Fun Fair

Tonight Cullan's school put on a fun fair and it sure was fun!
We had a really great time. I have to admit that both Garran and I were nicely surprised at how many fun things they had to do for the kids. Things were very fairly priced and the kids had an awesome time playing all the games and doing all the activities!
We ate dinner there first. 
Hot dogs!
The kids were excited about that!

 I am about 99% sure this was Cullan's favorite part. They had a couple huge bouncy house things and he spent most of his time playing in those.

 Briea on the other hand had fun at the bouncy houses but really loved all the animal stuff. she stayed at the mini petting zoo for a long time.
so did Kael. he has always been my little animal lover. he is very sweet and soft to them. he is always asking if we can get different kinds of pets. hopefully one day we will. 
 garran tried to let Ayla check out the animals with Briea. I don't think she was having much of that. Briea on the other hand was not afraid at all. She cracked me up. She and this duck were having a mini stare off. all of a sudden this duck quaked and her and she just reached over and pinched its beak closed. she was very soft when she did it, but I could just see her saying, "I don't think so DUCK!"
They also had pony rides. 
Guess who was in heaven.
Yep these two kiddos.
We took multiple turns on the ponies.
At one point, every time we went around briea would yell "yee-haw" and wave a pretty wave to the people waiting in line for a turn. 
They were so cute riding the horses. I even snapped a little video of them.
 after the pony ride, Kael decided that it was time to go do some rock climbing! 
 here he is getting all harnessed up.
 this was a pretty decent sized rock wall for a 5 year old. kael showed no fear. he just hopped right up in line.

 Cullan stood with Kael while he waited for his turn.

Look at him go. He did not make it to the top to ring the bell but that did not matter at all. I was so proud of him for trying something new. I kept telling him what an awesome job he did. I hope he tries those sorts of things more often. I get so excited watching my kids strike out and try new things that they have not yet experienced.

video of kael. Sorry it is sideways and short. i was trying to watch other kids so i did not get most of it.
 Cullan playing bags. Guess he takes after aunt sara!
after most of the games we decided to go on the hay ride.
 look at these two cuties waiting for the ride to start. 
i just love them.
 three more cuties. 
Sometimes I can not believe how big they are getting.
 Cullan took this picture of Garran and I. 
I am trying hard to be in more pictures. 
 more cuteness. 
i just thought i would through it in.
 while on the hayride we found out that this tractor is famous. 
Zach Effron and Dennis Quad are in our town and the two adjoining filming a movie. This tractor was in it. They borrowed it from the farmer. The movie is about a farmer and his son. The dad wants his son to farm, but the son wants to be a race car driver. I found a link to the movie HERE
Here we are at the end of the night.
Fun Fair Over and we were ready to head home. 
It was starting to get really chilly so it was the perfect time.
I am actually looking forward to more nights like these, now that we are officially parents of school aged children.
(sigh, I can not believe i just said that)

Looks like a fun family activity. And I've been trying to be in more of our pictures too, it's just so hard when your the one always behind the camera.

I love reading you blog. I was already giggling to myself after seeing the picture of B hugging the sheep. After I read the duck part, I was laughing so hard I woke my daughter in the other room! So funny!

I love the saying "the best thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother". My husband does an amazing job of that. I am truly married to my best friend. We laugh often and try to see the best in every situation, or at least find the humor in it. We have four beautiful children. Cullan (7) Kael (6) Briea (3) and Ayla (2). We are currently living in Illinois while Garran attends Grad School. He is a talented print maker and is enjoying his time here. He has a website if you are interested. www.garrangillespie.com Right now we are living every day to the fullest and trying to have as much fun as possible along the way!!

This explains why I blog so much RIGHT?

“Your journal is your autobiography, so it should be kept carefully. You are unique, and there may be incidents in your experience that are more noble and praiseworthy in their way than those recorded in any other life. …
“What could you do better for your children and your children’s children than to record the story of your life, your triumphs over adversity, your recovery after a fall, your progress when all seemed black, your rejoicing when you had finally achieved?”
Elder Spencer W Kimball!

I need to read this every morning!

"It isn't as bad as you sometimes think it is. It all works out. Don't worry. I say that to myself every morning. It all works out in the end. Put your trust in God, and move forward with faith and confidence in the future. The Lord will not forsake us. He will not forsake us. If we will put our trust in Him, if we will pray to Him, if we will live worthy of His blessings, He will hear our prayers."

-President Gordon B. Hinckley
