A trip to the Shelby County Fair...

Tonight the we all went to the Shelby County Fair - the weather was on the cool side, Jess was happy it wasn't going to be warm. And although I hate being at a fair when it's 90 degrees out I was actually cold! But we all got pineapple whip as soon as we got their, I think Eva was the only one who managed to eat all of hers (no milk - so she must have really enjoyed it!). We ran into Shane, Jess, Ella & Elijah... walked around w/ them. Grace wanted to ride a ride but I'm thinking they didn't look too safe plus then Eva would have wanted to as well. So instead we walked over to the farm buildings to check out all of the animals.

The girls had a great time seeing the animals, they got to see a goat being milked! I have to say that was new for me too! Eva liked the cows but they were a little scary, they are REALLY big close up! Since being at the fair, Eva now when asked "what does [insert ANY animal] say?" She will respond w/ "Naa...haaa..." which works well for most farm animals, but it's really funny when you ask her what a cat says;-)

Waking up from a nap to strawberry dip!

Swimming... their FAVORITE activity!

Gosh I'm glad the girls have the pool b/c boy do they have fun out here! Grace used to be afraid of the water (after a BAD swim lesson). But now she is a little fish! She puts her face in the water (of course generally w/ goggles on). She's even started swimming some w/out her life jacket on. And as I'm sure you can guess - Eva has to at least try and do EVERYTHING Grace does b/c she thinks she's just like Grace:-) Some of it goes over well, and others... hmm... not so well. But Eva was actually the first person to jump in the pool. Grace wasn't going to let Eva out do her - so now she's jumping in too!

Pics w/ the Benson girls...

Tonight I had pics w/ the Benson girls, it's always hard when I have to take pics of the girls friends... especially for Eva. Eva thinks I should be taking pics of her the entire time. I mean look at that face below, she sooooo wants to be the center of attention. And Gracie isn't too far behind her in that area, luckily Grace is growing up so she understands better why I'm not just taking pics of her:-)

Father's Day @ the lake...
