Fair 2013

Well thanks to our wonderful borrowed wheelchair and chase to push me, I was able to go to the fair with my family. We took Rhev in durig the afternoon to ride the rides while Trayvn stayed at Candy Grandma's and took a nap. Miss Allie and little chase came to ride the rides with him. He loves doing rides with Allie and where they are the same height it works our perfectly.

Charlie got a wrist band too so he could go on the rides with little Chase. 

Rhev loved almost all of the rides. He cried and screamed the whole way down on the giant slide, but went on it 3 times. It was a love hate relationship. He also really really hated the haunted house. It really surprized me because he loves Halloween type things, but he came out really upset. Allie thought it was way cool.

After we finished with rides we headed over to walk through the commercial buildings. Because Rhev loves trains so much, we decided that he would love to see the railroad display with the electric train and tracks. We were right, he LOVED it. He just stood there and watched in amazement. Then he noticed Tyce was filling out some tickets and asked what they were for. Tyce not thinking said "I'm writing your name on these so you  could be able to win this train". Rhev of course took that as he WAS winning the train and was so so upset with us when we decided it was time to go somewhere else and we didn't take the train he had won with him. He cried and cried. No matter what kind of explaining we tried to do, we could not convince him that he hadn't actually won the train and we weren't taking it home. The Whole rest of the night he asked us and begged for that train. It never left his mind. He was never distracted from wanting to go back and see his train. 

After some fighting and coaxing we made it over to watch a bamboo show. Trayvn got there just in time to watch the show. The boys laughed and laughed. They sat up on the front row with Uncle Chase and had a great time.

When the bamboo show finished we went over to the petting zoo. The kids got to feed the animals and milk a cow.

 You"ll notice the carpet burn marks still on Trayvn's face :)

Trayvn wasn't so sure he liked the goopy slobber on his hands.

Rhev's first kiss :) He was pretty proud of himself.

After the petting zoo we went over to the barns to look at all the other animals. By the time we were about half way through, the boys were tired, we were tired, the crowd was getting hard to go through with me in a wheelchair and the kids in a stroller, so we went to look at the train one last time and then headed home. On the way we stopped at McDonald's for dinner. All that yummy fair food and we decided it was best to stop at McDonald's :)

The next day was Tyce and I's yearly traditional date night to go watch the demolition derby. It took alot of persuading on my part to get Tyce to even let me go to the derby, but eventually I did win and he let me go. It was a much needed dated night with my husband. The boys spend the night at Luke Grandma's and she planned to keep them and take them to church the next day, so we didn't even have them to  worry about getting home to. I'm not going to lie, it wasn't the easiest night sitting in those bleachers. Tyce brought my bleacher chair so I at least had a backrest, but it was still rough. Eventually in the middle of the show he came out with me and let me stretch out a bit. Little Miss has never liked loud sounds and she was going crazy inside my belly.  I definitely suffered the consequences for our date night, but it was so worth it to have some special time with my Tyce. I love him so much!
