State Fair Fun

Hi everyone, Noah here.  I got to finally attend the Minnesota State Fair this year, and it was awesome! Papa Randy came down to visit and after dropping Elliot off at daycare, we all headed to the State Fair for the day.  The weather was perfect (80 but cloudy) and we spent the day eating, riding on rides, visiting the animal barns, learning how to do chores at the farm, and more eating.  Papa knows how much I LOVE doughnuts, so him and I ate our share of them throughout the day; as well as corn on the cob, pronto pups, chili dogs, ice cream, snow cones, fried pickles, and cheese curds.  When it was time to get on the bus to go home, I had a meltdown.  I wouldn't listen to anyone and was crying and screaming.  The nice lady sitting next to us even offered me one of her Sweet Martha's cookies, but I didn't want it.  The bus driver finally ended up telling me to be quiet, which scared me so I didn't say another word.  Shortly after, I fell asleep in my seat.  I guess I'm not quite old enough to skip nap time yet...sorry mommy and daddy for the embarrassing scene on the bus.  Here are some pictures from our fun day at the fair.

Camping 2012

Okay, so we are a bit behind on blogging...what else is new??  We will try to catch up and then stay on top of things (yeah right).  Back in August, we got to spend a super fun weekend camping with our friends.  You heard right, camping-the 'in-a-tent' kind.  12 kids, 14 adults...no, we are NOT crazy!  We were brave enough to camp with 12 kids ranging in age from 7 months to 6 years old, along with their parents.  Us kids had such a great time (and rumor has it the adults did too, even our mommy, who thought of every excuse to not go along).  We can't wait to go again next year! Here are a few pictures from our fun weekend in the wilderness :)

Shoes!

Noah is OBSESSED with shoes....flip flops, crocs, running shoes...the list goes on.  He also is trying a few new styles as shown below.  I guess he wants to fill both mommy and daddy's shoes when he grows up :)

Trying on Daddy's Shoes...love the X-mas jammies 
How about these heels?
Look at those legs!
