Fairy Tale

On Labor Day we went to the Delta Fair here in Memphis or the "fairy tale" as Emmy calls it.

We went with some friends from Brandon's school and their families. We had a great time even though it was extremely hot.

Close to the entrance of the fair, there were these really cool swing sets made from wood. The kids had a great time playing on them.
The boys loved all the tractors they saw. They each picked a tractor to sit on for their picture.After the tractors, we went and saw the tent with a whole bunch of goats and other animals. Emmy and I stayed on the edges. Emmy is terrified of animals and wouldn't even walk through the tent. We had to walk around the tent in order to meet up with Brandon and the boys. Ben and Hyrum on the other hand loved the animals and enjoyed petting them.Next, we went to the place where they had knights jousting. The boys thought that it was pretty cool.After we saw the knights, we went and saw a fun car exhibit. The kids picked the coolest car to have their picture with.Can you tell the boys were excited about the cars?

Next, we went back to the place where the knights were to watch a Demolition Derby. The boys were in awe. They thought it was so awesome to see the cars crash into each other. Emmy was too hot to really care or enjoy the day by this point.For our last big excitement at the fair, we let the kids each pick two rides they wanted to ride. The kids chose to ride the race car ride that Hyrum rode over and over two years ago. The kids had so much fun. The expressions on their faces was priceless as they rode the ride. You could tell that they were having such a fun time.
To finish off the hot day, everyone came back to our place and we had a yummy lunch and chatted while the kids play.

It was such a fun and exciting day. It was so nice to spend some time with our family.
