This past weekend!

I know it is almost time for a new weekend and I am just talking about our last weekend! Better late than never I guess.

So this past weekend we had a lot of fun. On Saturday we went to the Arapahoe County Fair. We went with Aunt Britt, Britt and Uncle Travis and Jessica. We had a lot of fun. Mikayla and Billy were the only ones who could go in the fun house because the rest of us wore open toed shoes. I know, I know who wears flip flops to the fair? They had a great time- then we went on the carousel and only Seth wanted to sit on a horse and that only lasted for a second. Then Mikayla found the games and she wanted to play, so we found the ones that no matter what you won a prize. First she played the fishing game (my favorite from when I was little, I remember going to Elitches and playing that game, I think I would play it over and over if I could. No skill involved= me having a great time) She won a purple and green turtle. Next she played the hunting for ducks game. All she had to do was pick a duck up and see what color she got. That time she won a blue blow up soccer ball. They both were her favorite! Seth got a cute little ducky just for being cute:) Next we went into the house of Mirrors. It was fun Mikayla was leading the way and ran right into a clear panel- we all laughed and she was OK. The we went and looked at the animals. First the petting zoo and then we went inside to see the show animals. This was Mikayla's favorite when it was time for the animals to go to sleep she cried and only said "I need my Animals" Then we went and listened to some music and the kids ran around like crazy Monkey's- well Seth crawled- but still had fun. The fireworks got canceled because of High Fire Danger, but we still had a great time.

And then on Sunday we went to the Colorado Dragon Boat Festival. I did not take any pictures it was too hot and the kids were kind of cranky. We went with Uncle Brandon, Uncle Travis, Jessica, Aunt Britt, and Cody. Travis did take pictures and I should get them soon and I will put them up. It was fun to be immersed in the Asian culture. Mikayla got an umbrella and Brandon and Billy got funny Chinese hats. The actual races were few and far between. They were fun when they were happening but they went fast and then took along time to get another one started. It was fun but way to HOT! But it was the end of July what could I expect! All in all it was a great weekend! And this next weekend we have a wedding to go to for our good friends Shannon and Dustin! We can't wait!- maybe this time we will get a good family picture!
