Chillaxin'

Lately we as a family have had a lot on our plate that we would rather not talk about but we were in need of some FUN family time we went to the Utah State Fair.

And of course right when we got there the kids wanted a snowcone. At $2 a small cup we didn't complain when they ate the whole thing. Plus it gave Mike and me a chance to look at the map and scheduled activites they had going on.


Mike seen that there was an expert chainsaw wood carver so we all went to see the amazment in person. The guy takes a big chunk of wood and uses his chainsaw to carver statues. Bears, Indian heads, benches, etc. I admit it was cool the first 20 minutes but soon after Hailey and I were getting bore. Finding any excuse to move around and leave for a minute or two. But the boys were loving it. Wood chips flying everywhere, the noise, the guessing of what he was making ( it was a flying eagle).

But Mike seen our boredom kicking in and the not-so-love of chainsaw music that we left and went to the carnival. Mason picked first. Since I am unable to ride the rides due to my carrying our newest addition Mike was the one who went on with the kids. I think he enjoyed it more than the kids.
Mason picked first and went on the Wizzer or whatever its called. I was VERY hestitate on letting him go but boys need to explore so....mums a word. When the ride started they must of only gone around one time and the whole time I can hear mason yelling. They stopped the ride so he can get off.


He was so pale when he got off that ride. I hugged him but couldn't help but laugh!!!

Then it was Hailey's turn. It didn't surprise us when she picked the helicopter ride. She got to fly it up and down with alittle help from dad. But if you look closely you can see she picked the Air Force 'copter. But after this we went to the petting zoo and seen the farm animals. But we left after about 2 hours of FUN that was long over due.
