YeeHaw!

The Twin Falls County Fair & Rodeo has come roaring back into town for 2008! We try to make a point to catch at least one night of rodeo and several days of fair-food! The corn dogs, mini-donuts, elephant ears, raspberry lemonade, pitas...I could go on! It's great and ridiculously expensive, but I guess that's part of the fair.

Last night, Eric and I ventured out to the grounds to watch the first night of rodeo. We had some gigantic corn dogs, meandered around a little, then found a couple of seats in the grandstands. It was a good time, but he got a little restless, so we headed over to the animal barns! We had so much fun (after getting some mini-donuts, of course!)


That was one big loader!

The boy loves his mustard!

He rode T-Bone and did awesome!

The ponies were a hit--they were just his size!

This little piggie thought he smelled good!

We also visited the sheep and the rabbits and the alpacas! Shelley had her alpaca, Rocky, in the fair this year and she won 6 out of 7 first-place ribbons! The only one she didn't win was the Grand Champion, in which she received Reserve Grand Champion! We were so happy for her!

We're going back to the fair again today to brave the rides! The weather has been so spectacularly cool that it's enjoyable all day! And I'm really looking forward to it; this is the first year Eric will really be able to participate in the fair activites, instead of constantly being told "you're not big enough yet, honey". More pictures to come!
