The SECOND Happiest Place on Earth

...Is the State Fair.

(Obviously THEE Happiest Place on Earth is Disneyland.)

Every fall I LIVE to go to the state fair! It's chuck full of rides you may or may not die on, fried food, baby animals, people watching, the potato sack slide & high quality cotton candy.

With a list such as that why would you NOT want to go to the State Fair?

See you next year State Fair!



This is The Place Heritage Park

As you know from THIS POST & THIS POST..

 I think baby animals are the greatest thing ever.

..Anytime I'm around baby animals I'm on cloud 9..

 

This past weekend we went with a couple friends to the Baby Animal Petting Zoo at This is The Place Heritage Park which is across the street from Hogle Zoo. If you haven't been there lately, you're overdue for a day of fun.

 

Their Baby Animal Season goes until May 24th, but they're all so tiny now, I would go sooner rather than later! We saw chickies, bunnies, baby lambs, baby goats, baby ostriches, cows & one big fat pig!

 

Here are some of the pictures from visiting the baby animals.

[AKA the third best day of my life.]

 

 

 

The baby goat LOVED Spencer! The little guy started falling asleep when Spencer held him!

 

Then we stopped at the soft little lambies

Winston LOVES it when I rub his little ears & I imagined the lamb would like it too! Since I didn't see anyone else taking the initiative to rub his ears for him, I did it..

Please look at him!!

I WAS DYING..

K maybe you can't see his little face.. let me zoom in for you..

I think it's safe to say he loved his ear rubs!

LOOK AT HIS LITTLE BUCK TEETH!

PURE HAPPINESS

[Obviously Winston is way cuter...]

 

 

There were tons of other activities to do as well!

We rode the train around & stopped at the leather shop to stamp our own leather squares..

 

Then we panned for gold in the stream..

 I clearly found the big bucks.

Visited the small children's cemetery..

 

Took cute family pictures..

 

..And obviously Spencer wanted to milk the fake cow..

 

We had so much fun spending our day here! There are cute little houses to explore & the cutest little shops to go in. Everyone is dressed up like the olden days which really made things interesting.

Utah State Fair

I know I'm a little late posting about the State Fair since it has been over for more than a week now.. But here are some of the pictures!

 

State Fair Round 1

 

 

We had to try Utah's famous Green Jell-o.

This time it was fried! It was pretty good, but I wouldn't get it again..

 

Excited & terrified to ride Fair Rides...

 

Delicious treats and getting to see the piggies!!

 

STATE FAIR ROUND 2

 

Spencer had lacrosse practice and wasn't able to come to the fair for round 2. I went with Jeff and some of his friends.

(totally shocked Jeff rode the mechanical bull!)

 

I LOVE walking through and seeing the animals!!

I even paid $5.00 to take a picture with this little baby goat!

Best $5.00 I ever spent, really.

 

We got to see the butter sculpture!
A play on The Hunger Games- it was soo cool!

 

I love baby animals, burlap sack slides, good treats, rides that don't look too safe, carnies, good friends and new adventures.

 

State Fair 2013: I'm already looking forward to you!
