Well, I'm stuck somewhere in between wanting them to stay little forever and wishing they were tall enough so we could all go on the Ferris Wheel. No matter what stage we're in, we will still have lots of fun each year. I love their bright eyes and squeals looking at all the lights and hearing all the excited screams. Leo got to try "Coppin Candy" for the first time and of course loved it. Hank was just happy to be there to be able to steal more than his share of Fair food.
We've started some traditions the past few years as a family - one of them being the Western Idaho Fair. This year has been the most fun yet, but a bit more chaotic as a family of four. To see Leo's face light up when he sees all the colors and rides makes me giddy. We are re-living a pretty awesome childhood through his eyes and the feeling is indescribable. Hank took a warm snooze on me most of the time, but woke up at dusk to see all the lights come to life. We stayed out way too late and made the best memories.
