State Fair

Yesterday we decided to take Noah to the Eastern Idaho State Fair. My family has been going to the Fair since before I can even remember. It had been about 7 years since I had been myself, and not one thing has changed - aside from the fact that they had a frozen yogurt stand this year (yes, I was very excited). I am not a lover of Fair food, but I do love walking through the booths and looking at all the crafts. My mom even submitted a quilt this year and won a ribbon. She is so talented!

Anyway, here are a couple of pictures from Noah's first time at the Fair. I would have taken more, but when we got there and I got my camera out to start clicking away...I realized that I had left my SD card at home! Ugh. We ended up making a quick trip to Walgreen's to grab one. I hate it when that happens! (Please excuse our greasiness in advance, it was a humid day...or at least that's what I am using as my excuse!)



I had to humor myself and get a caricature drawn of Noah. I don't think it looks like him, but we thought we would send it to Andy...just for fun!


Chex Mix of Champions

This recipe has been passed down from my Grandma Oakey and is a snacking favorite. I made some today to send to Andy in a package and thought I would share the recipe! Enjoy!

1/2 (18oz) Box of Golden Grahams
1/2 box of Corn or Rice Chex (or 1/4 box of each)
2 cups shaved coconut
Small package of sliced almonds

Mix:
1 cup white corn syrup
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup butter or margarine

Bring to a boil and boil for 2 minutes. Pour over cereal mixture and stir until covered. Let cool and enjoy- I know I will!
