Sandwich Fair!

This weekend we headed to Sandwich to the Annual Sandwich Fair. It was the perfect day!

My pics got a little out of order but here are my little monsters driving the monster trucks.

This fair is HUGE!  One thing that my kids like doing is climbing in the big machines. 




We walked around then to see some animals. They have buildings with cows, horses, pigs, sheep, goats, and even bunnies.  In each building, there is judging too so it's neat to see.

I have my kids take a picture with this every year!



And this was pretty cool too.



Colton came with us and he and Presley walked around for a bit together.  So sweet!


Then we made our way to the petting zoo.  The kids got to pet a baby pig.

And they got to milk a cow!


We also petted some little baby chicks.

Then Evie put her cow milking sticker on the back of Grandpa without him knowing.

We rode the train which takes you around part of the fair.


But we had the wagon too because it is a huge fair.  Colton liked riding with the kids.

Another fun thing there is sitting on the tractors.  Presley had to sit on all of them!








They even had a collection of old fire trucks too!

This tractor could fit Presley and Grandpa!

Colton liked riding with Evie in the wagon again. In fact, he would snuggle right up with him and put his hand on her thigh.  

The kids became part of the engine club and got buttons for shucking corn.



And of course we had to find the giant pumpkins that won prizes.


The annual tire pictures.



Then it was time for rides!  All three of them went on the giant drop.


We went in a couple of fun houses and the kids rode the swings.

They went down the big slide too.

Then we watched Gracie go on the big swings.  


One of the last things we did was go through some campers.  Tons of campers are there that you can walk in and buy.  Gracie was really hoping Grandpa would buy one.  The kids liked the ones with the bunk beds the best.  

And the ones that were big of course too!

Every bunk bed needed to be climbed.

We ended the day by getting some ice cream. It was pretty much the best day ever for them!


Presley's First Cubs Game!

Last weekend Presley got to go to his first Cubs game!  He was so excited and every day leading up to it, he was counting the days.  He had his outfit picked out days before the big game. He got to go with Daddy and Grandpa.  As soon as they got there, they had to buy a program.

And they went and checked out the field.  Presley loved Wrigley Field.


They were hoping to get there early enough during practice to maybe get some autographs but they were pretty much done when they got there.

But they walked around the friendly confines and found the banner of Presley's favorite player.....Rizzo!  Every time we play baseball at home, Presley pretends he is him. 

It was a 90 degree day and they had seats up at the very last row so they were against the fence. At least they had a nice breeze coming through and were out of the sun.

It was a great game according to Presley.  The Cubbies hit a grand slam and someone even got arrested for jumping onto the field.

He even got to meet the Cubby Bear!

Grandpa had fun too even though he is a White Sox fan.  Daddy let him borrow one of his Cubs shirts.

Daddy and Grandpa outside Wrigley Field.



When it's your first Cubs game, you get a certificate with the date to always remember that special experience.  



Presley lucked out and even got his very own Rizzo jersey!  Awesome!

And here are Daddy and Presley before leaving for the game.


I think it's safe to say that Presley LOVED his first Cubs game and can't wait to go back again!


And here's him and Daddy singing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame!"
