Summer fun & more Elliott pics (of course)

This weekend was Mr. Wise Guy's off Fri. so we went to the park for awhile in the afternoon. Miss Kate and I went wading in the lake to cool off since it was very hot out. When waves came in from passing boats it made Kate dizzy and she promptly fell over (this happened multiple times) so that is why she has no pants on. :) I had meant to bring spares but forgot. (as usual) The kids were exhausted by the time we got home. Miss Kate fell asleep eating her granola bar. I am loving this double stroller that The Sesters so graciously gave us. Both kids love to go out rollerblading and so do I. It improves Katelynns mood when she gets grumpy about the lack of fun times with mommy, cures Elliotts tummy bubbles since he finds the bumping along very soothing, and also boosts mommy's morale. (nothing like getting out for some fresh air and exercise after a stressful morning.) I love the fact that there is so much room to fit anything I need to bring along for extensive outings. Big Thanks to T & K.

Sleeping on daddy's pillow after he's gone to work. :) Happy thoughts after a full tummy.

something musta been funny. Bathtime!!!

Look at his big fat tummy!!!

showin how tall he is. :)

So many rolls. :D Miss Kate puttin' Elliott to bed. She has to make sure he has his binky before she goes to her bed.

And here comes the Grant County Fair.

Kate loved looking at all the animals in the show barns.
There were cows, pigs, sheep, lots of goats, lamas, bunnies, chickens, ducks,...I didn't get pics of everything, here are the few that I did take.

This little calf just sat there bawling away and Kate was very concerned about it.She offered her fingers to every single animal she saw...thankfully she came home with them all still in tact.

I really thought this duck would have snapped at her when she poked its bill.

She loves ducks, but I missed all the shots I wanted to get because my camera has a 3 second delay when the batteries are running low, and a toddler can do a lot in 3 seconds!!! :D The camera was also doing weird stuff with the lighting too.She found this goat very amusing because she would point at it and it would poke its nose out at her. Then she would clasp her hands together and giggle like it was just the funniest thing and they would do it all over again. I think the goats were her favorite because they were just as curious about her as she was about them.It reminded me of her petting zoo experience at the zoo this last spring.

Peering at the pygmy goats.

Poking the sheeps ears.

She loved this little goat. It was so cute!!!

She kept poking her finger in its mouth ..and my camera kept acting up.

At the petting zoo she ran around and around the pen chasing any goats that would run from her.

And so ended our evening at the fair.
