Fulton County Fair!!!

In an annual tradition we trekked out to Waseon for the Fulton County Fair!  Very glad that our best buddies the Daniels were in town to share the fun!!
This was the year of the ride!  We got to the fair at 11 and walked through some of the barns...then it was time for cheese curds and we bought ride bracelets for the kids!  Unlimited rides for 5 hours!!!
The crazy bus!  Natalie remembered this from last year and was excited to revisit it!
Evie wanted to ride with the big kids but sometimes got on and wasn't sure.  This was a spinning strawberry that she rode with me, Corbin, and Matt.
After several rides, and 85 plus weather, we all needs a chocolate shake!
Evie was splitting one with me, but I don't remember drinking much of it!
Train time!  Nat and evie in the front and Parker and Corbin two cars back.
Love that this car has two steering wheels!
Clown ride!
Evie also was happy/unsure with this ride.  Of course it was hot, later in the day, and she had walked the whole time!
Evie and Corbin looking good on their motorcycle....
Jen and Amy snuck away for one adult ride too!
This slide had serious air!  Natalie declared no more after the first run.
Corbin wanted another run, but Amy's tailbone couldn't take it!
Matt and Parker cruising in the bumper cars!
Last ride!  Nat rode the dragon roller coaster three times!  And even got her arms up!
The traditional cow picture before heading out....
We got lucky and saw the Clydesdales on the way out!  What a fun day!! Dont know how, but the kids made it through dinner and played in the pool too.  So much fun!

Dad's Away so the Girls Play!!

Aaron left Wednesday night for his crazy trip to Seattle!  Back after he drives home with our Pilot....hopefully Tuesday night.
Girl movie time- Cinderella!
After lots of digging around in the basement (and bike riding) we managed to organize lots of kids clothes.
After lots of chalk drawing they were apparently tired out!  Nat has shut herself in with the towels!
It's official, signed over and paid for :)
The transfer....
....of everything I ever left at my parent's house!
What started as a little art project....
Turned into hello kitty bootie....
And lots of masterpieces!
Lunch on the patio, good for spaghetti!
Nat and evie enjoying hoggy with the seats up!
Just an example of one of the many marker drawings Nat made today.  We bought a new marker set at Meijer today, I think it will get plenty of use!
