Can you tell R is out of town? I have time on my hands (I know I post a lot anyway, but 3 times in one day???) We had a very fun day, so I have a lot to post about. As you can see from the previous fair post, we had good weather to go. We got there around 12:30 and looked at some exhibits since the rides didn't open until 1:00. After that, we bought wrist bands, and the kids went to it. They probably rode 20 rides making the wrist bands well worth the money. We came home, had some mac-n-cheese and headed downtown to the street performers with
Lynette and 2 of her 3 kids. Not many performers showed up, so we checked out the 2 that we saw, went to the candy store, bought out the store and headed to the bookstore to play (it started to rain). Lynette and I got to catch up talking and the kids had fun so it was a hit even though we didn't get to see the break dancers that the boys wanted to see. Tomorrow morning we will most likely hit the pool (I tried to email folks to join us, so please come!). We may hit Target after Sadie's nap because Nana sent the boys gift cards to do some back-to-school shopping. GO NANA!!!!! I am sure they will think toys and Pokemon cards qualify as back to school items, but I will make sure to steer them to clothes/school supplies! :-) Below are some pictures from our night downtown with Lynette.
Good ole Brooks- always comes through with his standard finger-up-the-nose pose. Way to impress Bailey! I was glad he was in as good as spirits as he was. His allergies are HORRIBLE and I thought for sure he was going to crash on the couch before we could even make it downtown. He got a second wind at some point. (Maybe a sugar rush from all the candy????)
Elliot and Sadie- You have to check out Lynette's blog and see the video of E crying. Sadie saw it and asked to watch it over and over and over. She kept saying, "Baby- sore tummy." She thought that is why he was screaming. She then proceeded to mimic him and then would climb back up in the chair and try to push buttons to get that video back on the computer. Of course, Elliott was as good as gold tonight!
The kids watching a folk-type band (the only performers we really took the time to seek out and listen to)
When it rained, we went into Treehouse Books and let the kids play. This is them with Puddles the bunny.
And here they are with a chinchilla (sp?) I can't remember his name- he was a rat-looking thing. They have a neat aquarium in there too, plus some toys and a bridge. The kids probably could have stayed there all night.
I'm sure I'll be back tomorrow to post again (and you doubted that???)! :-)

Never doubted for a minute you would be back! :) Your pics are great... I deleted that video on accident, but am trying to figure out how I got it up in the first place! I'm sure you love listening to my son scream for your daughter just as much as I enjoy listening to it! We can't make it this morning to the pool, I forgot I promised a friend I would watch her kids for a bit, if they leave early enough we may try to make it over there though! I'll call ya!
