A Fair, a Wedding, and Some Water

Time continues to fly by here in the Hall House! Notice the all the bruises and scrapes on my rough and tumble little boy. We're seriously considering buying a helmet for him.

What we've been up to:

Last Friday, Tanner and I went to the county fair with a friend and her son. I was only expecting to stay for about an hour, but the boys were having so much fun, it was more like 3 hours!! We spent all of that time making our way through the animal barns, mimicking their sounds, trying to get our boys to do the same. :) Tanner was very interested in all of the animals, but especially liked the bunnies and the goats. The sheep scared him a bit -- who would've thought!! We ventured into one last barn before we left and found ourselves on a "tot" farm. The boys LOVED it!!

What IS that?

That's where my milk comes from?!

Hey, Seth, you got any snacks over there?

Just call me Farmer Tanner!

Can you BELIEVE these gas prices?!

The next day was Saturday, and we drove home to Michigan for my cousin Brent's wedding. It was so much fun to get all dressed up and see family members who I haven't seen in a while! I'm not sure if the highlight was Mary Lou's cookie display (YUM!!! -- I'll get some pictures of this at Katherine's wedding next weekend), or Tanner tearing it up on the dance floor.

Me and my Lovey.

Boogying down on the dance floor with Aunt Mary Kay.

My Main Squeeze.

So far, this week has been a little boring, but we did make it to the spray park again yesterday for some cooling off. Tanner was all over the place. At one point, he was sitting underneath this pole that has three buckets attached at the top. The buckets fill up and then dump over -- completely soaking the unlucky person underneath. The water comes down pretty hard, so when it hit Tanner, I held my breath to see what his reaction would be. He literally shook the water off, shivered a little, and went back to playing. I think at least 4 other moms commented to me about how brave he was while we were there. Oh my ... While he did enjoy the water, he also spent a good amount of time plucking blades of grass and rocks from the ground and then shoving them through openings in the fence. All in a days work for my little boy ...

Hope you're having a good week!
