State Fair

"Nobody is too good for the state fair, period, though perhaps the state fair is too good for some people. If you find it beneath you to get elbow to elbow with people who have not enough money and too many kids, and folks who work the earth, and greasy-fingered, shiny-eyed cheerful miscreants operating the rides, then perhaps you have too high an opinion of yourself, because we are all made of the same suspect dust, it seems. And if your mistaken opinion of your social position prevents you from getting a fresh corn dog and a hot steaming plate of sugary funnel cake, then it serves you right. Go content yourself with a pseudo-cosmopolitan meal in your favorite faux Euro-bistro with the cheap furniture, and pretend you live in New York. As for me and my household, we'll take the fair."

Ya gotta love the fair!!! This weekend Me, Matt, the kids, and Monica aka "Girl" had the privilege of attending the Utah State Fair. I, myself had a good old time. We ate fair food, rode the too expensive fair rides, bumped shoulders with the fair people, and caught some fair entertainment (lucky me.. it was Elvis Extravaganza night!) Unfortunately, we had babies that were getting a little impatient with the fair and we had to leave earlier than I would have liked. (Babies of all ages). But here's a few highlights of our fair experience.
