The Beach and the Fair...again!

This week and month are flying by!  Is tomorrow really Thursday?  Is it really already August 10?  Are all the fall activities really starting to put out schedules and getting ready to launch once again??  So far this week we have embraced all things summer!  The beach, the fair, backyard BBQ...

On Monday the kids' swim lessons were cancelled.  Since they were already in their swimsuits (and very much wanting to swim!), we headed to the beach.  While the weather wasn't the greatest, the kids had a blast!!  Faith spent most of her time running in and out of the very cold water.

Shane primarily hung out in the sand - digging holes, putting sand on his head, rolling around in it...we ended up taking quite a bit of sand home with us as a result!

Today we went back to the fair.  Isn't this a great picture?  My friend Julie took it!  I love the perspective of the fair, as well as being able to see the ocean!  Yes, our fairgrounds are located right along the Pacific!!

We found a new kids area, and Faith learned about gathering eggs!

Shane just wanted to put them back into the nest!

The main reason for going back to the fair was to see the animals.  Our next door neighbor and babysitter, Kelly, raised a pig to show at the fair.  The kids are in front of her pig's pen.  Faith wondered where our pig was!  If Kelly had one, shouldn't we have one too?!

Since we already did rides last week, the compromise was that the kids could pick just one ride each to go on.  Faith picked the Bumper Boats, and Shane picked these trucks!  They both enjoyed their day at the fair...again!!
