Lawrence County Fair 2012

Every year we attend the Lawrence County Fair with Grandma Cindy and Papa Keith, always on Thursday - truck and tractor pull night. This year Amy and I went about an hour and a half earlier than everyone else so the kids could spend more time on rides. It was a good choice by us! No lines and the kids LOVED it!

Logan's new hat from Aunti Jecca and Uncle Chris :)

I think it's funny that they see cows all the time at Papa Tom's and Grandma Barb's....but they still love to see them at the fair. 

Hugging the 4H bear

They played a game and each won a pony.

Birthday Surprises continue...

Today the girls received a birthday surprise delivery from Aunti Bobbi and Uncle Ben in Alaska.

Yummy, Cheryl & Co. Cookies! 

Everyone had to try some :)

Friday afternoon (as we pulled out for Idlewild) a box also arrived from their great Aunti Brenda and Uncle Dude (Randy) FULL of hair clips, head bands and purses. 

(Thanks Bailey for the donated hand me downs). 

The girls were sporting a few new hair clips today :)

Idlewild 2012

We just got back from Idlewild Amusement Park in Pennsylvania! Tom and Barb took us -  along with Amy, Brad and Dominic - for 2 nights/2 days at the park. They have a good arrangement of little kid/adult rides, some shows (Thomas the Train), a train ride, Mr. Roger's trolley ride (the kids loved it - we need to find old Mr. Roger shows now!), and a water park.  There is a walk through Storybook Village with a bunch of nursery rhyme characters.  Also, there is a kids dream play land - a HUGE ball pit, potato sack slide and climbing ropes.

Did you know that I HATE Merry Go Rounds. They make me sick - like carsick sick! YUCK! But, Hailey wanted to ride, and I LOVE her. :)

Hailey really wanted this glitter tattoo.  :) 

K chose to get a drawing done.

It was a fun weekend that just kept giving - Kaelin slept till 9:30 this morning! If you know her, that is a miracle.  I actually checked on her at 9 am to make sure she was ok!
