Idaho State Fair and Rodney Atkins!

We went to the fair Saturday and LOVED it!

We looked at all of the animals. We love all the 4-H exhibits and think it is so fun that kids learn how to raise everything. We walked through the horse barn and found a whole row of horses that belonged to 3 different families in our ward. So fun to see them!

We ate and ate and ate some more.

It started with a tiger ear.

Then frozen lemonade.

Next was a funnel cake made from the stand that some of the girls from our ward were working.

Then we saw a sign for cheese curds.

Now remember: I am from Minnesota. Minnesota cheese curds are deep fried melty goodness from heaven. Daren goes to pay for the cheese curds and comes back with IDAHO CHEESE CURDS: cold squeaky cheese. Whoops.

Then we got an indian taco, carmel apple, cinnimon almonds, and some homemade bread from the bread barn, because "if you haven't been to the bread barn, you haven't been to the fair!"

We were stuffed silly.

Then we saw Daren's Cousin Davin and his sweet little family! They just moved back from Oregon and it was so good to see their little boys. They are so cute! Hopefully we get to see them a little more now that they are back in Idaho.

THEN

We went to our show!

RODNEY ATKINS!!!

It is hard to believe, but this was Daren's first concert outside of BYU-I.

We were in the Grand Stand, but they were really perfect seats because they were right in the middle.

Rodney was sooo entertaining! He has the best songs because it is all about real life with a sense of humor.

Do you think Daren had a good time? I think his favorite song was "Best Things".

LOVED IT!

Love him!

Then we went to the Midway.

The midway games are always pretty entertaining to watch. The prizes are all pretty lame, but this one takes the cake. I mean what kid wouldn't want a life size Homer who is wearing a speedo and missing a flipflop?

I married a stud.

And he took me on the ferris wheel :)

He also let me ride my all time favorite ride-- The SWINGS!

I totally love the feeling of flying and then the silly dizziness afterward!

We had such a good time! We can't wait until next year!!!
