Evergreen State Fair



So this past weekend we decided to venture out to the Evergreen State Fair in Monroe. We arrived at the fair grounds around 1:00. The kids could see the rides from the parking lot, and so it began. Excitement was in the air. We took a quick ride to the fair gate and headed in.


The kids could barley contain themselves, staring at all the rides they wanted to go on, while daddy went to get the tickets. We did some wandering around as well, which was apparently "really hard" for Tyler. I think it was just excitement and anticipation of what would be around the next corner.





We couldn't have asked for better weather, it was slightly cloudy with lots of sunbreaks and 70 degree weather.







All in all it was a good way to spend our entire afternoon. The kids will hopefully remember it for a while, I know we will.

Hot Fun In The Summertime



Weeks like this past one seem only like a dream once the weather begins to cool down. So of course I have to document them in some way or another. We got to enjoy 90+ degree weather which seems to truly come only once a year. And so, with warm weather comes friends and family to help us enjoy it all the more.

We were lucky to have our families join us for the weekend and here are some of the highlights.

Papa put a parachute onto the infamous water bottle rocket and boy oh boy did we have fun with it!






We got to do some playing in the water too. You wouldn't believe how warm the lake water is until you jump in!






And believe me we ALL jumped in!






Here's to hoping the rest of the summer is just as much fun, if not more. We Loved seeing everyone!
