The day after Ethan's birthday party we packed the kids up and headed to the Thurston County Fair. We really wanted to make a trip to it again this year since Ethan had enjoyed it so much last summer. We caught the free shuttle again, a.k.a. a school bus, which made Ethan sooooo happy. He LOVES school buses!
I love his wacky face in this one, even though it's not a great picture over all.
So excited to be riding on a school bus!
We spent most of our time there checking out the animals. Ethan was really interested in the pigs this year.
I love how the pig's snout is sticking out...I think he smells Ethan's sucker!
I loved how Ethan wouldn't take his eyes off the pig so we could get a picture. I guess you never know if you can trust a pig!
Carter did pretty well being pushed around in his stroller. We stopped by the goats and got a picture of him with them.
My boys and the llama
We also stopped by the bee keeper's exhibit. Tristan is interested in keeping bees at some point, so we thought we would get some information. Here Ethan and I are checking out the "hive" and looking for the Queen (she had a dot painted on her back).
No fair is complete without a tractor...and Ethan found one! Love those blue lips.
Snack time! Carter was so funny...he kept holding his goldfish in his mouth like this.
Happy boy!
Carter LOVES his daddy!
We stopped by the chickens and spent some time with the chicks. Carter was very interested in them.
Time to pet the cows! This calf was so soft and sweet.
Carter getting in on the action. He actually did o.k.!
We ended the day by stopping by this field and having a picnic. Carter and Ethan spent some time watching some older kids with the hula hoops. After they put them away Carter went exploring on his own. He actually got a good distance from us and never looked back!
Found one! O.k., hula hoop, do your thing!
I think he thought the older kids made it look a lot easier!
Ethan trying it out
We decided to stop by the horses at the last minute. Ethan was really scared of them last year and we wanted to see how he did this year. He was a little less scared, but definitely not comfortable. He was holding on to Tristan so tight! Maybe next year!
Riding the shuttle back to our car...Carter was pooped out!
I'm so grateful for the family time we have to spend together when Tristan is home.
