Uintah County Fair {UCF}

we spent some time at the annual {ucf} again this year and did the rounds. first stop of course is the candy drop {sorry no pictures- i hope you understand}the fire department and the library team up to do this for the kids. they get the hook and ladder truck extend the ladder all the way out and drop -full size- candy bars for the little kids. then for the older kids they rope off an area {no parents allowed- too many elbows being thrown, imagine that!} and have a helicopter come and drop candy from above. my kids are picky so we don't ever end up with too much- thank goodness!!! next stop is the firefighter challenge basically where the kiddos get to spray the hose and set a wooden fire picture spinning and to see how fast they can get it spinning. kesslynn was a little afraid, but after watching kairi decided that she could give it a try. they each earned a fire fighter hat out of the deal. last stop is the little red barn. it is something that the 4-h put together a few years ago and it has grown and grown. kids love it and mine are no exception. it takes you through planting, harvesting, picking, feeding, milking until you get the stuff {fruit, vegetable, eggs, milk, etc} and take it to the grocer and get paid. the girls love it and can't wait every year to go through it!!!! it reallly is a lot of fun!!!! we did manage to avoid the over priced carnival {hurray!!!} to top it all off...
