Ness and Ben: A fair day!

A fair day!

I met Ben at South Ogden Days after I got off work. Here is what I missed.

Jayben got his face painted. I'm told he sat still the entire 5 minutes it took for her to paint his face! He wanted to be the "Spantacular Spiderman!"

The kids going on the ghetto rides. I mean, how safe can they be? They put them up the day of the fair. But I guess it just adds more thrill to the ride.

By the time I got there. Everybody was DONE! It was super crowded, super hot and they had already been on all the rides. The main event was a concert with Josh Gracin a guy who competed on American Idol 6 seasons ago. He didn't win but apparently, he still got a record deal. All you have to say is American Idol and people show up. It was ridiculously crowded. So, I was there long enough to get a snow cone. Jayben got cotton candy and poor Ben only got a parking ticket. :(
