Idaho State Fair

We were able to take of down to Blackfoot for the Idaho State Fair and it was a great time had by all. Anyone who knows our Sam can imagine the squeals that are going on in this top picture where Sammy got to see "Moo-Moo's" up close.
They had Clidesdale (?) horses there, too. Those things are HUGE! Robert is even standing a little ways away and with good reason. This one was probably one of the biggest we saw.

Here Sammy is showing us the piggies. He thought they were pretty cool and were the only animals he was willing to pet. We were also able to see bunnies, goats, sheep, mini horses, longhorn bulls, turkeys, doves, and roosters.
This rooster looked like he had a crazy blonde wig on! We also enjoyed some yummy food at the fair: tiger ears (really, really big scones), corn on the cob, foot-long corn dog, prime steer hamburgers and a lemonade slush. So so good! We wanted to let Sammy ride a ride or two, but it was between 3 and 5 dollars per rider per ride! Sheesh! So we were just happy with walking around looking at all the stuff people brought to sell, the games you could lose your money on and the items entered to win awards.
Sammy's diaper leaked while we were at the fair, so when we got back to the car, we stripped him down and put him in his sweatshirt and this is what he managed during the hour ride back home. I think he looks like Tarzan!
