This was our family trip to the Alaska State Fair in Palmer.
We had promised at least one campout before the summer ended.
You may not have known that they actually make tents big enough for a family of seven. Yes, its true. We slept in a tent for two nights and had the only hot and sunny day of the two week fair. After spending a small fortune, all and all we had lots of fun. Maybe in another 5 years will go again!
I wanted to take the kids out fishing all summer and this was the big day. We were there for almost 3 hours.
The kids were surpirsingly patient. The only catch of the day was a nice plump sea star! The silvers were in and enjoyed taunting our attempts at bringing one in. I hope to make it out more next summer.
Better luck next time!
Elsie was pretty excited about her Panda bear theme this year.
We love having six of our seven birthdays in the summer months however no slip and slide parties this year. Too wet and cold. Buts still lots of ice cream and cake.
Elsie is growing up way too fast. She loves writing stories, songs and drawing cartoon like illustrations. She is very concerned about the welfare of the world and those living in it. She has just recently started her own campaign to save the Polar Bears. She has great plans and dreams to fulfill. Good luck and we love you Elsie!
Please notice the attempt at the spidy cake,
the frosting turned out pink but Kian reassured
me that he liked pink so all was well. Kian had
a great birthday, we enjoy having him around to
mix things up a bit. I always get cracked up about
the things he does and says, falling down simply turns into
some cool move and he sayes "awesome" or "I did't
see that coming"! He loves hanging with dad any chance
he can get, and I love to see the two of them together!
Kian is our awesome superhero! He gets big thrills when
I have him do a task and say he's saved the day!
