Tagg and Sloane were a little too young to really, truly appreciate their first Utah State Fair. Scott, on the other hand...he really got it! Tagg loved the cows and the pigs. Scott and I were flabbergasted 
by the epic line stretching in front of the "deep fried twinkies, oreos, candy bars and, yes...wait for it...deep fried chocolate covered bacon."
Sloane was all decked out for her first trip to the fair. We thought that the fall weather would have kicked in so we went a little warm and then it was 100 degrees. Woops! The hat was cute though!
We realized shortly after arriving at the carnie portion of the Fair that things have changed. Back in the day, you used to actually have to spend money and exercise some skill to get that big ol' stuffed animal. Now, they just kind of ask you how much you're willing to spend and that's what you give them. I don't think it bodes well for men who really want to provide for their family by winning oversized green stuffed crayons (made in China). I have to say, never saw Scott nail so many dart shots! And the kids love that big green crayon!
The weekend before our journey to the Fair, Scott was out of town on his "Wild Hogs" Harley ride to Jackson with Dan the
bday boy and the crew. They managed to dodge a lot of nasty weather. Tagg and Sloane and I had some adventures - CostCo on Saturday morning after nearly running out of diapers the night before, a major meltdown at BFC, and then a volcanic puking 
event which I completely blame on McDonalds. This photo is from right before the barfing began. We (whatever, it was totally me! me, me, me!) also cured Tagg of his binky addiction which added a little stress to the single-parent weekend but was well worth it!
