State Fair

Every year we go to the fair on opening day. We do this for two reason 1) opening day is cheaper 2) the rodeo-we like watching the sky divers with their flags. We met my family there and until everyone else showed up my boys were so well-behaved. What is it about adding extra children that makes them go bonkers? As soon as Coen showed up they were all over the place and would not listen to a word we said. So frustrating. I love my boys but wow, they were driving us nuts! We went through the little farm, went down the giant slide-we have to do the giant slide every year! We ate hot dogs, watched the first half of the rodeo, bought over-price, yet delicious Velo Chicken, various desserts including a fried Twinkie, John bought me a chair massage (lovely!) and we bought a toy I've been searching for, for Landon's birthday. All in all, it was a good time as always. To me the fair marks the beginning of fall-my favorite season.

He dropped the "too cool" attitude for awhile and had so much fun.

C.

Look at his cute round basketball head. Love round headed kids.

Now THIS looks like Landon. He's not making a goofy face, not trying too hard to give me a cute smile. This is my boy.

Cousins.

Landon beat everyone down the slide. He was FLYING!

Carson. He's done the slide every year since he was a baby and he looks forward to it.
