bat caves part 2

the bat cake, enchaladas and guacamole are what Obed chose to have at his party

everyone got glow sticks, glow rings, glow necklaces, a flashlight, a (homemade) batman cape that had elastic for around the neck and wrists (i thought elastic was safer than ribbon for the neck), a batman mask, and a tote for all their loot.

i think he had fun.....

rulage

heres what our blacked out kitchen looked like in the light. believe it or not the kids played in here most of the night with their glowsticks and flashlights. its amazing how much fun kids can have with simply a flashlight and a dark room.

we caught this guy after cleaning up.....it was an awesome birthday

its all right there at the fair

i know ive been terrible this summer with posting. i cant help it! theres too much sunshine, we've been out almost all summer. no time for the computer.

when september hits, i think things will start to go back to normal. ive never really been a summer person until this year, i just dont want it to end!

started out with a coffee in my new glass from a place aaron and i ate at on our anniversary trip....he took me to silverwood....and a few other stops.

off to the fair!

friendly baby cow

axle noticed their sleeping position. does this look weird to anybody else?

harley at the "knights of the realm" jousting.....awesomeness. my only description.....pure awesomeness.

ferris wheel panic!!!!

tractor pull...both of the boys made it to the finals, but neither won. sooooo fun!! i cant believe this was our first year doing this. we had a blast!

a great end to a fair day....eating an elephant ear while watching the beach boys in concert....i love the beach boys!
