Valley Fair

We went to Valley Fair on Saturday!  It was Summer's first time on a ride, and it was a blast to watch her!  She even went on 2 rides all by herself!  Wow, she is looking so big!

Summer's first ride EVER!

Labor Day Weekend

We drove to Grandma and Grandpa Tommerdahl's trailer this past weekend.  Favorite parts included hanging out with family, good conversations, fishing, playing in the water, and as always, delicious food!  Thank you, Grandpa, for sharing your pictures with me so I can post some on our blog!

Whee! Grandma and Grandpa's trailer is fun!

I'm wearing Uncle Ty's hat!

Grandma had lots of fun toys for Summer, including dress up dolls and paints!

State Fair!

We had a blast at the State Fair this year!  Paul took off work last Wednesday and we spent the morning at the fair.  It was great because it was cooler temperatures, less busy, shorter lines, and parking was easier to find.  Here are some pictures from our day....

Beginning the "Little Farm Hands" area...

Each kid got a bucket and some corn...at each station they did different things....here she is driving a tractor to collect hay bales.  At other stations she fed chickens (and got an egg for her bucket), milked a cow (and got a carton of milk for her bucket), etc, etc.  At the end, she sold her produce at market by matching the items in her bucket with the correct basket.  She received "money" at market for "selling" her items with which she got to buy a treat in the store at the end.

Here she is planting a seed

Here she is picking an apple

Sunflowers!

Summer loved the dog show

She loves all animals!
