Western Idaho Fair 2011

Since we went on our long road trip, we ended up missing the North Idaho Fair.  So, we decided to go to the Western Idaho Fair while in Boise.  It is bigger than the N.I. Fair and the kids had a good time!

2010 North Idaho Fair

One of my very favorite events of the year is the Fair. The kids count down the days and this year did not disappoint! Grandma Vickie and I usually get there right after lunch, then Papa, Daddy, Grandma Deb & Tom come when they are done working for the day. It was such fun!

Rylee & Paul got to ride a camel, then a pony, then feed some goats, cows, and a camel. We went through all of the exhibits, rode the rides (the kids were big enough to go on some of the bigger rides this year, so Rob went with them), eat fair food, watch a little motocross and go home EXHAUSTED!

They are in the blue one

Fair Measurements

Last year at the fair, I decided to take the kiddos pictures by the measurement charts...these are from last night! I am still amazed at how big the kids are getting!

Fair 2005

I was cleaning out my work computer and came across these pictures from the 2005 fair. Thought I would share them with you since it's fair week! This was Rylee's 1st Fair. My camera was dead (forgot to check that before I left home) and these pictures were taken by Grandma Deb! They are a little blurry, but you can still tell how cute miss Rylee is! :)

New Tradition at the fair

Taking a picture at the "rides" height chart is our new Fair tradition. I wish I would have started this 4 years ago at Rylee's first fair...

2009 North Idaho Fair

Here are some pictures from the 2009 North Idaho Fair! We all had a good time and this year it was HOT! (If you remember last year, we played in the rain and hail, so the hot weather was welcome!)

Here is Rylee and Paul on the school bus ride and the apple ride

and the airplanes

and feeding some of the horses

Tom enjoying his dinner of a huckleberry ice cream cone! :)

Paul playing on the tractors

Rylee on the draw bridge (she was tall enough to go on this ride alone, but Paul wasn't, so I went on it once with Paul and Rylee went on it at least 4 other times when Paul was watching the motocross)

Papa and Rylee waiting in line to ride the apples

and again so both kids could win once
