The Fair

On Friday we decided to join Tyler's family for some Fair fun. We went with them to the Western Idaho State Fair. I've never been to an Idaho fair, so it was quite the first experience. We had the usual joy of trying to find a parking spot..... and Quincy refusing to eat anything. We even bought him some pizza from this booth and wouldn't take a bite at all. Stubborn little boy!
The refusal to eat food continued through the night unfortunately. Lately Quincy hasn't been wanting to eat anything. Eventually we got him to drink a fruit smoothie that was almost $5.00! I guess it was worth it because that was the only thing he ate all night. We are chalking up the lack of eating to teething. Although I have to say, as a mother, I'm especially concerned that he's not getting enough to eat. Oh well. We just keep trying.

We saw lots of interesting people, and even ran into our old friends and neighbors Holly and Corey Eisley. It was good to see them. They didn't have Caden, their little boy- who's about Quincy's age- with them, but it was still fun to say hello.

The picture above is of Quincy and his Aunt Kelly.

Quincy even got to see him Aunt Heather, who we don't get to see that often.
Tyler's engrossed in a hot tub coma. Kent and Teesy were hot tub shopping and obviously Tyler is enjoying the sales pitch. :)

Quincy got a few free things, a couple of balls, some fans, plums and this blue football.
After we walked around lots of the booths and Fair exhibits, we decided to head towards the fair concert, which was the Temptations. The stadium was packed so we managed to find some spots near the stage.
Everyone just hanging out before the concert started.

When the concert started we enjoyed watching the couple in front of us that were thoroughly enjoying the music with their booze. They were singing all the words and dancing.
Here are the famous Temptations:
Only 1 guy, the second from the left, is one of the original Temptations. The concert was great.... Quincy was so tired though, he almost fell asleep, despite the loud music and screaming fans.
We had lots of fun with the Howard's and are glad they invited us to the fair.

Looks like you guys have been having some fun outings! I haven't been up to Bogus Basin for YEARS because of the car sick factor---yuck! Glad you enjoyed yourself anyway---and that you had a great time at the fair. I love that you got to see the Temptations! I think the Bishop needs to dress like them :)

I was talking to my niece Karli (Peterson-Cleaver) today who recognized your guys' names from my bloglist. I guess Tyler's brother was good friends with her brother (my nephew) Lance. Just thought it was fun to find a connection!
