State Fair

We went to the State Fair yesterday. We had a nice time there. Very nice to be able to park at Eric's aunt's place and just walk over and not worry about parking.  Thanks C & C!

First thing, we did in there was to let the kids go around sitting and climbing on all the tractors. They each really enjoyed that - I really forgot how much I liked that as a kid but do also remember my time climbing on the tractors and thinking it was pretty darn cool.Sur

Second thing was to get a coupon book and then start our way getting some food. We got some french fries and then some carmeled apples. Kaylee at the end of the day said they were her favorite food we had there.  Then we went on a gondola ride through to take in the State Fair in bird's eye fashion. The kids loved this and had fun identifying where they thought would be fun to go. Then we walked through the Midway! Got Hawaiian shave ice and then to the Agriculture building/pond. We went to get some mini donut beer flavor (spelling) brew and some jalepeno poppers (yum that was a first for me - Kaylee liked them too). It was really good and then a watermelon bowl.

Finally we went to the kid area and the kids each got three rides. Kaylee did the giant slide then they each did car rides and the turning teacup type of ride. Then we had to do naptime and planned on coming back in the evening but we weren't able to because of the ssevere weather warnings - we were going to bring the kids back for fireworks. Oh well. we had a great time. It is so easy to spend money FAST there! Wow!

I did not remember a camera or anything during the day - so sorry for that!

Last night Levi went poop in the potty. Yay! Eric took him for a special trip to Target to pick out a matchbox car. We got a few as rewards for that. We really want to encourage that! When he pees he gets a jellybean (when we/he remembers  - intermittent reinforcement is the best kind right?).  Hopefully his potty training is right around the corner!

Today we have a birthday party for my Grandma's 87th (?) birthday. so glad she's doing so well and she's pretty independent! She's in good spirits and gets around well - feel blessed about that. Can't wait to celebrate with her!
