Summer Outings

We made it to the VERY last day of the fair this year!!! It was lots of fun!! The girls road some kiddie rides, saw, feed, and petted animals, and ate fair food!!

I braved the BIG slide with both girls...........it was a hike up all those stairs too and again Julia shocked us and went down it without a fight......but not without a push to get her started on her burlap sack.........
Here we are coming down....... (if you click on any of the pics they should become bigger and you can see us better especially on this slide picture from far away)

Feeding the goats.......we also saw a white curly haired baby camel, baby miniature horse, goats, deer, and a zebra......

These HUGE pumpkins were on display.....

Julia and Daddy rode the Ferris wheel (it surprised us all that Julia even got on this thing)

Riding in the bus headed to the Irish Festival......


Maggie did LOTS of sliding and bouncing.......

Julia and Daddy waited in a LONG line so she could try this trampoline bouncing attraction.......

We still have a few days left of summer next week and I hope to get some pics of the girls at the pool. Both girls have come a LONG way since the beginning of the summer as far as the water is concerned. Julia is swimming underwater, wearing goggles, doggie paddling, jumping off the side and just loving the water. She almost always makes a friend at the pool every time we go. Yesterday 3 different girls came up to her that she had played with at some point this summer and asked her to play.......(there are a few boys in the mix too). I am so glad that we decided to join the pool it has been a great summer. Maggie has gotten alot better in the water too. She is going under some on her own. She calls it swimming. She kicks, blows bubbles, ect... I can just tell she is alot more comfortable in the water then she was at the beginning of the summer.

We will be enjoying our last weekend of summer before school starts..........

Enjoy....
