So despite a rainy forecast for the weekend I gathered Fancy, Stitches and Grouchy and headed out for some fair fun. It was a blast! Every year we go with Colleen and her kiddos and have a great great time. This year was the same, love it!
We saw cute baby ducks with mohawks, ginormous Clydesdales, pigs and cows and goats. We saw lots of lovely quilts and yummy cakes and fabulous displays of all kinds. Colleen won a first place for her canned chicken! and Chelsea and Ellie both got ribbons for their entries as well.
Hannah and Chelsea ventured off on their own, we saw them from time to time and they also hung out with other girls they would see from church or school. Part of the fun is seeing so many friends and neighbors.
The kids rode a lot of rides. Ethan's favorite was the scrambler, Lu liked it as well and she also liked the ferris wheel and the everything else she rode. She is a wild ride riding girl!
We did get rained on, a lot, but it didn't dampen any one's spirits and after 6 hours of fair fun when I said it was time to go the girls still weren't ready to leave. E was. We came home wet and tired and now everyone is getting warmed up and cleaned up.
Tonight R and I are going to the temple and sweet Colleen is keeping the kids. Fortunately they are good and worn out so they will probably be happy to watch movies all night.
What could be better than no school and a day out seeing friends and riding rides--I'm sure a little rain wasn't anything to even think about ; )
