Fair Time

One of my favorite times of the year is the fair. Growing up it was the event before school started and such a fun tradition and we have continued to keep it as that. I was a little worried when Hallie woke up Wed morning with swollen red eyes I called the pediatrician since it wasn't looking like any pink eye I had ever seen and the dr wanted to see her. So an hour later we were at the dr and found out she had a bacteria eye infection. So her put her on some antibiotic eye drops and we were good to go but her poor eyes look so sad. So after naps we headed to Brigham to pick up Matt who was doing some work stuff there and headed to the parade. Grandma Joy had saved us a great spot and we were super excited because we got Grandma and Grandpa all to ourselves this year.
 While we waited for the parade to start we ate apples and visited. The spot grandma had got us was shady and really not that hot so it was pretty enjoyable.

 They handed out Popsicle, creamies, pop, juice boxes, cereal, Frisbee, water bottle, squirt guns, and of coarse candy. This is seriously the best parade ever.
 Gracie would get so excited every time they would trow candy and collect as many piece as she could before she was showered with more. Then she would excitedly run back, reluctantly give me her candy and head back out for more. We did have a few slow spots that we all had some candy and she was great with that.
 Me and my sweet heart
After the parade we loaded up and headed to the fair for dinner. We had delicious dutch oven and it was just that...delicious! We then walked around to the exhibits and to see the animals. Grandpa was great and pushed the kids in the stroller the entire night....it helped him with his leg as well. I did a little shopping and then we headed back to grandmas. We played on the front lawn and visited before heading for home. Just as we got ready to leave the moon came up over the mountains it was beautiful.It was such a great night spent with family and making memories. Love traditions and nights like this
