The Fair Is In Town!!

The kids were thrilled when we told them that the fair was in town. It has always been a hightlight of the summer for them. It means fun animals to see, crafts to do, carnival rides to go on, and their favorite "the rodeo". Here they are painting some ceramics at the fair.

The kids love to go on the big slide. This is one of the few things that Jessica likes to go on. It amazes me though because she is afraid of heights.

John loves all of the rides at the fair. One of his favorites is a ride called the Hang Glider. Here he is all strapped in ready to fly.

Abbi is too short to go on many of the rides, but she loves the merry-go-round because she can ride a horse.

Falling Asleep

After a long day at the park and playing in the river Abbi was apparently exhausted. We got home and she wanted to watch some TV, I told her that was fine but please put on some dry clothes first. She instead put her towel on the couch and started watching TV. Not much longer this is what I found.

Photo Shoot

We went to the park the other day and I did a photo shoot with the kids. These are some of my favorite.

Jessica loves to pose for the camera, usually they are funny, but this one turned out cute.


I have too many favorites of John in this shoot, he is a photogenic young man.
Jessica looks way too old in this photo, but I love it.

I managed to get a couple of good shots of the three of them.

John and Jessica both wear glasses and they are transition lenses. They would not stay light so in most of the pictures they do not have them on. This one John obviously does, but I still like the picture.
