The Fair and Movie Night

On Friday I took the kids (along with the Shumways) to the Arizona State Fair

All morning Jack told Ryan "I gonna see some aminals!"
Poor Ryan had to stay home and write a paper for school

There was a little petting zoo!
Ella loved it, Jack hated it

We walked through to see some more animals. The cows were HUGE and pretty scary

Then we walked over to the rides and games!

It was the best carnival I've ever been to...

I just wish it wasn't so dang expensive!

Roller Coaster!

Bumble Bee ride

Have to do a fun house!

Jack did pretty good.. sat in his stroller most of the time.. being a good boy

Of course, what's a carnival without cotton candy!?

Ella has ALWAYS wanted to play one of these games every time we go to a carnival

but we never let her, since you almost never win

But since Dad wasn't here, Mom let her play

She didn't win

it was quite the disappointment

but a lesson learned

It is still SO hot here in Phoenix! About 100 everyday still

I hate it

We all took a break to watch, what seemed as though would be a neat stunt man show

It wasn't

So then it was getting late and there was time for just one more ride

Ella, Grace and I decided to go on the log ride!

So much fun.. and it sure felt great to get a little wet and cool off

We had so much fun! I'm so glad we went. I'm sad that Ryan's wasn't able to share in the fun.

Next time

But the night wasn't over yet!

After getting home and when Ella was done with soccer practice we headed over to Ryan's parents new house for movie night!
Of course the Shumways and Riggs came along!

We watch beauty and the beast on the HUGE screen

and ate popcorn and pizza

Dakota did NOT want his picture taken

Ryan was WEIRD the whole night......... what can I say?

So far it's been a great fall break.. now if it would only cool down! That would be great! Then it might actually feel like fall!
