Dan, Sienna & I met up with my friend Christy and her boyfriend Ryan at the Utah State Fair. It was a fun night! Christy warned me before we got that there Ryan has Carni-phobia (he's a funny guy). He did really well and didn't even twitch as we neared the tents. We were so proud of him conquering his fears by playing a few rounds of darts (see picture below of he, Dan & one of our favorite Carni's of the night!). Dan & Ryan were so noble trying to win us prizes. I asked them later if they purposely picked the booth with the worst prizes. Don't worry, we did come home with a little ghetto teddy bear covered in dollar bills. That's definitely going into Sienna's hope chest (or hopeless chest, as my brothers liked to call it)....or maybe straight into the washing machine! And to think we could have had a life-size one for only $50.00 worth of darts. You just can't hit the fair without having super greasy, tasty food, which we did! We had yummy navajo tacos & philly cheesesteak sandwiches, which were surprisingly delish. We went through one of the tents to check out some of the local lifestock who compete. We ended up seeing these crazy-looking goats. One of them looked like the creature from Never-Ending Story. Super creepy-looking. And Ryan made friends with what he liked to call the Orthodox Goat. Sienna was a trooper and lasted a long time (unfortunately just not long enough to indulge in a funnel cake or fried twinkies--next time!). Good times! Thanks to Papa Sparks for hooking us up with free tickets! (And you, too, Christy!)

Camelot in Logan
My mom and aunt planned a little girl's night out last night and got tickets to see Camelot in Logan. My sister Janelle ended up going out of town, so we took one of my good friends Christy with us instead. We met up with my aunt Pat & cousin Jaime at the Iron Grill (?) for dinner (which was delish!) and then headed out over to the Ellen Eccles Theater to see the show. It was a really good show. To be honest, I didn't even really know the story. It's a good one, though. (My mom felt like a failure since I didn't know the story, since she said it's always been one of her favorites).Funny story...Well, before the show people walked in the side entrance and everyone started standing up. Christy leans over to me and says "I ain't standin' for no one until AFTER the show. They have to earn it!" (Thinking it was a cast member people were standing for). Well, it turns out it was President Monson! (And yes, we did stand). We were crying we were laughing so hard. It was really neat to see him there. I guess he has always been a great supporter of the company and Camelot is supposedly one of his favorite shows (one of many favorites, I'm sure). They announced him as a special guest of honor and thanked him for all his support. He waved and smiled at everyone and was really sweet, taking time to talk to everyone around him. He was sitting pretty close to us. I tried to take a picture, but the lighting wasn't great. You can tell that it's him, but it's not a good picture. Oh, well...LOVE that man! Anyway, thanks mom for a fun girl's night out!
