What to write . . .

All the family and a few welcomed extras went to the Utah State Fair on Monday. The weather was overcast but comfortable and no rain. We had such a nice time walking around exploring the animals, the displays, and watching the kids giggle and smile at everything. We looked at the world's largest (dead) alligator whose owner said she only feeds it once a month.  We pushed our fingers into the sheep's thick wool coats and stared at the cows' rear ends and their bodily functions in full operation. We admired the flashing lights of the carnival rides but only let the kids do the gunny sack slide - it was a hit.  Our walk around the fair also included the live sound of  the Surfin USA - Beach Boy concert.  They sounded pretty good and it was kind of energizing listening to the "old duffers" perform.  Food tasting included a bag of doughnuts, funnel cake, caramels, corn dog, pizza, lemonade, and more.
