State Fair 2013

Labor Day Weekend!

I love love love 3 day weekends!  My Friday ended with a relaxing FAC with teacher friends.  Love my friends! :)  We got a lot done around the house on Saturday including watching the first Husker game of the season.  Although it was too close for comfort, our Huskers came out with a win.  Lily made a tent using the coffee table and ended up falling asleep under there.  She is so creative.  

On Sunday Matt's parents and Emily came to be with us and they had tickets to Lynyrd Skynyrd that evening.  We grilled burgers for lunch and played around the house.

A little dark.

Hudson was such a good boy all weekend.  He likes to show off :)

I bought Lily UNO cards last week and we have almost played every day.  She couldn't wait to play with someone else.  

We then convinced them to go to the State Fair with us before the concert.  We were glad the weather was cooler.  Other than there being A LOT of people there, it was a perfect day.

Racing cars

I had heard that the Butterfly tent was fun, so we all went in.

We all have one.....Grandma had one on her shirt the whole time we were in there.

Hudson loved holding them.  He wanted to touch and kiss them.

She liked them, but also got a little nervous with them too.

Petting zoo

So adorable, waiting to ride the camel.

The Dudos walked by and visited for a little bit.

He liked watching Lily.

Lily thinks the camel is smiling in this picture.

I love this picture.  I am blessed with 2 great kids that love one another.  Lily wanted to show him all the animals.

This cow was willing to cooperate with me for a picture.

Matt's parents went to the concert and we got supper and found a seat for the pirate show.

Her concerned look watching the pirates.

Lily and Aunt Emily!

As you can see she is almost 48".  So, there are still some rides she is too short for.

We got her a bracelet this year....which we don't think was worth it.  There were soooo many people there that we had to wait a long time for each ride she went on.  There were a couple rides she wanted to go on but the lines were too long.  The water rides looked like lots of fun, but were definitely popular.

The Mac and Cheese ride.  

Hudson had fallen asleep while I was holding him.  So, Lily went on a couple of the kiddie rides on our way out.  She had a super time.  We didn't play games and there were a few rides I know she wanted to go on, but it was a great night.  

The State Fair is a lot of fun.  I am sure Lily is already counting down for next year. :)
