Fair and Derby!

Well we could stop counting down from 365, and the FAIR and Demo Derby were FINALLY here!  Crew and Brody and I went early and did lots of rides in the morning, and came back home to rest up and have lunch, and then Ky's and Chris joined us after naps for the full meal deal.  Animals, rides, dinner at the PTA booth, DEMO DERBY, and of course the famous Moo-which for dessert.  One of the best days possible if you asked my boys.  They love it.  Don't get me wrong the fair is fun, but it is even more awesome to see it through the boys' eyes. 
They woke up that morning and raced into my room, almost like Christmas, and said let's go mom it's time to watch the cars crash em up!
Getting some one on one attention from Courtney, one of my TA's from school
Even Brodes handled the rides, although he wasn't too sure about very many, he mainly wanted to have free reign of running in and out of all the fun houses.
Crew was a wild man though and couldn't get enough of the rides
They both braved the TALL slide, and went down with all smiles. Brodes is a light weight however, and he has quite the spill which ended his sliding.  Pretty scary actually, caught a good bump and flew forward and hit his forward on the edge of the slide. 
Ky's ready for the fair too!!!  He could finally see his favorite cows up close... You can see he took a tumble earlier in the week off our back patio... he loves to say "I bonked" every time he falls or hits something, it is the cutest thing.
Crew and Tay, with her cow
Cow!
We met up with my whole family for dinner, and they treated everyone to the Demo Derby where we had an awesome time watching the cars and trucks crash.  My cousin Brent had a truck in it, and he did so good, he even flipped it which was a little scary though.
Brody hung out on this tractor forever, even thought it was pretty darn hilarious when he figured out how to honk the horn...
Kader was loving the tractors too! 
Thanks Nana and Papa!
So intense! I mostly just watch the faces of the boys during this, that in itself is so entertaining ;)
Brent's truck is the black one, he had by far the best hits of the night.... I think Crew has pretty high hopes that he will one day be in this as well...I thought I was going to be worried about high school football, this is a whole other level :)
You know where we will be 364 days from now....Can't wait!
