Idaho Trip: Jerome County Fair

One of my favorite memories as a child was going to the Twin Falls County Fair. Since we've had children, I've always wanted to take them, but we are never in town at the right time.  I got smart during this trip and did a little research to see if any other counties were having their fair.  Lo and behold, Jerome County was!  So we decided to check it out and we convinced Amy to meet us there.
I saw a 4-H dog show on the schedule and thought the boys might enjoy that.  It was....um...very...cute, and small-ish.  The "show" consisted of about 5 kids walking their mutts around a 20 foot square.  Most of the dogs weren't exactly on their best behavior, and some of those poor kids had no idea what they were doing.  (Although, I saw even more frustration with the poor kids in the arena next door trying to get their big bulls to obey!)
But the boys enjoyed it for a little while and mainly just liked being with Grandma Lori.
And Aunt Lauren, although I'm not sure she was enjoying getting her hair pulled!!
We let the cousins check out the big slide

and then headed to the animal stables.
Wesley LOVED the horses!
Caleb and Grandma got up close and personal with the sheep.
It was a great Western kind of day!
