A Night with Friends

Thursday night we went to the Nicollet County Fair with our friends Missy, Michael, and Luxie. The kids had a blast looking at all the huge animals. Luxie was very good about telling Charlie what the animals sound like. They enjoyed a few rides and a nice stroll around town. Luxie gave Charlie a nice head rub on the way home while he slept. (TOO CUTE) To our surprise Charlie was ready for bed after a bath! (he has been very stubborn about bedtime for a week and 1/2)

A great way to spend a summer night - enjoying the company of friends and smelling the pigs! oink oink

Michael informed Charlie that horses kick but he didn't care. "Bring em on!"

Charlie's favorite ride at the fair

Scary but thrilling for the babes - nerve racking for the dads

The tots with their dads

(Moms are always behind the cameras!)

It was hard to keep Charlie OUT of the cages!

All I could think about going through the pig barn was "Silence of the Lambs!"

(We just watched that movie with my dad last week b/c he is reading the series)

"What is that smell?"

I think we have a farmer on our hands!

Tim had to hold Charlie back from getting in the straw w/ the cows
