4-H Fair Outing Day #1...

So last Friday was the first official day of one of my personal favorite times of the year...FAIR TIME!! For my family...this is like a week-long holiday for us. After growing up and being used to camping the entire week out there...some people thought we were nuts....but I didn't know any different-I loved it! I can remember a couple years I didn't go home one time and was out there the entire week! Being involved in 4 different animal clubs, that will do that to ya:) It's in the blood!
So....now I have Isaac. My hope this year was that he would show just a tiny bit of interest or something in the animals. Nope-not happenin'! And it definitely minimizes the time I get to spend out there, cuz the kid can only take so much fair exposure at one time. He gets that from his daddy...but that's ok:)

Anyways, Saturday was my first day out there with Isaac. So Mom, Dad and me took Isaac and Kylie around to see some animals. Our first stop was Young McDonald's Farm.

Here's Grandma and Isaac looking at the miniature horse:

And petting the duckling...so cute!

Papa taking Isaac on the pony ride...doesn't he look like such a pro?!
(You would never know he only lasted 1/2 way through the ride...then he was done! ha ha!)

And here's Kylie on the pony with Grandma....

Later we met up with my brother, Liz and Lincoln! He was loving the Pat Benatar concert that night!

This was Isaac's expression pretty much the entire time...but he still had a hold of both of his clappers...his favorite toys in the world right now!

This was on Sunday after the fair parade. During a long, hot and sticky day, this was the only thing that kept Isaac from running away from the campsite! Thanks to Aunt Kristi and her portable DVD player so Isaac could watch Nemo! Whew!

So that was our first outing...stay tuned for more pics from this coming Wednesday, which will sadly be our last opportunity to go out there. But we're heading to Chicago for the weekend so that will be a blast!



I'll leave you with pictures of Isaac's hair cut from today! Doesn't he look so grown up?! And so blonde now! This time he cried the whole time during the cut, but we got it done quickly!

Lastly, here's a belly shot of the baby @ 31.5 weeks. We're just shy of the 8 month mark! Yay! He's definitely sticking out a lot. He's already so much like Isaac, as he always sticks his rump up on my left side and I look oddly lopsided sometimes! So weird!
