $5 gift card to the "Keepsake Cottage". By the time we got to the store to get something with it we fjound out they have new Saturday hours and we were 4 minutes late. What a bummer.

In 8th grade sewing class, I made this pillow along with another one. I was over the top excited to see this. I worked hard on it and it paid off.

These are my cookies that I made for the fair. I got a blue ribbon and I was (and still am) excited. I used my neighbors recipe to make "Peanut butter and Chocolate chip" cookies. They were so good, with last minute help from her. So thank you so much if you are reading this.

One of my all time favorite things to do up at the fair is riding on grandpa's go-cart. It is so much fun to drive and I could ride it all day long. I think it would be kind of fun to ride it around town. All the motorcycle gangs would be highly jealous. Don't you think so?

This is my dad and my younger sister. This is the first year she got to drive by herself she is really very good.
This is my aunt on the go-cart with me. I love her to death.

This is some of my family at the parade. It started late but that' s ok because it was well worth the wait. We jumped for the candy just like any other joe. (only the good ones of course)

Can't hardly wait until next summer!
