The State Fair

A few weeks ago Dave and I went with my family to the State Fair in Salt Lake City. It has become a tradition and we have gone for the past three years, we always get wristbands and go on as many rides as we possibly can! This was the first year my sister Helena did not come with us :( She got married and moved out of state (we missed you Helena!)


(Mike is Chantel's husband, Chantel is my younger sister, Evan is David's friend and David is my little brother)

Dave and I went on this spinning ride with Mike, Chantel, Evan and David (Evan and David are in the cup to the right, in the back of the picture). I took this when we were all spinning, we happened to matched up perfectly so I ended up getting a shot with everyone in it (is that impressive or what?)


David and Even on the octopus ride, this was the first time Evan would go on it. David has been trying to get him to ride 'the octopus' since we started going to the fair and finally his persistence paid off!


This is the 'super shot' it was about six stories high... And for some reason my family thought it would be fun to go on... I did not agree, so I took the pictures instead : )

My uncle Ron, My Dad and Jimmy (my older brother)
This is them on their way up, they looked thrilled...


This is David (you can't really see him because he got cut off in this picture), Mike and Chantel dropping down from the ride. I am so glad I got a picture that captured their expressions!


And this is right after the ride ended (you can see David better now), they seemed to have enjoy themselves!

We all had a great time, though everyone did get really sunburned.

Oh what a lot of fun. I think you were wise to stay on the ground for that last ride. SCARY!

Those are great pictures! I'm not sure I would have wanted to ride a 6 story-drop ride that was probably assembled quickly!

I am so sad I missed it! I love this fair. ESPECIALLY the big drop one. It's been a while since I've screamed like that.

PS I didn't know Uncle Ron went to that with you guys!

Yup, he has been here for over a month now. He is working on the Mexico project, so there has been a lot of traveling and work for him to do. It has been easier for him to stay with Dad instead of traveling back and forth from Michigan.

That was so much fun! I love rides :)
