I love me a good State Fair!

Gitty Up!!



Another tradition growing up for my family which was easy to hook Chris on was the State Fair. This year was no exception, and I would have to say was the best year for the Utah State Fair since I've been attending. I think we hit our first food booth within about 100 feet of the entrance (and exit for that matter) and it was a pretty busy night. Between the 5 adults and 2 kids we put down:

2 Curly Fries


1 Cheeseburger

6 Corndogs

3 Soda Pops

1 Ice Cream Cone

2 Caramel Apples

4 Corn on the Cobs

1 Funnel Cake

What we could have still eaten but were trying to show a 'little' self control:

A turkey leg

A bloomin onion

Kettle Corn

Roasted Almonds

Lemonade

More Corn on the Cob

More ice cream



Oh and I guess the other things at the fair were cool too. Of course the animals were cool to see and I'm thrilled that we didn't ride one ride either! Trace found a little corner at one point and danced the night away. Trace loved learning all about tractors from the shoulders of Uncle Jed while Kayden was thrilled to meet this weird transformer looking dude.The weather was gorgeous and the only regret was not wearing our stretchy pants!

I'm impressed that you limited yourself to only one funnel cake between all of you. That's amazing self-control.

And can anyone tell me why Lagoon does NOT sell funnel cakes? Such a disappointment.

I am all over the freshly spun cotton candy mmmm. The fair is our tradition too. You know fall is here when the state fair is in full swing.

We were at the fair Monday night! Although our only food purchase was the all-you-can-eat ice cream tent. I'm scared to ask how much $ you all spent on food that night!!
