Great Weekend!


It seems like it has been forever since we have had any "quality" family time. Travis was gone, then I was gone and then he was gone and gone and gone. This weekend we have actually gotten to spend time together.
My morning yesterday started with some disappointment, we tried to get tickets to see Rascal Flatts but we were getting awful seats. The best we had were section 107 which wouldn't have been horrible seats but still not where we wanted to be for that price. Last year tickets were about $25 cheaper and we were right on the floor. We gave those up and then we were getting section 300's, NO WAY! We were not paying $70 to hang from the ceiling. It would have been fun but that's ok. Maybe we will try again next year and get good seats then. I will just have to settle for listening to my 4 CD's. Just think it saved me $70+.
After that whole drama, I decided that we needed to get out of the house, at first I was thinking the zoo but then remembered that the county fair was going on. We all got ready and headed out.http://share.shutterfly.com/action/welcome?sid=8AcuWTNo2bNGeg The girls had so much fun. They have a kids farm, where they went to different stations and did things that are done on a farm. One was feed the chickens, plant a seed, milk a cow ect. At each station you got something to "sell" at the farmers market. An egg from the chicken, veggies from the garden, a pint of milk from the cow, ect. Then they took the stuff to the farmers market where they got "money" and got to go buy an ice cream with it. They loved doing it and were very pleasantly surprised that they got ice cream at the end! Then we went to the little petting zoo, where Kaylee spent 10 minutes laughing at the "funny sheep!" She also finally says horse without me telling her too, before it was a "neigh" now it is a "harse" LOL I love it when little kids learn to talk!

We ended the trip with some rides, Mykenzie loved them until she went on the spider thing with Travis. That one she did not care for! I was too afraid Kaylee would freak out so she only rode the merry go round and she rode the cars with Mykenzie. We came home and had dinner and dessert and relaxed. The girls rough housed with Travis for a little while and then it was bed time.
Today we spent the morning outside, the kids played while we did some yard work. My flowerbeds were horribly overgrown with weeds. It has been way to hot to mess with them! Today it is overcast and quite nice out there. Now Travis and Kaylee are taking a nap, then I am sure we will head back outside for a little swingset time. Then it is dinner, baths, bed for the kids and Grey's Anatomy for me! I love that show!
