Utah State Fair

Yesterday morning, Saxon woke up and asked me if we could go ride a horse.
So, we went to Farm Country, because those are the only horses I know of.
Saxon fed the goats, and then tried to feed the Llamas.
He can't say his "L's" so he called the Llamas by saying,
"Here Mama Mama Mama..."
It was so funny!
He even got nibbled a couple of times because he doesn't let go of the corn fast enough.

That evening, Mike took us to the Utah State Fair.
This is Mike and Saxon on the giant slide:

Saxon kept begging to ride the "doctor" ride.
Doctor?
Finally he showed us that me meant the rescue helicopter.
He knows what they are now because of Kasen's accident this summer.



He was even brave enough to ride the roller coaster and put his hands in the air :)




He used up all of Mike's tickets and LOVED every minute of it.

Here's Bridger wishing he was big enough.
Mike took him on the giant slide also so that he could at least ride one ride.

We asked Saxon if he wanted to ride the swinging pirate ship with Mike, but he said it looked too scary. Once the tickets were gone, he told Mike that he would ride the pirate ship (he must have been desperate to ride on one more).
I was nervous, watching my baby swing that high in the air!
When it was over I asked him if he liked it:
"No, it's a little bit scary."
So, we finished off the night with an elephant ear while Saxon danced to the band that was playing and Bridger tried to run away. On the way home, both kids fell asleep. Saxon kept muttering in his sleep:
"So fun...that so fun...Saxy loves that!"
Thanks Mike for such a fun night!!!
