Fair Weekend

You know it is a good sign when the weekend starts on Thursday!  Kael, Silas, and Barak walked in the Pet and Doll Parade.  This was our first time participating because we always seen to be out of town.  Kael dressed up as a spiky haired, sword wielding, super hero and Silas was a ninja with a hammer.  No matter what I said he insisted on a hammer rather than a sword!


 Barak was the only pony sized pet!
 We visited all the 4-H animals and free games at the fair the first day.  They had some awesome games for kids!


 And then on Friday we rode the rides.  This fair was perfect for the boys.  All of the rides were perfect for their age!




 On Saturday the boys ran their first one-mile race!  It was so fun for me!  Kael ran with one of the girls I coached in track, so that he could head out faster than Silas and I.  Kael won the boys 7 and and under division with a time of 9:16!  Silas finished with a time of 13:13 and I only helped out through 4 blocks! 

After the race we went to the parade and collected more candy than on Halloween!  We filled the cookie jar!  (it may start disappearing by handfuls into the trash! ;))  I heard some people called it the candy parade and it truly was.

I must admit that my grandsons ( ALL of them) are the most handsome boys in the universe.
