Benton County Fair

We took the kids to the Benton County Fair on Wednesday.  Jake had not been since high school because of always away for baseball.  We wanted to check it out.  I wasn’t too impressed (partially because I grew up going to the South Florida Fair).  We had a good time anyway!

Gwynn sleepover

The girls have been asking for quite awhile when we can have another sleepover.  The timing finally worked out! 

The girls had a great time but poor Ben kept getting kicked out.  Get used to it buddy!

After lots of playing and dinner, it was movie time  IMG_2689 IMG_2692 IMG_2693 Of course there had to be princess dress upIMG_2694 IMG_2695Time for bed…. IMG_2696 IMG_2697IMG_2699 IMG_2700IMG_2701They were up talking and giggling pretty late. 

Summer Festival: Day 2

I ran Nanny up to the airport Sunday.  We had a great visit and were sad to see her go.  After naps, we headed out to the Summer Festival for $5 rides.  We had a great time with the cousins!

I apologize for the quality of these.  A larger lady decided to sit right in front of these three cuties which then involved lots of cropping.  Note to self: put the little kids in front next time when taking pictures.

Summer Festival: Day 1

We headed out to the Summer Festival on Saturday.  We all had a great time :)  Wasn’t so sure about how Ben would react on the roller coaster.  After the first turn and dip, he let out the biggest evil belly laugh that I will never forget.  He is a roller coaster junkie!
