Evan seemed to like it. At least he was awake for it this year. He too liked the big slide and he liked petting the cow. He also really enjoyed the hay rack ride pulled by two big horses. And he enjoyed petting them. Next year will be great because he will be running around and able to play and explore on his own.
Hay rack ride.
Big pumpkins!
Cutest little farmers there!!
Saturday was the Smoky Hill Street Fair (aka Santa Fe Days). Chris and Dan rode in the parade. Madi opted to watch and collect candy this time. She got lots of candy and was happy (and on a sugar high the rest of the day). Evan liked the school marching bands. But he is really getting into music and dancing right now. So it was cute to watch him start dancing with the music. After the parade the guys drove their tractors over to Orscheln's and set up to sell tickets for the give-away tractor. Didn't do so well but this weekend will be our last show in Abilene (Oct 2) . Tickets have sold better at the smaller communities events. And then the following weekend (Oct 9-10) is our show at the Flywheels. We will draw the winner Saturday night during the Pig Roast Dinner. Looking forward to being done with the show tractor. It has been a lot of work. We will get a break and maybe start over again next year.
Evan and I hung out at Mom and Dad's house for awhile until the guys were done with the booth. Then I picked Madi up and we went back to Mom and Dad's and had a nice afternoon. When Madi was a baby we did a lot of that on the weekends while Chris worked. So it was nice to hang out there and let the kids play and visit. While we were playing, Chris was at home working. He went out and finished picking all the corn we had planted. Once we got home, the kids and I helped with the last of the picking and then went back to the house to shell. Madi enjoyed helping Daddy throw the ears in and even Evan helped!
Old crank sheller.
Evan helping!!
We have really enjoyed the weather the last several days. I am so ready for fall and it has been great to have the cooler weather and able to get outside and play. In the past it seems we haven't had very good in between weather. It's hot and then freezing cold with nothing in between. So I am hoping that this will last for at least a month (or until after Oct 9 and 10th) give our a/c a break and our wallet!!
Not much change with the kids. Evan is "talking" and getting a little more vocal with his wants and dislikes. Still not walking but getting better and better with standing alone. Hopefully not much longer. He had his first try with spaghetti this week. Which is always fun to watch. He absolutely loved it!! But he had to go straight to the tub, what a mess!!
I need to do a Madi post soon and a post with pics from the birthday party. Stay tuned. Kids are up and I need to get busy. Have a great rest of the week and enjoy the great weather!!!
Love, Amy
