Utah State Fair 2013

Our annual trip to the Utah State Fair is becoming a tradition that we look forward to each year. We started with the "Little Hands on the Farm" exhibit which the kids love. We stuck to inside activities at the fair this year since it rained for most of the afternoon. Fortunately the weather cleared up in time for the evening rodeo!



There is a science exhibit for kids with all kinds of interesting things to try. They particularly liked making large bubbles and playing with the bernoulli blower.





We had a small dusting of snow one afternoon in September. It started as hail and eventually turned to snow! The kids were so excited to see snow again they bundled up and ran outside to play. Within a couple hours the sun was back out and it all melted away.




The kids earned their Tiger Patch in karate in September. In order to earn the patch they had to pass the Tiger test which was 2 hours of strenuous activity. What they learned is that tigers never give up.
