August Summer FUN!

What a wonderful summer it's been!

And we ALWAYS look forward to August because it means the STATE FAIR!
On opening day, we wake the kids up before dawn and drive to the fairgrounds to watch a hot air balloon race. It's our second year of 6am wake up call and a 6:30am departure of over 30 beautiful balloons taking off into the sunrise! It's definitely going to remain a family tradition as this is an experience for all ages!







The Wonder Trail at the State Fair is a MUST DO for the kids! Here Joey is working in the garden and found a carrot!


And Morgan found an onion - thank goodness they were "play" vegetables!




Playtime at Home:
The kids enjoy playing in their "nest" - our big blue chair.


Another fun activity the kids love to do together is play "parachute" as mommy makes the bed!


Taking a "Boat Ride" is always fun too - unfortunately, it makes for wrinkly clean clothes!


A Family Visit:
We had a great time visiting the Children's Museum while our cousins Stacie, Ray and their daughters Maura and Tristan visited for the weekend.








A Family Outing:
We went to the zoo with the Dumas kiddos - Andre (3 1/2yr), Drew (2 1/2yr) and Alexandra (1 yr) joined Joey and Morgan at the Splash Park - they had LOTS of fun!


Now September is almost here, which means the first day of Pre-School for Joey! Many more pics to follow, I am sure!
