Laurel Fair Fun 2014

FINALLY a year at the fair with NO sister tantrums! She’s FINALLY big enough to ride some rides!!  Hallelujah!  We’ve been waiting on this day for the past TWO fairs!  And she barely made the 36” requirement at 3.5 years old at 36.5”!  Whew!! She would have been an unhappy camper if she was turned down for the rides for another year!  She’s certainly a little dare devil and wasn’t the least bit scared of anything!

Daredevil LOVE the rides!!  Brother claimed a front row seat on this one so he didn’t make the family pic!  lol!20141023_181023

She even LOVED the “Funny House” and I bet we went through it five times!  It had a slide that she thought was super fun!!IMG_4908

No time to stop for a pic on the balcony of the “funny house” with Nana and Aunt!IMG_4911

Alec liked running through the spinning wheel at the end of the funny house!IMG_4915

Alec on a “real” ride with Nana! He came off screaming THAT WAS AWESOME!IMG_4927

Alec and Nana are on that crazy thing somewhere!IMG_4933

Even though he like the Thrill Rides, he loved taking time to help sister on her rides too!  Best big brother ever!IMG_4934

Her first rollercoaster!IMG_4938

On the roller coaster with Aunt, this one really did give us a thrill! It was pretty fun!IMG_4953

Sassy even ran into her friend Chandler from school!IMG_4954

Of course, we did PLENTY of eating too!  I can’t believe I didn’t get a food picture of Dustin, he tried everything.  Sister ate nearly this whole plate of chili cheese fries by herself!IMG_4958

Riding horses, was what they most looked forward too! They Love the animals!IMG_4964

He says he’s riding his own horse when we go to the mountains next month!IMG_4965

Carrots for the goats!  We love doing this too!IMG_4969

Alec was a little leery of the camel!IMG_4978

Not this one, she like all the animals!IMG_4979

Fair trips are never complete without the messy cotton candy!  And I’m not sure how we made it outta there without a funnel cake!!IMG_4990

We even ran into sweet Riley at the fair!IMG_4992

So that’s it for this year’s fair, although, sister told me just this morning she’s ready to go back to the fair already!  Me too!

Gulf Shores Family Trip 2014

Well we’ve been back a little over a month, but I’m just not getting around to posting pictures of our family beach trip from September. 

Dustin, the kids and I went down a day early and did the Gulf Shores Zoo again, it’s our FAVORITE!!  We love to pet the monkeys every year!

The monkeys were so cute!!20140918_110155

Alec got peed on as we were leaving! lol!!  NASTY!!20140918_110258

Family Pic at the Zoo!IMG_4403

Dad was sure this thing wouldn’t bite and LOVED getting it’s neck rubbed!  I was just waiting for someone’s fingers to get snapped off!20140918_112739

Great Grands always make the trip even more special!!20140918_173651

One loved the kayak in the hot tub/pool and the other didn’t!!  From the looks of the picture, it’s hard to tell which is screaming uncontrollably and which is laughing just as hard!20140919_110202

Getting in a little football practice on the beach!20140919_140018
