Fair Time!

Fair Time!

20100828_0332We packed up the family in the ‘ol wagon and headed to the county fair today. This was Ethan and Autumn’s first time visiting a fair and they both enjoyed it. Ethan was determined to find the petting zoo to be able to touch a pig. He loved petting the pig, holding the chicken, and seeing the many other livestock at the fair. He was also able to see vintage tractors, ride a toy tractor, enjoy a roller coaster, munch on a corn dog and cotton candy, watch the lumberjack show, and take in the county fair scene. We’ll be sure to visit next year.

Ethan’s 3rd Birthday Weekend Festivities

Ethan’s 3rd Birthday Weekend Festivities

Ethan’s 3rd birthday has come and gone. It was a wonderful weekend, yet alone month, of activities for him to enjoy. I think his 3rd birthday is more of a rite of passage. It’s similar to when a boy becomes a teenager on his 13th birthday. Ethan went from toddler to little boy this year. He’s grown so much physically and emotionally. He is engaged in his surroundings, seeking to explore and find new adventures. He questions the world and why things are the way they are. Of course he is also learning to test his boundaries and seeing how far he can take it. But this only teaches him what is acceptable and not acceptable to his parents, family, friends, and society.
