Blackfoot Fair......x2!

I love the fair! Mostly for the people watching opportunites and the food. This year, the food was an extra plus because I use pregnancy as an excuse to eat fattening, weird things and not feel too guilty about it!

I gave Aiden the option of picking WHATEVER he wanted to eat at the fair, and he picked corn on the cob! Silly boy! Of all the fair food he could pick....he picked something normal and healthy?!

And he ate it all!! Every last kernal was cleaned off that ear, and so on the way out later he got another!

(I had a bullseye burger.....a bacon cheeseburger on a glazed donut....MMMMMMMM!!!)


Aiden's favorite part of the fair is always the goats! He loves them! He would hang out with the goats all day if I let him!



This little goat licked his hand and tried to eat his shirt......Aiden laughed for ever about that! It was pretty cute! We went to the fair the first time with our favorite Merrell family. Aiden loved to ride the rides with Koop and Livi......



And Kris! Kris was a sport and rode the helecopters with the kiddos!



Of course on our way out, the boys had to show their "skills" and try and win a few toys......we came home empty handed!


The next day, Davids mom and dad invited Aiden and I to tag along to go see the horse races. We JUMPED at the chance to eat at the fair 2 times!!



We even made a little wager on a horse! I don't know a thing about horses, or bets on horses.....so I picked the horse with the orange blanket....orange is a lucky color at our house.......$2.00 to win!



The race was close....but we didnt' take first! Our horse took 3rd....and I lost my $2.00! But, it was kindof exciting!


They had Indian races too....these were really exciting to watch. The riders would ride their horses bareback and make a circle around the track and then jump to another horse and take off! It was pretty amazing to watch!


After the horse races and some YUMMY food, we managed to find the goats agian! This time, I let Aiden buy some food and feed them. They swarmed around him and he loved it!



His favorite was this cute Alpaca! He kept licking Aidens hands and he would laugh and laugh!! We went through atleast 4 cups of food with this guy, and Aiden just giggled everytime he would take a bite!



This goat got tired of waiting for his turn at the food, so he took a swipe from Grandpas program!!


We hit the rides again on the way out and Aiden loved playing in this little play land!




We had lots of fun at the fair!
