Hancock County Fair 2015

July 25: Always a highlight of our summer--the Hancock County Fair!  We picked up Kinnick and headed to my parents' house on Friday night after our Michigan trip.  On Saturday morning I was up for a long run.  I had to do 6 miles which is 2x around the perimeter of Bowen plus a bit more!!  While I was running my dad brought a bus over to the house to give the grandkids a ride.  Henry & Carver were especially impressed because they both love buses!  We took the kids to the fair for "Kids Day".  They all competed in the greased pig competition.  Kinnick was determined to win for the 2nd year in a row, which he did.  They also competed in the tractor pull--Macey won for her division.  No one won a bike this year but they each got some cool prizes.  They enjoyed lots of yummy fair food and of course rides & games!

 

He ran right out of his shoes!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A Week with Grandpa & Grandma

July 18-24:  One of the summer highlights for my kids each year is spending a week at Grandma & Grandpa's (it's a highlight for me also!)  This year, Kinnick got a turn to stay with Ms. Jennifer while Sadie, Macey, and Carver headed to Grandma & Grandpa Henry's for the week.  I learned from the best how to pack in the fun... my mom had so many fun things to keep the kids busy!  They kicked off their week by watching Jadyn's baptism on Sunday.  They helped work in the garden, had picnics, played in the back yard, played board games/legos/dress-up, read lots of books, worked on creating fair projects, attended arm band night at the fair, visited Great-Grandma & Grandpa, had a s'mores night, played and rode bikes at my mom's school, and met up with lots of 2nd cousins to swim at the Kroc Center and play on the playground.  All in all, I would say it was a super fun week!
