Idaho Fair




Fairs are a big deal in Idaho. When its cold for 9 months and you don't have anything like Disneyland, the local fair becomes quite an event.The grandkids all participated in the fair in some capacity.
The little ones enjoyed a parade in the morning
Nancee and Spencer ran a 5K with J and Sam
(Nancee pretending to be hurt...she's faking)
Then Mom and I met up with the big kids and spent the rest of the afternoon at the fair where we did lots of fun stuff.
J and Sam were a good match for the jousting game.
And, the coolest thing of all was that Mallory got to participate in the "mutton busting" contest! Its basically like bull-riding but for kids, so they ride on the back of lambs. Mallory did awesome and hung onto the lamb so tight that he gave in. She was super brave! I waited in line with her and those things were pretty big and wild up close but she did it anyway! Go Mal!
