State Fair

Two weeks ago the Idaho State Fair was going on. There were lots of fun activities, and I was lucky enough to participate in two of the coolest of them all! First of all, the Josh Turner/Wreckers concert. For those of you that don't know (mom) they are country singers. It was really good. I have to admit though, I liked Josh's stage performance a LOT more than the Wreckers.

You can't go to the fair without going to see the animals. We stumbled upon this Ginormous Pig. He (it's definitely a HE) was only 2 years old, but weighed 770 lbs. He's a monster!!

The next fun activity I got to go to was the demolition derby. I haven't been to one in a really long time, and it was awesome. My favorite round was the powderpuff round. It was awesome. Those girls were vicious.

One the side of one of the cars it said "Nacho Derbre". At the end of his round, the guy got out of his car, and he was wearing the Nacho Libre suit. It was pretty funny!

I do have a pretty gross story from this night too...When we were at the fair the night before for the concert, one of the guys we were with bought a gyro. It looked really good, so I decided that's what I was going to have when I came down for the derby. Well, I got my gyro, and was eating along telling the guy I was with about how I hated onions when all of a sudden I bit into a huge onion. I open up my gyro to dig out all the onions to find a HUGE fly right in the middle. It was so gross. It made me feel really sick that I had already eaten half of it. (half of the gyro, not half of the fly! Thank goodness!!) So I took it back and they gave me a new one (without onions) I was sure to check it out before I ate any of it though! Oh the joys of fair food! But I'm grateful for my hatred of onions...it saved me from eating a fly.

We have a running joke that my wedding colors (I'm not making an announcement, just speaking of the future) are going to be brown and green. My bridesmaids are going to wear brown dresses with a strip of green down the front to look like thin mints. My refreshments are going to be brownies with mint chocolate chip ice cream on top.....and at the fair, I found the perfect cake for the occasion!!
