We have had such a fun and busy week. I feel like I haven't been home at all in the last 3 days and Aaron's parents are coming to visit on Tuesday and I have done nothing, nothing, to prepare for their visit. But it was worth it to see my kids having so much fun this week.
We started off with the pet and doll parade on Thursday. Sullivan and Eleanor rode in the wagon and Penelope walked. I got Sullivan's little firefighter jacket at a garage sale that very same day. It worked perfectly with our firefighter hat.
Eleanor didn't really care what she wore as long as it sparkled and was pretty.
Penelope was a fairy princess who forgot her wings in the car. :)
On Thursday and Friday we went to the fair. Thursday we looked at all of the exhibits and animals and Friday we did rides. It was so hot that we brought spray bottles to keep the kids cool. We went with our good friends, the Young family, and so here is Sullivan with Silas. Spraying each other of course.
There was a little play area for small children that had musical instruments, bowling, soccer, drawing, ball pit, etc. I think we went back to this spot 3 times.
Oh yes, snow cones were also a great way to stay cool. And as an added bonus they were so yummy!
Penelope couldn't get enough of riding rides. She and her friend, Kael, could have kept going all night long. Their favorite ride was the Tilt a Whirl.
Eleanor and Kael.
Sullivan LOVED this ride. I took him off of the ride and he just cried and cried so the girl who was running the ride let him back on and he rode it 4 more times in succession before he was willing to get off. I think it must have been the steering wheel that he loved so much.
Saturday morning was the Fun Run. Penelope and I did the 1 mile in 7 minutes, 20 seconds. I am always amazed at Penelope's running. She just kept a nice, steady pace the whole time and didn't stop once. She and I both won in our age categories. I tried to get Eleanor to run but she just wouldn't. Her reason? She wanted to wear her pretty shoes. :)
Penelope won sunglasses, a sports bag and a water bottle.

Sullivan enjoying the apples that they had at the race.
After the run, we went to the parade. The kids had a great time seeing all of the participants but by far their favorite thing is the candy.
Aaron actually got to go with us to the parade. Here he is being his normal goofy self, carrying the chairs back to the car.

Fun! Fun! So glad we were able to enjoy a lot of the fair activities with you! It wouldn't have been nearly as fun alone.
