State Fair...times two!

This past week we made two trips to the State Fair...one with my family and one with our bible study. During our first trip we hit pretty much all of the animal barns and of course ate just a little bit. Maryn loved seeing the animals, especially the cows. It was a fun day! Our second trip was a little trickier traveling with a large group, but we loved having Jeremy with us. We managed to eat just a little bit more and enjoy time hanging out with friends from group. I think we have all consumed enough corn dogs, lemon shake-ups, corn on the cob, milkshakes, grilled cheese and elephant ears to last us till next year!

A trip to the fair wouldn't be complete without a grilled cheese from the Dairy Bar...yummy!

up on Grandpa's shoulders to see the pig race

Maryn's conversation with the piglet..."Hi pig! I Maryn. What your name?"

Last stop...the Midway! No rides for us, but Maryn loved watching some of the girls from group ride the ferris wheel.

Lakin' with the BU crew :)

The last weekend of July our friends the Burnett's invited us down to their family lake house for the weekend. It was a great time, yet maybe just a little chaotic at moments...I guess seven kids 4 years old and under will create some chaos!!

the kiddos :)

gotta have a group photo...especially one with no tears :)

Maryn's first time to roast her own marshmallows!

one bite of smores was all she needed...good thing I had the camera!
