Portage County Randolph Fair

Anson's parents came to town the last weekend in August. We went to the Fair with them, Jeremy & Heather and Heather's parents. It was perfect weather and the kids had a lot of fun!

Waiting in line for their first ride.

Baby girl!

Waiting in line for their second ride - very similar to the first except dinosaurs instead of caterpillars

Posing by the "moo-moos"

Petting the cows. Ann & Bill knew this lady and asked her if the kids could touch the cows.

Prizes they won from the duck game. Lily was so happy she won a pony! And Dillon loved his red ball!

Re-take since you couldn't see his face in the photo above.

Mimi rode the Crazy Bus with the kids. Dillon really wanted to ride this but an adult had to go with them.

We had a lot of fun. Can't wait to go again next year!

Uniontown Parade & Festival

This past weekend, Lily was in the Uniontown Parade and Festival for her tap and ballet class. She rode on a float and performed both of her dances. We had a great time watching her! Plus the kids had fun at the festival. Here are some photos and videos from our day!

Jamie and his girlfriend, Ann, helping Dillon gather some candy

Wearing "Uncle Mimi's" sunglasses! He can say "Jamie" just fine, but when you ask him to put Uncle in front of it, it becomes "Uncle Mimi." Don't ask!?!

Big girl Lily riding on the float!

After the parade, my parents came back to our house for a cook-out. Then we headed over to the festival. Lily performed both her tap and ballet dances on a stage in a tent.

Getting a pep talk from Mary Lyn before the show

Dillon was a good boy. It's hard to sit still for such a long time!

Ready to perform!

Ballet Dance

There was a trailer set up so that the girls could change in between dances. Then we changed Lily into regular clothes and let her and Dillon ride a few rides.

Getting on the mini Ferris wheel

Dillon was scared at first.

Lily took good care of him. She's so sweet hugging him.

And before we knew it, Dillon was smiling and having fun too!

He still looked a little nervous, though!

Then they went on the merry-go-round with Daddy!

And last but not least, they rode the dragon roller coaster!

Wheeeeeee!!!

They ate Cotton Candy!

They played a fishing game!

They won prizes!

It was a really fun day and evening! The kids were worn out by the time we got home. We are looking forward to taking them to the Randolph Fair next weekend when Mimi and Grandpa come to visit!
