Fair Fun

Last weekend, Aunt Kt and Cousin Ace made a special visit so we could take the boys to the fair and to the Pumpkin Patch. Aunt Kt had gone shopping and found some great matching outfits for the boys. We met them at Gramma K's house and got a few pre-fair pictures.

Of course, they are both at a pretty squirmy age (Ian much more so than Ace!). So getting them both to look at the camera can be quite challenging. (We think they're pretty handsome nonetheless.)

Ha! Success! Ace has the cutest smile!

Ace is a fantastic big cousin and is always coming up with ways to entertain his little cuz.

Apparently Ian wasn't growing fast enough and needed to be watered.

Cousins on the run!

Ace, being the sweetie he is, wanted to ride with his cuz and Uncle James. Poor kid - he ended up with me instead 'cause Uncle James rode with Aunt Kt. We still managed to have fun being silly, although most of the ride consisted of Ace saying, "Uncle James, c'mon. Mom, c'mon! Let's go!"

Big, big tractor!

And a very tall giraffe!

I didn't get a picture quickly enough, but Mr. Giraffe scanned the crowd and decided Aunt Kt had the best looking cup of food. He stopped and grazed out of her cup for a bit!

Lil Momma and her sweetie feeding goats!

Mmmm...dried food pellets.

Daddy showing Ian how harmless the goats are.

Two little llamas! Fortunately, only one spits.

Cousin time with the llama!

For some reason, Ian thought the ostrich was hilarious!

This little one month old donkey had TONS of energy. He has galloping in circles...kind of like another toddler we know.

Ha! I need the sign in red letters for Ian's room. It says, "Careful! I can bite. I have top AND bottom teeth."

Gramma K brought mini oreos for the boys. Let's just say Ian has a new favorite cookie!

After the petting zoo, we went and stood in line for the ferris wheel. It was definitely Texas-sized!

Aww...sweet sibling pix on the ferris wheel.

And a family pic.

Ferris wheel smooches.

Whew! From the top, we could really see how crowded it was!

I'm sure she's gonna kill me for posting this, but I love this goofy picture of Aunt Kt!

The ferris wheel was definitely a fun adventure for the boys!

Mmmm...fair ice cream!

Push-pops for the boys (and Aunt Laura...haha).

Believe it or not, we didn't get ANY fried foods. Nada. Zilch. Nothing! The lines were too long and who really needs fried butter, anyways? We did get some cotton candy though!

We had such a great time at the fair! We'll have to plan on going again next year!
