Last Friday (a week ago) we headed down to North Bend to visit our wonderful friends, the Moore family! It had been awhile since we made the 4-hour trip south and when I saw this open weekend for us that just so happened to be the same weekend they were celebrating their sweet boy's first birthday, I just KNEW we had to make this visit happen! They graciously hosted us for two nights and the kids were super excited to have a sleepover at their friends' house!
Friday night they had invited us to come with them to the Coos County Fair & Rodeo. We were given free tickets to get into the fair and rodeo and the kids got treated to unlimited rides...for FREE! If they only knew just how lucky they really were!! (all thanks to Kara's dad!)
The evening started out with a visit to the animal exhibits...
check out that rabbit...
looks just like a giant cotton ball!
Mikayla really wanted to take this guinea pig home...
sorry, sweetheart, never gonna happen!
Next up was the rodeo...
I wish I could say the kids sat there in awe of all that was going on, but that was definitely not the case! The sun was in the kids' eyes most of the time and they couldn't really see anything going on in the arena. Austin would not sit in one place for longer than 10 seconds and before the kids got too antsy, we decided to cut it short and head out to the rides!
Just a taste of Disneyland...
Mikayla & her buddy Chloe went on the giant swings and we (the parents) were so nervous for them! We kept freaking out that we were making the wrong choice by letting them go, would they be safe, could they slip out of the seat, was it too high?
When Mikayla got off the ride I asked if she was feeling all right (thinking that maybe her tummy was a bit queasy), but all she said to me was..."THAT WAS AWESOME!"
Ally (4 yrs.), Mikayla (5 yrs.), Austin (almost 4), Chloe (5 1/2 yrs.)
{we were missing Jayce...home with his grandma and grandpa}
ending the night with chocolate dipped ice cream bars!
me & one of my greatest friends...love you Kara!

Looks like so much fun. That bunny is the cutest thing ever. I miss going to the fair.
What a fun trip! That is awesome that the kiddos enjoyed the rides, I would be nervous too about the swings :)
