for fun

Greg and Talese are also trying to have some fun. This is what we have been doing lately.

Utah State Fair! A yearly tradition, no? Well, perhaps more of a decennary tradition for some. The best part of visiting the fair was this testimony-building story: Friday afternoon on September 14th, groups of ominous clouds were gathering in the sky. Certain parts of the valley were receiving masses of rain. After finding a rather terrific parking spot on the street, Greg and Talese began walking to the fair entrance, and found themselves facing a mass of black clouds spewing lightning bolts. It seemed those same clouds were headed toward the fair. "Should we go?" asked Talese, "It costs, like, 8 bucks." "Excuse me," a little lady shouted from her car window while waiting for us at the crosswalk, "are you going to the fair?" "Why yes, we are", replied Greg. "Here, take these" she added as she fished out two complimentary tickets to the Utah State Fair from her wallet. What an angel.

Talese got to see baby animals, some of her favorite things in the whole world, and also see how adult animals get inspired to make those baby animals--animal print lingerie:That's hot.

And who could forget the Salt Lake County Fair? Certainly not anyone that is a fan of a good old Demolition Derby! Thanks to my friend Ryan who organized that gathering. Coincidentally, this fair was also serenaded by claps of thunder and flashes of lightning, yet no rain. We enjoyed the cooler weather, the 'no guts, no glory' attitude of the drivers, and the snowcones.
