Stake Fair

Mike has been working a lot of our stake fair that was held today.  He managed to get an extra internet box put in the cultural hall for this event.  There was a huge family history thing going on.  No one had any problems with the internet, so that was a win for Mike.  We came inside for a drawing.  We had one ticket for our entire family.  We saw a lady put in a bunch of tickets.  Oh well.  Stockton was holding the ticket.  I laughed and said, "We won't win for sure with Stockton holding it." Stockton is not a lucky person.  Stockton quickly handed the ticket to Preston.  Preston is a lucky person.  Anyway, Preston won the prize! He was pretty excited.

The fair was pretty fun.  They had water games, pie eating contests, bouncy houses, all sorts of games with prizes, hot dogs, a car show. The list goes on and on.  There were some pretty fancy cars there.  I think Mike took pictures of some, but I forgot to get them.  I had to take Jorja to softball practice.  I hurried and dropped her off so I could get back to the fair.  I convinced Matt and Sam to bring Anne up here.  We had lunch.  I sat next to Alex Boye.  He is not in our stake.  He said his family comes here every year because they like it so much.  How fun is that?

 I had fun taking pictures of these guys as they were walking away

Anne loved the bounce house.  At first she didn't want to go in.  I climbed in there with her.  She jumped and jumped like crazy.  We went down the slide twice.  She was not happy at all when it was time to leave.

 Inside the church there was this giant tree picture.  It was pretty cool.  I took a few pictures of it.

Jorja had a friend come over today.  Her name is Katlyn.  They had a great time.  They took off on scooters.  The only problem is we had no idea where they went.  We are not use to any of our kids leaving to play around the neighborhood.  It's good, we just need to get use to it.  Mike and I drove around until we found her a few streets up.  They had found Melissa.  Melissa was Jorja's stand partner in orchestra and she really likes her.  Melissa came back to our house with the other girls. They decided they wanted to do a snow cone stand.  Melissa brought a cooler that they filled with ice.  They made a sign and stood on the street corner for an hour.  They managed to make $6, which was quite impressive because it was pretty cold.  We had to track them down and tell them it was time for Katlyn to go home.  Jorja came with us when we dropped her off.  We hurried back, dropped Jorja off and then Mike and I headed to Steve and Shannon's house.  They have Fox Sports 1, so we were able to watch the BYU game with them.  It was a great game until the last three minutes.  It would have been amazing if they could have pulled it off.  Oh well.  This is now two games in a row that Mike has watched the entire game.  I can hardly believe it!
