FAIR 2010

We love the Fair so much that if you knew how much time we spend there I would be completely embarrased! The fair is our annual family event here in Blackfoot and man do we love it. Not only are we hooked but we got both the kids hooked on it too. Austin was at the races so much this year that me and Clint heard him in his bed one night yelling outloud POPCORN.....CANDY.....POPCORN......CANDY! Embarassing but yes this is oftenly heard at the races when they are walking through the stands selling refreshments. He also is so funny right now cause he talks so much so another phrase he came up with during the fair was dad its five o clock time to go to the fair even if it was eight in the morning and also dad this carmel apple was five dollars, Dad this gun was five dollars.... Everything was five something!!!!! So yes we started the fair out with the Blackfoot Fair Day Parade, then the Little Buckaroo Rodeo at the Fair. Austin rode a sheep even though I didn't realize he wasnt suppose to unless he was Four. So yes he rode a sheep and probably shouldn't have! Way to go Mom?!? Anyhow he rode two jumps and then his rope fell off, but he didn't even cry and he really loved it!!!!! Then he was in the stick horse barrel racing and ran the pattern like a champion Barrel Racer!! ha Sad I know. He rope and then cried because he didn't catch like last year. Yeah we need to work on sportsmanship! We then rode the rides Tuesday went to the Impra finals to watch the uncles and we had the Real horse Barrel Racing the last day of the Fair. Austin was suppose to trot but walked slowly around them because he wouldn't use his whip, He was 84 and actually did really good because they was a lot of broken patterns so yeah for Austin knowing the Barrel Pattern! He rode a new horse we bought that Austin wants to name poppers like what he calls his basketball clothes. WHo knows where he got this word but it is well known by all who know Austin. So yes we have a cute little mare that we now call Poppers nothing like ladybug or Daisy like I suggested. So Hopefully Poppers who is a cute little four year old mare will have a happy long life with our little Arave Family!!!\
