Fair

Jax and I visited my parents over Labor Day weekend while Luke was at a mountain biking festival (more on that story below). The county fair was going on so we took Jax out to see the animals. My favorite part of the fair is the food. I got a foot long corn dog and an elephant ear which is a giant scone covered in cinnamon and sugar. Its my favorite and they don't make it anywhere else. Jax and Grandma enjoyed some peaches and ice cream. 

 In the agricultural building they had a kiddie pool filled with corn, grains, and beans. It was Jax's favorite. He kept laying in it and trying to swim.

 Jax wasn't sure how he felt about being a fat farmer and wasn't sure why he was an ear of corn.

 Feeding the goats with Grandma.

 I really wanted to take this baby goat home to be friends with Baxter. It was so cute!

 

 Pat the bunny.

 This was right before the turkey charged us and made Jax jump. 

 My parents offered to pay for Jax to ride this little train. I was hesitant because its sometimes hard to tell if he is enjoying himself when he tries new things. His face is usually passive and he gets ready to move on quickly. The car had a seat belt and a steering wheel so I thought we might be OK. He LOVED it! He had a huge grin on his face and was happy squealing the whole time. Everybody that walked by said he was so cute. 

Now Luke's story. There is a mountain bike festival at the Targhee ski resort in Idaho that he went to last year and had a good time so this year he convinced his dad and brother to go. They both ended up having to cancel on him so he was up there by himself. The second day he took a pretty good spill. He landed a jump wrong and went over the handlebars and landed on his head. He got some pretty good scrapes, five staples in his head, and a week off of work to let some back pain heal up. We are glad he made it home to us safely!
