The Fair

On July 13th, we took the children to the Orange County fair. We especially enjoyed the farm animals. Mercy was excited to see the dairy cows. When she went for a closer look one turned and MOOOED very loudly in her face, frightening her. Joshua was able to pet some baby chickens and watch a litter of piglets nurse. Joshua and Mercy found a new friend!

Joshua's first time driving a bumper car all by himself.

Mercy dragged Jason on the bumble bees.

 

The Fourth of July

This year Jason & I hosted my family's annual Fourth of July picnic and firework show. We set up tables & chairs in the front yard, & had way too much food. By firework time we had about 30 people! This was the first year that Joshua stayed outside to watch fireworks.

We also were celebrating my sister, Marina's birthday!

Mercy's first sparkler!

After we dragged Joshua off the dance floor to leave, he was dancing in the parking lot.

Joshua & Mercy Hit the Dance Floor!

Once Joshua and Mercy got started, there was no stopping them!

Aren't they cute!

Joshua dancing with the ladies.

Joshua danced with me, but moms tend to cramp their sons' style on the dance floor so that didn't last long.

Joshua really knows how to get down into himself!
