A sweet surprise
Saturday night after we got home from the fair, I got a call from my little sister Tess. She lives in Boise with her husband and is 34 weeks pregnant. She asked about what we did that day and I went on and on about the fair. I asked how her baby in her belly was doing and she said "good, do you want to see it?" I started balling and ran to the front door and there I saw my baby sister with the most adorable baby belly. Careful don't smash the baby! Tess I love you!

The State Fair
On Saturday we went to the State Fair with the kids and Grandma and Grandpa. Lauren has an image in her mind of the fair from Charlotte's web, so all she wanted to do was 1. Find Wilbur and 2. Ride the ferris wheel like Fern and Henry Fussy. So we saw many many farm animals and about 50 pigs that looked like they weighed at least 400 lbs. I feel a little embarrassed to admit that I didn't know that pigs could be so amazingly huge. Wow, just thinking about it...those were some seriously fat pigs. Anyways, so at the very end of the pig pens we saw one mother pig (which by the way she was quite a bit smaller that the other pigs we had seen). All her baby piglets were in a heap on top of each other sleeping...except one little runt. We found Wilbur!
We started to get really hungry for some serious fair food. We got this mountain of fries that was about 12 inches tall and shaped like a cone. It was awesome. So the entire time all Lauren can talk about is riding the ferris wheel and when are we going and on and on over and over. So finally it was time to go ride this big huge wheel in the sky that we've been able to see since we arrived at the fair. We get there and ...you guessed it...poor little short Lauren was less than an inch under the "You must be at least this tall" sign. Oh Man Seriously!!! She was so sad but so sweet about it. I think everyone has a "to small to ride the big ride" story from their childhood. Mine was Lagoon. I was 7 and I couldn't ride in the little boats with Ylfe and Adam. I am scarred. I've never been back to Lagoon. Lauren and I went and found the carousel while Dave took the other kids on the darn ferris wheel. Maybe next year. 
The kids had a great time with Grandma and Grandpa. Here's some alien wood carvings. We watched the guy carving the tree with a chain saw. The boys thought that was pretty cool.
Can't go to the State Fair and not get elephant ears.
And a carmel apple for my little Fern.
