A trip to the Utah State Fair.

Or A.K.A., the public meltdown trip!  We rode the train up to the fair park yesterday.  The train ride up there was OK, it was after a potty break when we got to the fair that everything turned to shit.  Skyler decided that he "doesn't like Daddy" and started throwing a fit.  After what seemed like hours instead of minutes, he got calmed down and we had a lunch courtesy of the Utah Cattlemen's Association.  Lunch was the highlight of the trip for me, beef tenderloin sandwiches with chips for only $6!  Even Mommy enjoyed her sandwich.  I ordered one for Skyler and he only had a few bites so that meant more for me!  After lunch, we walked around and had some more public fits.  Skyler got to walk through the "kids on the farm" exhibit and did pretty good.  Everything faded quickly after that though, and it was time to leave.  The train ride back home went well, no public fits, just lots of "toot, tooting" by Skyler.  :)

Ridin' the rails!

He was SO happy!

The cattle barns got new roofs and a steel substructure (basically a building inside the building) to meet current seismic requirements. 
Cows!
Yes, this was as delicious as it looked!  Put it this way, a corn dog was $10!  $6 for a fresh grilled tenderloin sandwich was the deal of the day!

"Wave to Daddy!"

"Planting" seeds in the pretend garden.  This kid is pretty lucky, he has a real garden back at home.
