The Couty Fair and Some School Work

The county fair was in town last week. To kick off the fair, there is a parade through town which ends at the fairgrounds. Aaron's band played on the church float this year. I didn't have my camera so I don't have any pictures of that. It was a lot of fun though! We all rode on the float with them. After we got the trailer cleaned up, we headed back to the fair for a couple hours. It was packed but the kids still had a good time. Aaron and Heather took off on their own so I didn't get to take pictures of them. Kristen didn't want to ride. Momo and Ian both rode as much as they could while we were there! This was the first ride they went on. It was a kid ride but it was a little fast and rather jerky. When it stopped, the first thing Ian said was " That thing made me freak out!" He said it was fun though!

They were happier looking on the other rides!

Kristen did ride this one with Ian.

Momo tried the big slide but it was a little damp from the dew and didn't go very fast. She was a little disappointed with that.

Ian rode this little mini Ferris wheel. It is hard to see but he is in there on the left.

This is the only picture of Aaron and Heather I was able to get. We caught them on the big Ferris wheel! AWWWWWWW!!

Back at home the next day, we were back to work. At least we can do school in our PJ's, snuggled up in a blanket on the recliner!

I made a few new file folder games for Momo so she was trying those. This one was a sentence game where she had to build sentences by taking a carrot out of each basket and then write the sentence. I think she likes this one a lot because I have found her doing it several times!

Morgan also started working on a pocket book all about whales. She has been enjoying reading books she checked out from the library about all kinds of whales too.

There was also our normal weekly activities and lessons that we didn't get pictures of. Life has just been so busy the past few weeks and the days are just flying by.
