Great Weather Leads to Great Fun

Friday Evening

First time to go miniature golfing (didn't realize we were sitting in front of a dead tree until now)
Hmmm...trying to line up the perfect shot

Owen and Cara checking out where the balls go

Play time on the train after our golf game

State Fair Fun

Lots to see and do here

On the farm at Riley Kids Park being followed by Grandma

Carrying her basket to gather more items

Time to pet a cow, wow!

And another one
We took advantage of the the great weather this weekend and spent as much time outdoors as possible! We headed up north over the weekend to get Grandma and Grandpa A's house ready for their return home! So we got to spend the evening with Chris, Amy and Owen. We went to a new restaurant and then headed to play miniature golf at an outdoor recreation center. The kids had a lot of fun (carrying their balls and dropping them in the holes). They had lots of other fun things to do, Scott and Chris enjoyed the batting cages while the kids loved playing on the wooden train.
Saturday afternoon we went to lunch with Niki and Maizy. I worked with Niki at Parkview and we continue to stay in touch. We had not seen them in a long time, but that did not stop Cara from loving to play with Maizy. She dragged her all over the park after lunch. We headed home later that day after G & G's house was ready for their return.
On Sunday we joined the probable record setting attendance at the State Fair with Grandma and Grandpa F. So much to do there and so much to eat. Cara really enjoyed having corn on the cob! We all shared some yummy ribbon fries! I had envisioned getting a caramel apple or elephant ear, but we got so full from lunch. We walked through the expo hall and then over to the Kids park. Cara loved "working" on the farm and petting the animals. I don't think I have ever seen the fair that crowded or had such nice weather to attend. It was no surprise to us that Cara was fast alseep for her nap before we even got to a main road to leave that afternoon.

I think you are more busy than we are. Looks like you had a fun packed filled weekend.

I love having all those "visits" with you and Cara. Thank you both so much for all the pictures and musings. Sure am looking forward to seeing all of you next month. Will have to let you know when when I know myself.
