Today's Quote

“As parents, we should remember that our lives may be the book from the family library which the children most treasure. Are our examples worthy of emulation? Do we live in such a way that a son or a daughter may say, ‘I want to follow my dad,’ or ‘I want to be like my mother’? Unlike the book on the library shelf, the covers of which shield its contents, our lives cannot be closed. Parents, we truly are an open book in the library of learning of our homes.” Thomas S Monson

Wyoming Big Show aka Sweetwater County Fair

We could only afford to go once and so we had to choose wisely which was hard for David. And made me a bit sad too. David REALLY wanted to go on Tues. LeAnne Rimes was performing. And here, you get the concert for the price of admission to the Fair. So, for $10 he could have seen her in Concert. Then, there's the Kids Day where the Kids can ride all the rides they want until 5 pm for $15 per child. We had to miss that.

We chose to go today... well, since it's 2 am, technically yesterday.

We got there @ around 1:30 pm. Amie Geddie and 3 of her Children (Charitee 13, and Twins Isaiah, and Harmanee 5) went with us. We started with the booths inside. As we were leaving the main building, we saw Ginger Wallace and her 3 Girls. My Girls were so excited to see them.

Us 3 Families got ice cream, watched Pig Races, saw an ENORMOUS pig, watched the Chicago Sugar Bears perform, and watched a science based magic show. (during which we were very happy to be inside since it rained horribly)

About that time, Amanda Vaughn and her Husband and 2 daughters met up with us.

Then it was time for something to eat. After which Ginger and crew left, and Amanda took our 3 Girls to her house.

Life House was performing tonight. A Group/Band that became popular around 2001 and David and I LOVE. We went to a performance of theirs in 2002 when we were dating and they performed at the Olympics in SLC.

We kept Jacob with us. And The Geddies stayed.

Fun, fun, fun!!! David is a TOTAL Groupie ;-)

Jacob danced to the music a bit, and went to sleep not long after they started to perform. He slept for most of it. We were pretty close to the stage and had a GREAT view. Charitee had worked her way up to the front to be a Teenager.

About 2 songs away from the end, Jacob woke up and there was a decent wind/sand/rain storm.
One HUGE advantage to our location was that all of the people behind us blocked much of the storm. One man behind us offered us his shirt to cover Jacob. We declined, but that was sooo thoughtful.

The weather finally calmed, and Life House even did an Encore number.

Then it was off to get some drinks before everything closed up for the night. Amie had to leave with the Twins, and so we took Charitee home. Then to Amanda's to pick up 3 very crazy Girls, and HOME!
