Eastern Idaho State Fair. The wagon works well for 3 kids to get around the fairgrounds and not get lost. Annie was a little nervous about the fair mascot, but warmed up a bit. Brian and Celia had to try their luck at pull ups.
Jared, Nikelle, Molly, Blake and I went to the fair during the parade. It was a great time to be at the fair. Molly was so excited to ride a horse at the fair, then she was a little scared of the white horse, but she was just fine on the brown one.
Molly loved this little exhibit with hands on fun. She was a cute little farmer and chicken and loved sitting on the cow.
Ryder loved the fair, too. He got to go on the Merry Go Round, ride a horse, sit on the cow and be a chicken. He called the stroller we rented his wheelchair.
Molly got to help Grandpa mow the lawn and go see Grandma Great. She's such a happy, fun little girl.
Maden and Celia participated in a Cornhole competition. Maden was so excited, and was definitely the youngest competitor. Blake, Brian, Clark, Annie and I found a shady spot to watch.
Randy took Ryder bow hunting. Ryder loved riding the 4 Wheeler and being with his dad. Molly started her first day of dance class. Annie loves to get her face painted at Texas Roadhouse, then take selfies of the paint job.
Ryder had a busy day. Blake had some business in Pocatello, so Ryder and I went to the mall, he played on the Mickey car, then we picked up Grandpa and went to Wingers for lunch, then took him back to the mall to the "Jump Place". Then when we got home he played in the hot tub. Lots of activities.
Blake, Randy, Courtney, Jared, Nikelle, Molly, Ryder and I went to the Parade of Homes in Idaho Falls. We saw some really nice homes. Ryder and Molly loved wearing the silly booties. We are all in this picture, you can see mine and Nikelle's shadows and Blake getting into the car. I love the daddy's holding their little ones hands.
My brother, Randy and his wife, Julie are moving into a home in Rupert. (It's actually Nikelle's childhood home!) They were borrowing our Red pickup and horse trailer. Blake, Randy, Ryder and I went over to help them unload. Ryder had not had a nap, and so he slept almost all the way to Rupert. While we were there, a dog suddenly came into the house. We quickly got the dog back outside. Randy looked at the dogs tags and found out the dog's name was Molly! Julie found some toys for Ryder, he thought it was great.
September 21 ---
Sept. 21, continued.... After the parade, we headed for Bear Lake. We were going for one last boat trip, and to hear my nephew Joseph Leifson report his mission. We took Ryder with us, he and Molly like watching movies when they travel. We kept having roadblocks, first cows, then tractors, then a wedding party got in our way. We celebrated Blake's 63rd birthday once we got to the resort. I bought these little dolls because I don't have very many little girl toys and Molly had a great time with them. Ryder and Molly had a bit of a hard time going to sleep in the same room, but they finally did and thought it was great fun.
Sept. 22-- Some of the guys went hunting early in the morning, so we took the triplets to the swimming pool. When the mighty hunters returned, then it was boat time. It was a little windy, but not bad.
We got to see Joseph after two long years. So great to see his happy smiling face. He brought his sister, Jackie and brother, Ryan for some fun on the tube. Maden really likes Joseph and Ryan and thought he was one of the big kids to be with them. The wind was stronger and it was really a bumpy ride. You can see their legs flying and bouncing, but they kept the smiles, so it must have been fun. Maden thought it was fun to pull them in to the boat. Then Maden got to go with Ryan and Joseph for a little spin. I thought Ryan's hair was very stylish after being so wind blown.
This is how Molly ended up sleeping for her nap, half hanging off the bed. These were my two sleepy seat mates on our way home after hearing Joseph give a great mission report.
Jared drove truck for Bart for 3 days during spud harvest. That is one of his favorite things to do.
He certainly isn't afraid to help when there's a problem, the piler got plugged up, so he made his way clear up there to clean it out. That was after helping Bart fix some other things in the cellar. The spuds look pretty good.
Molly enjoyed riding in the Spud Truck with Daddy. It was a fun, dirty time.
