Much to our excitement, there was a demolition derby that night! I had my eye on the Master of Disaster.
In his heat, he came out victorious. Dan picked the car that ended up flipping over. What can I say, I've got an eye for winners (hence marrying Dan, right?). I guess that means that Dan doesn't... but only when it comes to demo. cars.So we watched the demo derby for a while and then went to a lot of animal tents. I felt bad for the pigs (read the sign above them)
and was astonished to see a chicken with hairy feet. Who knew? This chicken is more like that huge one from Seinfeld that fights Little Jerry.
At the end of the night, I wanted to try either some fried oreos or a fried candy bar but the oreos were too expensive and the candy bars were sold out. Has anyone every tried them before? How are they? I think I'm going to have to look up a recipe online and give it a try. Most definitely. Let me know if you want an in on that.
Saturday, my dad and I took pictures of my sister and her fiance, Craig, for their announcements. Some of them turned out pretty cute. I love to take pictures and was excited to be able to help. In exchange, they brought me a huge tub of my favorite thing in the world (aside from Dan and Moosetracks ice cream) - Cox's creamed honey from Shelly, Idaho. It is amazing. I'd consider that a fair trade.



And lastly, I've loved spending time with Dan and watching General Conference. I do admit that I fell asleep briefly a few times, but I really loved the talks that were given and love the push that they give me to try and be a better person. Such a wonderful time every 6 months!

Congrats on the fun weekend. You guys sure know how to keep it live. Did candice ask for some of those poses? the hand on his cheek most specifically?
good job on the photos.
Good post. It made me chuckle. "A hairy-footed chicken? Chuckle Chuckle Chuckle. A huge pumpkin? Chuckle Chuckle Chuckle." Like that.
Dude, a car actually flipped? The last demolition derby we went to in VA was WEAK: too much mud and too little space, which makes for no big hits. Glad this one was more legit. Ours was a mere county fair, though, so perhaps they step it up for the big show.
I've eaten a fried oreo. It was much better than I expected. The frying process makes the oreo disintegrate into a smooth chocolatey mush, which is sort of brownie like. And then there's the nice crunchy fried crust. Not too bad for 2,000 calories.
I LOVE state fairs. I'm jealous.
man, what fun adventures you are having. We are jealous.
