Weekend Recap - Fair!

It was so nice having Papa Vaughn home and not having to have a drill weekend right when he got home! Although we did have some set obligations for the weekend, I had a birthday party to photograph Friday night and a wedding to attend Saturday night, it was nice to just do whatever we wanted together. So, Saturday we decided to go to the fair! Sunday was spent looking for Halloween costumes, having lunch and then going home to work around the house and just be together!

While getting ready for the fair and gathering up our stuff I somehow left my brain at home. We left the house, picked up our friends Darren & Carolyn, sat in the long line of cars to park and finally got into the fair around 11:30 am. Of course I planned to take LOTS of pictures of the kids with the animals, food, exhibits, and just playing. My brain however, that had been left at home, well it was apparently home looking for my extra camera battery that was plugged in to the charger. So needless to say, enjoy the few following pictures I managed to get before my other battery ran out of power and the few I managed to get with my cell phone camera.

The kids had so much fun at the fair that they didn't slow down once the whole time we were there. We went from 11:30 to 3:00 bypassing Boopy's nap with the hope that she'd make it through the sights and excitement without too much trouble. Instead of being tired, the only trouble she caused was being extremely hyper! Both Big Boy and Boopy were wired! Boopy wiggled every time we past music, waving at people and expressing "wows" of excitement. The animals brought out conversations in cow and duck and and even a few pirate "Argh's" from the pirate decorations dispersed throughout the barns. Perhaps their being hyper could be blamed on the giant ice cream cone that Papa indulged them in or perhaps it was the joy of making their own colored sand glass bottle souvenir. There's always the possibility that Big Boy was just too excited about seeing himself in the photo displays or Boopy finding out that Mama's scrapbook page all about her won 1st place? Regardless, they had a wonderful time hanging out with Mama and loved that Papa was there too!
