Fun, Food & Rides

It's Fair Time!

We couldn't help but spend Sat night out with family and friends at the Fair for some Fun, Food & Rides. I couldn't hardly wait to get my annual cheese on a stick and giant corn dog..to then finish the ride home with a funnel cake! Brooke started making the "vomit" face about half way through the Pirate Ship Ride...she's the top right hanging on for dear life as Cayla and Ashtyn can't get enough.

Surf's Up or should I say down...Blaine had so much fun this year because he was tall enough to ride most of the rides. These were just a few of his favorites!

Before I Eat

Brooke's Grasshopper Pie

Brooke's third grade teacher, Mrs. Brown, has extra books in her room she allows the kids to checkout - and Brooke came home with a cookbook. The teacher joked with her that she needed to bake her a pie and that is exactly what Brooke picked out to make. Today, she delivered a special piece to Mrs. Brown.
