Utah State Fair Fun

We took the kids to the fair on Thursday with Kevin's family. The kids had so much fun going on the big yellow slide and riding the bull. Kutter thought he was so tough when he got done. Drake got to meet "Smokey" while Kevin, Kutter, and Quaid watched the rodeo. Drake and I walked around and looked at the animals and browsed the booths. We did take the kids to the Box Elder County fair one night and let them go on some rides, but I didn't hav my camera. Summer is nearing an end when the state fair arrives and labor day is over. How sad :(

Salsa, yum yum...... I made salsa on Tuesday. It turned out very good. So far this year I have done 30 quarts of pickles, 14 pints and 2 quarts of dilly beans, 12 pints of raspberry huckleberry jam, and 6 quarts 12 pints of salsa. It's onto peaches on Friday and finishing up salsa.

Firsts

Kutter started pre-school today, he goes two days a week for two hours. It is so nice to get that little break. He goes with some kids he knows so he didn't have a hard time. When we pulled into the school, he said "you're not leaving me here." Oh yes dear I am, and I did. He had a fun day.
Drake started 2nd. grade and loves being in school. He is such a social bug and has made all new friends. He didn't have any of the same kids from 1rst. grade in his class this year. He likes his teacher and his favorite part is recess of course.
One excited boy.
