Venting

I have a confession. I have been working on getting back in shape and losing weight but unfortenatly it has been a half-ass effort this summer. I have been working out every day(minus a week or two). I am definitely more in shape than I was at the beginning of the Summer. I can now get through a workout video without having to stop and catch my breathe. Which is great but I would really like to start seeing some results and I know that that is not going to happen until I get my eating under control. I have good days, mostly during the week, and then I have bad days(pretty much the weekends). I so want my husband to come home to someone he can workout with and that we can do all the activities that we love to do and hopefully some new ones like rock climbing and scuba diving. Okay I am done with my vent!

Horse ride at the fair

The one ride that Sassy just had to go on was the carousel. She loves horses and she was practically jumping up and down to get to ride on the carousel. As far as these go it wasn't that great but she loved it. I can't wait to take her back to Spokane so that I can take her to the one that's down town, she would love it.

Tanana Fair

The fair was definitely more than rides and was full of food, booths, and events. We of course loved all the food options and had to try out a pretzel wrapped hot dog(Yummy), kettle corn, funnel cakes and lastely my newest favorite find Flavored almonds!! I found a place that had toffee, mocha and garlic and onion flavors. Oh they are soooo yummy!

We also checked out the animals and the kids were able to interact with goats, pigs, turkeys, bunnies and horses. The kids loved all the different kinds of animals and I am very lucky that none of them were for sale or they would have tried to talk me into having a small farm by the end of the day. Our favorite animal display was a dog pull that we stumbled across. It was a large breed(meaning 125# or more) pull and watching the dogs was amazing. The winner pulled something like 1500#. We were able to go meet the dogs afterward and the Saint Bernards were amazing and just wanted to cuddle with you. They were great!

After all the fun of watching the dog show we headed over to get to snack on some funnel cakes and rest, we had been walking around the fair for over 4 hours at this point. But of course the kids couldn't just sit still and started wrestling up and down the hill we were sitting on. They played for well over a half an hour just going up and down the hill, tackling and rolling all over the place. It was a wonderful way to end the day.

Bumper Cars at the Fair

Another ride the kids just had to go on was the bumper cars. Of course, Sassy wasn't big enough to reach the pedals so she had to piggyback with her big brother but I thought she was going to have a heartattack. She was so excited she was giggling and chanting and encouraging Jack to run into as many people as they could find. Giggles had the driving down patt. The boy was zipping places and plowing people over and heading to the next one. All the kids loved being able to just run people down. They must get their driving ability from their father, lol

Skydiving at the Fair

Well I was able to take the kids to the Tanana State Fair yesterday and of course they had to do some rides.

Thud and Giggles started off the day on a hang glider ride. They were both stoked about doing the ride, even though I think Giggles was a little nervous.

This was Giggles the whole ride, just hollering and giggling. It was great!!

They both LOVED the ride and talked about how they felt like they were in one of their video games. What silly boys
