My parents, sister and her boys came to town for a long overdo visit and we had a busy weekend planned. It's fun to plan special things while they are here and create special memories. Olivia always looks forward to seeing them and I am sure Ford will too one day.
First thing we had planned was camping. Yes, I said camping. We camped Friday night at a park close by so Hays, Pops and Ford could go back to the house for sleeping. We had hot dogs on the grill and s'mores for dessert. A good time was had by all.
Our next adventure was the state fair on Saturday afternoon. We had a great time eating our way through the aisles and ending the night with some fun rides for the kiddos. It's always wise to leave the fair by sundown and that's exactly what we did.
This girl loves a good carousel ride. She always looks for the giraffe so we had to do some explaining why this one only had horses. She was thrilled either way and opted to ride once with her daddy and a second time with her Nano.
Pops toting around the chunkster. We had to take turns holding the little (or should I say BIG) stinker because he has gotten so darn heavy.
The last thing scheduled for their trip was church and celebrating Dalton's second birthday.
He seemed to really like his birthday cake or at least the icing, that seemed to be the part he enjoyed the most. Happy Birthday, Dalton!!
This is the best picture we got of all four kids. Everybody is looking up, nobody is crying and 3 out of 4 are smiling. These are the days that you are very thankful for the small things.:)
