When our kids were little we would take them to the Western Idaho Fair but we have not done that in a long time. Because Ashleigh and her kids were in town at this time I thought it would be fun if we went again this year and she was happy to go. But first Avynlea did some couples yoga with Atticus which was fun for him, for her and for all of us watching.
Jessica Pace dropped off a flower and card to thank me for serving with her in the YW. She was released as President and I was grateful for the time I had to serve with her.
After spending some time at the fair Kefford and I remembered why we haven't gone in so long, its not really super fun. The tickets for the rides are not cheap and it is super hot and just meh. We walked through and saw all of the animals and submissions for the different categories to compete for prizes. I liked looking at the quilts and think that maybe next year I will submit a quilt. The prize money is only a couple of dollars so its not like I would try to get rich off of it but I think it would be fun to submit something.
Kefford bought tickets for Avynlea and Rylee to go on one of the high flying rides and Ryker bought tickets for him and Anna to go on a ride or two. Avynlea and Rylee had enough of their tickets left over that they were able to go on one of the rides with Ryker and Anna, a haunted house type ride which they said was really lame. Atticus really wanted to go on rides but Ashleigh did not want to spend the money to let him which I completely understood. Ryker had enough tickets left over that he didn't care to use so he gave them to Ashleigh so that Atticus could pick a ride to go on. I took Abby with me and Mom and we went to go find the ice cream potato stand.

Way back in 2004 Mom had come to visit us in August and she came with us to the Western Idaho Fair where she tried an Ice cream potato for the first time. I love that she got to have one again after all this time and I took a picture so we could do a then and now.
Kefford and I got one to share and when everyone met back up with us they all got their ice cream potato, they were delicious
