State Fair

We had a great weekend! On Saturday we went up to the state fair with our friends, the Wilkinson's. We had a fun time watching a magic show (where Neil was a star performer!!!), eating fair food (gotta love hot dogs that cost $6) and taking Bridger and Tommy on some very clean and safe (yeah right...) carnival rides. :) No, j/k we really did have a blast!


Bridger and Tommy always have fun playing together--and since their play group ended over the summer--I think they have been going through withdrawels (well, at least Bridger has--he talks about Tommy all the time!)
The cute little sisters fell asleep--Faith looks a little more comfortable than Kennedy!

So for some reason, the blog won't let me write next to the pictures--I hate that!!! Anyway, the picture just on top is of Bridger plugging his ears and drinking lemonade at the same time--we were watching a 'chainsaw' artist--apparently it was a little too loud for him! Bridger loved going on the little train ride, although I think it bored Tommy a bit :). The next ride they went on was the race car--it looked fun and Bridger was so excited to get in. However, his excitement didn't last long--the cars go slow until they wip (at lightening fast speed) around the corner of the track...well, good old serious Bridger almost had a heart attack. He was screaming, crying and reaching out for me everytime the car passed me--it was so sad (and kinda funny...) I felt awful! He had a horrible time--Tommy was sitting right next to him in the car--he had the time of his life (along with every other kid there that day...) but Bridger hated every second. I think I've pretty much abused his trust when it comes to this kind of thing--I'll be lucky if he makes it to the Magic Kingdom by the time he's 30...


Oh well, it was nothing a cookie with pink frosting and sprinkles couldn't fix (great parenting, I know...) :) We just wish we could have stayed longer!

It was Jeremy's dad's 60th birthday party that night and we had a great time celebrating with them! We always have the best birthday dinners--here is a pic of him with all the grandkids--so cute!!!
