Box Elder County Fair

 Friday we came home from the hunt, cleaned out the trailer some, showered and headed to Tremonton. We had to work the Box Elder County Rodeo from 4pm-11pm as EMS. Friday night was Tough Enough to Wear Pink so we had pink EMS shirts. 
Kennedy went to spend the night at Liz's house and she was going to bring the kids to the fair that night. Its K's last big hurrah before school started that Monday. She had been so amazing camping. One night we went out and she stayed at camp (mom was there) She cleaned out camper, did the dishes, the next time she swept the floor. She was so helpful and great. When we got home I told her since she had been so good if she continued to help at home and did a chore list I gave her then she could earn some money for the fair. I gave her $20 to cover her dinner and rides and anything else she wanted. Tickets were $1.50 a piece and most rides took 3 tickets.. plus a cheeseburger is $5 so twenty bucks really isnt that unreasonable for the night. When she got the money it was in two tens. She split it in half and gave Kinlie $10 so they could each ride rides! They had a blast.
This was half of our group. 
Todd, Mom, Dad, Chris, Me and Taylor
 We were talking about how crazy it was that my parents very first date was 35 years prior at the fair. They hated each other. My mom was not impressed by him and my dad was floored a girl could resist his charm.. so he asked her out on another date
and here we were 35 years later working the same fair together!
 The fair is one of my moms favorite things. Her and my dad try to go every year.
Tiffany dressed up Taylor so we could go for a walk about to check on the masses
 It may have gotten a little out of hand before the night was over

 We had a pretty uneventful night which was great. I had to go out early the next morning and pick up K. I figured since we spent all night partying (both of us) we deserved The Pie Dump donuts for breakfast!
