Grandma's visit - part 1

Grandma came to visit last Thursday.  While the kids hadn't seen her since our visit to WI last October, they warmed right up to her and within minutes were reading on the couch.


After a quick tour of the new house, we were off for the Montgomery County Fair!  We've meant to go the last two years but something or another always seems to come up.  We're so glad we went, though.  There were rides, lots of food, the kids got to see and pet all sorts of farm animals, there were fire trucks and emergency vehicles, and, of course....


Monster Truck Madness!  Will brought one of his little monster trucks (Backdraft) and the real one was actually there so Will was over the moon - very cool.


We got the kids earplugs but it was no use. After 10 minutes or so, Stella absolutely lost it so Patti walked out with her.


About 20 minutes later, after the pop-a-wheelie competition and the first of many drag races, Will asked to leave too.  He had a blast, though, and the whole fair itself was a ton of fun.  We'll be back next year (with headphones).
