Festivals and Fairs

So we've been able to do a couple fun things these last few weeks. There was an annual kids music and arts festival in the park for free here which Emrie loved! You could pay $3 for a wristband for them to have unlimited train rides and bounce house time, which we did. Here's daddy and Emrie on the train.
Molly was such a good sport for us. We were there for like 3 or so hours and she was happy the whole time...of course it helps that it was a nice day with a cool breeze and Lots of shade.

Emrie loved the bounce houses. What kid doesn't.


They had face painting, streamers and hoola hoops, toy instruments they could play, puppet making, painting, and balloon animals. Emrie had so much fun.

We also celebrated Chad's 27th birthday! He's getting up there :D He'd requested Chocolate Molten Cake (like at chilis) so I made little individual ones and they turned out very yummy!

And I forgot to post, but we also celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary! Can't believe we've been married for 5 years!

Labor day weekend we had the county fair, and I have to say county fairs are way better than state fairs. We saw all the animals:




Molly playing with her feet (she's been trying so hard to roll over the past couple days).


Bounce house slide. Man, emrie would come zooming down this thing. The second time she came down she goes "Wow!! That's FUN!" ha ha


And the carnival. We decided to go on a ride each, so we took turns watching the kids and went on the ship ride and then took Emrie on a ride.



It was a lot of fun. They had the Kent Family Circus that performed in the middle of the fair grounds and a variety show later that night that performed. Can't wait for next year.
