Another wonderful weekend with family and friends!

Happy Ava enjoying her view from the boat. Thanks for a fun day in the sun Petersen's!

So much fun!

The noodle had to be split in two for the girls.


Sunday we had the pleasure of going boating with our friends, the Petersen's. The girls love to jump off the back of the boat and swim. We went to Saylorville Lake this time and the water was calm and mostly warm for a perfect day of boating.


At the end of the night at the fair and all smiles:)


The three cowgirls:)


Ava wasn't so sure about all of this but Chloe always enjoys having her along.


Chloe took off her hat and shook it in the air but I was too slow to get it on camera.


Yee-haw!

Hannah and Chloe all dressed up and ready to ride the horses!


Chloe chose the pink convertible for her last ride of the evening. She really wanted to ride the motorcycles but she was an inch too short, it looked pretty major and the worker didn't let the kids who were just tall enough on because she thought it was too dangerous. Chloe was bummed and thought that by the end of the night that maybe she had grown enough to go back and ride it:)

Hands on the wheel and ready to take off.


Chloe wanted to ride the helicopter ride. She sat in the front and took off. It even goes way up in the air and she liked it, she's always been a dare-devil!


Chloe and mommy waving to daddy.


Tim and Hannah on her fave ride!


Ava is so patient while the big girls get to have all the fun.


Waiting in line for the carousel.

Petting her pony.

Brave enough to let go and wave.


Hannah, Stephanie, Chloe and Daddy riding the ponies! This was Chloe's first ride on a horse and she loved it!


When we left the goats Chloe gave him a kiss on the ear:)


Feeding the goats.


First stop, petting zoo!


Saturday we packed up the kids and headed to the IA State Fair!

Friday was Chloe's last day of summer enrichment preschool. She had a great day and made her teachers cards to give them as well. Fall preschool will resume in 3 1/2 short weeks;) Then Friday evening Aunt Brigett made the trip to Ankeny once again to give Jason and I a date night and in return Chloe gets special time with her Aunt! These date nights have been so amazing and beneficial to our sanity and relationship, thank you so much Brig for doing this for all of us!
