State Fair and American Girl

This past Tuesday we made our yearly trek to the Fair except this year we went in the afternoon and stayed until closing. Man, were we wiped out the next day. I could barely keep my eyes open the next day and my legs were throbbing. I feel so old.
We played games, fed animals, 'planted' food, 'milked' cows, rode some rides, met some friends; and of course, had some fried food. Caitlin went back and forth from an "I love this" look on her face to a "What the heck is going on here?" look. The rides and games were a bit much for her to take in but she loved going to the 'farm' and the barn. She did try a few games; but of course, never won anything but always walked away with something:) Caleb won a basketball and Christopher a light saber; which of course, he broke.

This weekend Brian took the boys to a father-son campout with our church to Mineral Wells while Caitlin and I had a 'girly' weekend:) I had been looking forward to this for a long time! We had lunch at American Girl with a friend and her daughter and they had so much fun playing with all the babies, dolls and accessories. They got to borrow dolls to eat lunch with which was so cute. At night she slept with me in my bed which was fun to do since she's never done that before....but hearing her smacking on her pacy at 5 in the morning was not so fun.:)
