It has been years since I have taken the kids to the Utah State Fair. Saturday night, Ben, Lizzy, Quinn, Meg, Mason, and I, decided to go to the fair.
Wow! There was so much to see, and very crowded! Fortunately, we were mainly interested in food, livestock, animals, diving, and agricultural.
My favorite story of the night is about a young man who was shooting hoops next to Ben. The game is designed to make it very unlikely for a person to make a basket. A young handicapped man, was shooting the basketball over and over again trying to win a prize. His dad or escort, was secretly giving money to the vendor. The vendor wanted this young man to make a basket, and let him shoot until he did.
We stayed and watched hoping and cheering for him to win. Finally, after quite some time he made a basket. The young man jumped in the air shouting, as cheers from the crowd rose. It made his day! Although the vendor was not obligated, he asked this young man to pick any prize he wanted. The prizes were extremely large stuff characters. He was elated!
Little Mason was a gem. He slept the 3 plus hours we were there. On our way out he decided he was hungry, and when they boy is hungry, he makes a lot of noise! We couldn't help but laugh at him. He is adorable, even when he cries (which is very rare).
