The Warrior Dash...

is really an excuse for big kids to have fun and get dirty.
running a 3 mile obstacle course full challenges.
rope climbs, maneuvering cargo nets, swimming in mud under barbwire fencing, jumping fire and finishing with a mud bath and a beer....




And before we left....we donated our shoes!

Inside and Out

Getting ready for school...
Of course the first day of school always seems to approach too quickly.
So in preparation, Miss Jen cut the kiddos hair!
I must say, biased or not
Garyn and Gigi are beautiful!
INSIDE AND OUT!




Unmistakably BEAUTIFUL! 

Look at those precious feet!  
While Garyn was having his hair cut, Gigi was given a mini-pedi by me, of course!!  She had so much fun.  She sat in the Big Girl Chair and I painted each toe a different color of her choice!!  

Now, we are ALL ready for school!!

The State Fair

This year we visited the State Fair several times.  Garyn and Gianna looked at lots of animals, played, ate, watched the horse show, rode rides, watched the sheep sheering competition, ate some more, rode a pony, looked at elephants up close, watched farmers milk the cows, played with baby calf's, ate some ice cream, received free stuff like hats and a tool box, went fishing and caught a cat fish and blue gill, spent time with family, drove go-carts, ate some more, rode the tractor trolley, drank water from a well, played putt putt and then.....it was over.

It was a great fair in spite of the tragedy that took place during the Surgarland concert on the Grand Stand.  A horrific tragedy caused by mother nature...
May the people who lost a love one or the ones still sitting with an injured victim find strength and comfort needed to heal.

These pictures will recap our visits to the fair
ENJOY!
 My beautiful Fair babes!



 Garyn wanted Mala to see that he was standing next to a Cow from India.



 He was absolutely disgusted by the Largest Boar in the World.

 Garyn LOVED the DNR Fish Ponds.



Garyn's first official Go-Cart race.  He loved it!
She simply adores him....







"Just go milk a cow...."

Switchin' roles....Garyn's the girl and Gigi is the Moooooo Cow!



Nothin' better.  FRESH WATER!!!!  What a privilege!

The Children's Museum...


This was our last trip to the museum before school started....
The museum NEVER gets old.  Garyn and Gianna have their favorites yet always seem to find at least one new thing to explore. 
The kids excitement for the museum never ceases to amaze me!  We visit often, but you would never know.  It always feels like the kids are there for the first time.  I guess that is why it is ranked the best in the world!










This may have been the last visit before school, but in just a few small weeks we will be so close to the museum that we can make quick visits after school days!  Just one more reason to be excited for our move!!!
