Sept- Week 2- Dan's Camp Out, State Fair

More sweet smiles!

Tuesday I vacuumed our van.  Huzzah! ;) 

Snuggles or suffocating love? 

Wednesday was a normal day.  We played at the park while Ben went to his music class, though I forgot to have the girls grab shoes before we left.  McKenna was the only one who actually played;  Anna was too sensitive with her bare feet.  My mom came over for dinner that night.  

Thursday, McKenna lost her 5th tooth while at her music class.  She said it didn't hurt or bleed.  It was completely hollow and super ready! 

 Friday we went to the park in the morning with some neighbors then went to the church for a potluck lunch with the relief society.  Later that night, Dan went on a camp out with the teacher's quorum.  The kids and I had pizza for dinner and ice cream while we watched Back to the Future 3.  McKenna first watched it at her granddaughter sleepover and had been wanting to watch it again. Ben LOVED it!  

Some pictures from Dan's camp out.  Gorgeous view!

 He was pretty dang proud of his tinfoil dinner and dessert so he had to document them!  The dinner was ground beef, bacon, carrots, potatoes, snap peas, corn, cream of chicken soup, and salt and pepper.  Dessert was raw cake mix inside a hollowed out orange which Dan said cooked up perfectly in the fire. 

 Saturday morning, McKenna and Anna were playing with baby dolls and when they were done I found Bethany like this.  Which baby is real? ;)

 I made funny faces with Anna while Ben and McKenna had a "shop" outside selling bows and old toys.  We were also waiting for Dan to get home.  

In the evening we went to the State Fair!  I think we learned NOT to go on a Saturday ever again.  Pretty busy and crowded.  So far, every year we've gone, we have 4 things on the agenda: Little Helping Hands Farmers, try some of the fair FOOD, see the animals, and the Big Yellow Slide!  

Here they are as little farmers.  

 I got a Navajo Taco and Dan got a Pork Chop.   Both were so yummy! 

Over all, it was way fun, but too hot and crowded for our liking.  We stopped on the way home at Burger King for ice cream cones which, as you might imagine, were way cheaper than at the Fair.  

Sunday we had dinner at Grandma and Grandpa's house. 

These two sat down and copied each other with the pillows on their laps. :)

Monday I did some cleaning, laundry, and worked on painting Bethany's name to go on display in her room.  My mom also came over to hang out for the afternoon, then took Ben to run some errands.  She also stayed for dinner.  For dessert, we were planning to go to Hokulia in Sugar House for their last night of the season.  Unfortunately, they got rained out.  However, Sam brought Hokulia to us at Dan's parents' house!!  Dan was trying to make his brother jealous that he was holding his baby girl.  

 Bethany gave some great smiles to Grandpa!
