Grange Fun!

Today we went to the Grange Fair in Council Rock area...

We were planning on going after naps, but after looking at the weather Bob prefaced me with, "You aren't going to like this..." and showed me the weather map and hourly description. Needless to say, we headed out to the Grange Fair at 1 pm instead of 5 pm.

We had a nice time at the fair. We met up with Grandmom and Granddad, and ate the chicken supper with them. The kiddos got to go on some rides and check out lots of animals.

If you zoom in on this picture (by clicking picture)
I love Morgan's expression!



Look at Morgan's little attitude
(hands on hips, foot out!)



It was a fun time... we were attempting to watch a "Mutts on Show" demonstration when the skies got dark and thunder was heard. We had to take two (VERY) upset little kiddos to the car and had to stop watching the cute dog show. Five minutes after we got into the car the skies opened up and it poured... cats and dogs... buckets... whatever you want to call it... enough to start flooding the roads!


JEEP!


MOWER!


Oh... and don't forget the rides!!
Morgan ALMOST didn't go on this ride... the nice operator put RJ on and he rode for a second or two and then Morgan changed her mind and he stopped the ride to let her on! Thank you for your patience ride operator!


ONLY RJ attempted this ride... (AND liked it!) Morgan hid her face and said 'NO'!

These last pictures were for a moon bounce type activity. The kiddos got into harnesses and then just had to jump on the air filled trampoline. I helped RJ bounce... he LOVED it and smiled and laughed the whole time. Morgan was scared to try it, and when she finally tried it she didn't love it like RJ did... she did not like when I 'helped' her bounce... she only wanted to do little bounces by herself! (No fun!) When I helped RJ bounce he flew up into the air like crazy and loved it!!

Bob and the Tall Man!


After the Grange Fair (ending abruptly) we headed to Goodnoe's Ice cream and ran out in the downpour into the store to get our delicious homemade ice cream cones. Yum!

Then home with full bellies. tired bodies!

Although he had a couple meltdowns, overall both Morgan and RJ behaved pretty well for getting no naps! Another fun time at the Grange fair!
