End of Summer Events

The State Fair and Dekalb Supper are the two events that mark an end to our summer. Mark and I have worked at the State Fair for the past 3 years and haven't had a chance to take the kids along. This year we tried part of a day. We enjoyed Little Hand's on the Farm, some animals, a bunch of food and buildings full of stuff and a few pieces of equipment. While our day wasn't a total flop I wouldn't have called our day "nonstop fun". :) Let's just say Anton wasn't a fan of the heat or stroller.

Our first stop was the Marine's pull-up bar. Mark enjoys things like this and won a nice Marine shirt for the amount of pull ups he was able to do!

Next stop was Little Hand's on the Farm. The kids' favorite part of the fair.

Can you tell Anton isn't overly excited about the fair? :)

Elijah loved the tractors or "ta-tee's" as he calls them.

This picture was from the Dekalb Supper. Elijah stuck close to Grandpa that evening, even while he was speaking. I found out later that he had to be rescued after climbing up a piece of equipment with the big kids. He was pretty scared and thought he'd stay safe with Grandpa, who saved him, for awhile!
