After a not-so-quick stop at the restrooms, we headed out to the park...and then headed straight to the train ride. Ricky took good care of Danny. I was surprised that Danny actually held his big cousin's hand for as long as he did.
The boys each got their hands stamped and were given a little ticket. As we waited for our turn to board, I told them to show me their tickets and say cheese. Billy's trying to show me his stamped hand and nobody said cheese. Cute enough.
I have no idea why Danny was grouchy when it was time to ride. Go figure.


We headed over to the rodeo arena and got front row seats for the dog races. Danny thoroughly enjoyed watching the tractor rake the dirt in preparation for the big event.
I didn't take any pictures of the dogs. I did get a good shot of Danny's reaction to the racing though. He loved it. You can check out a little story about it here. (The lovely lady in the picture with the two humongous dogs is Aunt Cindy.)
After the races, we got a bite to eat. Hamburgers, a hot dog and some pink "hair candy." That's what Danny called his cotton candy. Pretty clever if you ask me. It is kind of hairy looking when you pull it apart.
We enjoyed the rest of the day at Aunt Cindy's house. As we were playing, chatting and eating we heard many sirens going past. Later, we learned that there had been an accident at the Tomato Days festivities. You can read about it here. I'm glad we weren't there when it happened.
It was a fun day. Good food. Good company. Good grief! We might just have to come again next year.

That's a great picture of Danny watching the dog races. It was really fun!
Tomato Day Burgers can't compete with Lehi's Round-Up Rodeo Burgers. Lehians make mean burgers. They're finger-lickin' good. Cathy will attest.
Kay Sampson will attest as well!
