Last night we went to the State Fair. It is sneakily expensive considering getting in the gate isn't that bad, but we had a great time. The kids wanted to ride every ride but they weren't tall enough to make a wristband worth it (although $5 apiece for any of the games, and $5 for tickets for one ride means it makes a lot of sense if they were just a little bit bigger). They did get to ride the cars and thought it was so fun. We got Tyler out of his seat when the ride was over and he very calmly walked back, climbed back in and buckled himself up when he decided that he wanted to do it again. The only thing that distracted Katie was her desire for a "lollipop," which I finally figured out was a candy apple!
Today, thanks to our awesome sitters Tommy and Ashley and Liz (in shifts), Lance and I got to go to the Vandy game to see a win over Ole Miss. We had a great time and are very thankful for the help watching the kids! It will probably get a little cooler soon and we can take them out with us to enjoy the bouncy houses they have set up in Vandyville. It would have been impossible today - I took Katie to dance class and we were rushing to get home and get back in time for the early game. Dance class is a huge hit - she is loving it more and more everytime. They are also doing a tumbling class at the Y, and with the exception of getting in trouble for wanting to do everything at the same time when they are supposed to wait in line, they are doing great. They have made people watching through the big open windows melt with how sweet they are to each other in the class - I don't know if it is trying to comfort each other in a scary situation, or because they are separated in class now, but they walk around the class holding hands and trying to help each other learn the moves, and twice they have given each other the sweetest hug seemingly out of the blue. Tomorrow I am going to take them to Fall Fest and will try to remember the camera so we can get better pictures than these taken with the camera phone.
Katie (on the wrong side of the car) chose the right color and was having a ball waving and smiling everytime she went by us! Tyler was the first one in to his choice (orange matchbox looking car, of course) but for some reason sat in the backseat and he didn't really notice us - he was just intent on beeping his horn!
