Looks may be deceiving...

When I downloaded the pictures I was surprised to see as many smiles because in the moment we all seemed pretty miserable on the hottest day of the year, out in the blazing sun, trying to survive the crowds at the fair in Lynden. We went on Friday and until Joe arrived after work I was hot and cranky. At one point I even thought I would have to call emergency because Isabelle literally wilted in the heat. I've never seen her get heat exhaustion but I know her little body is capable. A little cool shade and a lot of water did  wonders and we were able to stay...

"Can we go home?"



You know it is hot when the boys would rather be at the water sprayer than on the rides...  


Ahhhh dad is here to the rescue! 
Ethan was so happy to experience the Go Army exhibit, he loves all things army. He even got his own dog tag. 

Ending their day by each winning a gold fish, I think was a big hit. I remember my parents allowing me to drag goldfish home so I thought "what the heck...okay!" 
One of the only nice things about being divorced is that the free baby sitter drove out to Lynden to pick the kids up and Joe and I had a date under the moon at the Newsboys concert. Much cooler and a perfect way to end the day. 

Remind me next year that I said today... "I think the fair will be an every other year event!!!"
