Fair....Swim....Luau

We've had an exciting past few days. In a hurried effort to have some much needed fun before Jocelyn begins KINDERGARTEN, we have been busy.

Thursday night we went to the North Texas Fairgrounds and wandered around. This wasn't as hustle and bustle as the Twin Falls County Fair, but there was plenty for the kids to do and see. We watched a Pee-Wee rodeo (tried to get Jocelyn to participate, but she wouldn't have it) the kids took a choo-choo train ride, saw the animals at the petting zoo and played on an enormous bounce house...all for free (yeah). Then they rode some rides; Jocelyn picked the twirling tea cups and Beckton about got sick, then Beckton picked the BIG dragon roller coaster and was wishing he hadn't. We came home and made snow cones (Jocelyn's idea).

THE FAIR


Friday we went to John and Jill's for a BBQ and swimming, the kids had a lot of fun (well Morgan may have had more fun, he raced and chased Alex, Kate and Jocelyn around for hours and they were thrilled for the attention). I had fun too, Kate thought I was a great target for the mega-sized water gun (I got her back though).

SWIMMING

Saturday we headed to Carrollton for a luau. Sally and Willy's ward threw a big feast to end their 40 days of fasting and did a luau. Since Willy is Tongan and Jared lives in a Tongan community, members from their wards got together to cook some yummy food, they also had a great show, Lost of dancing and drums, it was great. Jocelyn was thrilled and excited to watch and Morgan loved all the food, of course we had to bring lots of chicken and beef home.
