We are so excited to have our aunts in Sacramento there are so many fun things to do!! We all decided that the State fair would be fun so our family of four and Titi went up to Sacramento for a long 3 day weekend.
We got there on Thursday July 13th. It was fun hanging out and watching movies that night but first thing first the kids went straight to the pool for some night swimming.
Friday July 14th Spencer had a job in Lodi he had to go observe and Shelly had to work so the kids, Titi, Auntie and I went to Roseville for some shopping and Cheese Cake Factory.
That afternoon it was back to the pool!!
That night we had a BBQ enjoyed sundaes and watched Pee Wee Herman (a tradition!)
Saturday July 15th was fair day! Titi and Auntie made cinnamon rolls for breakfast.
Spencer and I snuck a way for a gym date.
Then it was off to the fair. It was HOT 105 that day! We planned our day to do the inside stuff first and waited for the sun to go down to do the outside stuff.
It was really cool to see a real bald eagle. This eagle was unfortunately shot and can not fly but he is being taken care off and gets to go to schools so kids can learn about them.
The dinosaur exhibits were amazing!
Gotta love fair treats!!
A lady stopped us to try the wand to curl our hair. It actually worked on Aubrey's hair! I can never curl her hair I thought it was just impossible but sure enough this wand works so we had to get it!
The aunts sure know how to spoil these kids!!
I probably would have never done this even though Carter wanted one so bad! Aunt Shelly is so sweet!
My dinner was amazing!
Carter had a hot dog almost as tall as him and Aubrey and daddy had huge hamburgers.
Aunt Pat was chosen for the hypnotize show. She was out!
And she even danced!
Oh we also got some fun hair chalk that Aubrey loves!!
It was cooling down so we did the monorail ride.
Then it was finally ride and game time. It was a hard part of the day for sure. The kids had been so patient to wait until the end of the day but the games were so expensive for such a small toy and most times no toy at all. Plus I am the biggest worry wort when it comes to the rides at a fair! I do not trust those things. The fair had a program were if you read two books and wrote about them you could get two free rides. Aubrey took it very seriously and read 5 books and wrote reports about them. We turned in their papers and got the free rides but with me freaking them out they were not that excited. I felt bad to rain on their parade but I only allowed close to the ground rides. They did do one roller coaster that I almost had a heart attack watching. Sure enough they did too so they were done with rides as much as I was done watching.
That night we went back to their house and had a really late night swim. We slept in the next morning and then came home it was a wonderful trip!
