It has been so hot here the last few days. My car said it was 103 today. It's hard to find anything worth doing outside. It makes me want to hibernate in my air conditioned house. Despite the scorching temps, we've been hanging out as a family.... even outside.
On Thursday we hit the fair with Dave and Becky. We bought ride tickets just inside the entrance because I couldn't wait to take Libby on some rides. It turns out she's not big enough for the rides this year, so Shane used the tickets to win the girls some stuffed animals. We came home with a stuffed parakeet and a little grey hippo. All in all we had a great time, ate some good food (love an elephant ear) and saw some cute animals.
This is Peyton's first ride in the jogger without being in her carseat. It was just too hot to keep her in her carseat. Even this didn't work so well and someone was holding her most of the time so she could get in what little breeze there was.
Libby shares a chicken and rice bowl with her dad.
Peyton enjoys her first fair.
Libby was so sweaty and sticky it prompted Becky to give her a new hair style.
This is Libby's first cotton candy. Bebo bought it for her, and at first she wasn't too sure about it. It only took one taste of the sugar though, before she went for more.
Libby and I cruisin' around seein' the sights.
We spent more time with the pigs than any other animal. The piglets are so cute. I can seriously relate and sympathize with this poor mama. What do I have to complain about? I'm only feeding one, and I generally do so where there is air conditioning.
Our good friend Bret came yesterday. This was the first time he'd seen Peyton and a bond was forged.
Libby loves on Bret's dog Bri. Doesn't she look like a Muppet?
Libby got a new set of bubbles (thanks Shellie), and she loves them. She can actually make bubbles, but she eats a lot of soap in the process.
The wood shed is done! I should've also included a picture of our garage. It's the cleanest it's ever been since we've lived here. The shed holds more than we even anticipated, and we're super impressed with Shane's handi-work. Nelson noted that he even painted the trim, or added "frosting".
Another first for Libby....today she put on her own shoes. We're so proud.
