Sunday, August 12, 2012

On Saturday we headed to our first tn county fair and we had a blast! It wasn't too hot, and by that I mean only around 92 degrees :) We went with our friend Lena, Bella, and Sophie. The girls loved all the animals and Liv and Maddie had no fear when it came to petting goats, sheep's and pigs. I was a little worried putting Maddie in the pen with the goats and sheep, however she went right over ans started petting and trying to climb on top of the poor baby goat and sheep. Olivia loved riding the pony and we decided that she will have to start horse lessons since she is such a natural! The kids all ate about 2 tons of cotton candy and 3 gallons of water due to the heat. Maddie was awake until about 1 and took a nice long nap in the stroller and on the way home. They had a Home Depot station which the kids made little tool box's with the help of their staff. They also watched a magic show and sang along with a pretend elephant ( which they did the chicken dance too!?!) Liv loved all the kidding rides, and Maddie next year will be old enough to ride them so that will be fun... It was a great day spent at the fair and a success when all the kids fell asleep on the ride home:)

Pool Day!

With another extremly hot day we spent most of the time inside, however after naps we decided to blow up the kiddie pool and head out on the deck. We had some popsicles as snacks, which Maddie still has a hard time not sharing with the dogs (yuck!). Liv is practicing going under water while Maddie dunks under and comes up smiling no problem! I have to constantly watch the girls in the water becuase Maddie slips easily and Im always worried about her choking on water:( Overall the girls love water and I think we all miss the ocean!!

Maddie all smiles in the water

Look at those skinny thighs!!!

Olivia not happy to having her picture taken

Fire station fun!

Since school is starting very soon we decided to meet up with our playgroup for an outing to tour the local fire station. Olivia was very excited and loves her fire hat that we got last year! It was actually a great tour, we not only learned all about the fire station and firemen, but they also talked to us about what to do in case of a fire, having a safety spot, and not to be afraid if you see a fireman since they are there to help!
