We ventured out to Powhatan State Park with the intention of finding some caches and then letting the kids play on the playground. The girls were a little more eager to get started than Dallas. He had just woken up from a short nap and he was a little grumpy.
As we walked the trail, wouldn't you know it, Paul got a call to go into work. We were "only" a mile from our car...no big deal. The kids were disappointed that they didn't get to find the other caches or play on the playground. We are definitely going to have to go back.
We ended our weekend with our annual trip to the Chesterfield County Fair.
This year made me realize just how old my kids are getting. Kristen didn't want to ride on the "little" kiddie rides like the train and little cars. She wanted to go in the fun house and ride on the spinning dogs. She also liked playing the games that you can never win.
Kristen and Lauren did ride the dragon Rollercoaster. Kristen loved it!
Lauren...not so much...
Kristen and Lauren also rode the slides by themselves. Well, Paul went down with them...but they were on their own potato sacks.
I don't think Lauren knew she would be going down by herself. I think she had fun, but didn't want to slide down it again. Kristen did though.
Dallas enjoyed the rides, especially the cars.
Although, when you asked him what he wanted to ride, he always said "I want to ride in Papaw's truck." That kid loves his Papaw and Papaw's truck.
We enjoyed all the perks of the fair: funnel cakes, candy apples, italian sausage with green peppers and onions, and cotton candy. We saw a show with bears, got to see someone carve neat stuff out of wood...but most importantly we got to enjoy being with family. Thank you Papaw, Meme and Aunt Do for loving my family so much and making memories that will last.
