State Fair

We had a great time at the State Fair--or Faird as Kirby calls it--on Saturday. It was really crowded and Kirby had such a serious look on his face the entire time we were there. He tends to be like that when there is so much going on, so it's hard to be sure he's enjoying himself. The best way to know is that all the way home, the whole evening after his nap and the next day he kept talking about all the things he saw. It's fun to hear the highlights from a two year old. Here are some pictures--relevant just for Lora who is in Hawaii and could care less at this moment, *sigh* who could blame her. :)

Grommy took Kirby on a Kiddie Trucker Ride

Yea, trucks!

George is much bigger than I thought.

I'm THRILLED to take a pictures with George!

Mmmm, blue cotton candy!

Bennett did so great in the back pack. We hardly heard a peep from him. By about 12:30 he was so sleepy but refused to go to sleep because he was so busy watching everything.

Mmmm, yellow cotton candy!

He didn't really want to pose, just run around and explore the State Trooper helicoptor and motorcycle.

Poppy and Kirby--eating even more cotton candy. :)


We also had lunch and saw animal and art exhibits but I don't have pictures of that. :)


Also it's only 4 days until the Triathlon. I'm pretty nervous but probably as ready as I can be. So Friday afternoon we are headed to Emerald Isle for the race. After the race we are rushing down to Sunset for my brother's wedding. That's right Uncle J is getting married! It's been sort of fast--we weren't sure of the date until a couple of weeks before. We will miss the actual wedding on the beach but will make it in time to celebrate with the family for dinner. I can't wait to meet my new sister-in-law. :)
