We have had a great summer this year, really getting to know our Van Wert surroundings and trying to explore more and more of it each year. Summer is quickly coming to an end and Fall in in the air here. This seasonal transition is always evident when the Van Wert County Fair comes to town! We have gone to the fair for the last 5 years, and this year was no different. In the week leading up to the fair, we drive through town and see the fair rides and the concession stands going up...Cayden immediately knows the FAIR is coming!!
Mya's new "excitement" face!
"We're going to the FAIR!!!"
"Can you believe it?!"
Last year, I let go just a little bit, and let Cayden ride the dragon roller coaster...but that was IT! Even that made me nervous with him, so he really only rode it twice. This year, there has been obvious changes in the way Cyle and I have been handling Cayden. It will always be difficult, but as time goes by, we are really trying more and more to let him explore his own world, and set him free a little bit. So this year at the fair, we met up with our great friends to share a few rides! Even Mya surprised me...I ended up buying both kids a ride wristband for unlimited riding! They both loved it!!
The dragon coaster was Cayden's Favorite! He and his friends Hadley (2 rows back) kept getting off and running right back to the line to get back on!
Mya loved the mini ferris wheel!
Cayden said he "could see the whole world!!"
Then they jumped on the "Big Baby Swing!" Hadley on the far left, and my two on the right! Mya looked so small, but she really liked all the big rides!
See?! Smiles all around!
Another tell-tale sign that Fall is coming is the arrival of Cayden's favorite hunting season...
Squirrel!!
I think he and Daddy went out the very first evening it came in - Cayden even got a brand new squirrel call to help them get those little suckers! He gets such a thrill out of it, and that just makes Cyle so happy!
"Look Mama!! Our first squirrel!"
Even our little hunting dog Ringo had to get in on the fun!
"Yep! I'm a HUNTER!!"
Chilly weekends are spent inside, doing fun activities like painting and Play-doh!
"Isn't Fall Fun, Mya Brynn?!"
