Today was an amazing day, filled with adventure, fun, lots of laughs and many memories made.
The day started off pretty early. The out of town families are not finding a lot of peace in hotel leaving, so they were up and raring to go bright and early. We scarfed down some breakfast, cleaned up and got ready for the day much earlier than we're used to (not that it's not totally worth it). The families arrived at our house, we visited for a little while, packed up all of the kids and were on our way to to State Fair.
We spent a good 6/7 hours there. Wandering around, putting the kids on rides (well, just the big slide for Olivia, of course), eating lots of tasty food and I having a blast getting to know our "new" friends. It was a little chaotic trying to keep such a large group of people together, so we broke apart a few times and did our own thing, which was good. The girls had a great time, eating, people watching. We attempted the Butterfly house...Olivia was terrified, and Amelia wanted to hold them, but obviously she would have crushed them. LOL.
Finally, we were all exhausted, the kid were getting anxious, our feet were aching and our bellies were full...so, we were on our way out.
The other families stopped back to their hotel to rest and clean up for a bit, and the girls went down for a short nap when we got home. The families came back over to our place so we could all spend the evening together. We ordered some pizza, the bigger kids played out in the jump house while the little kids destroyed the house. The adults were engulfed in the show "Hoarders" for a while, which was actually pretty hilarious. The men, and big kid, eventually made their way outside to the fire pit, leaving the mom's and babies time to bond. It was so amazing actually having them in our house, live and in color. I haven't laughed so hard in a LONG time...getting to know each other, watching the "babies" interact and play with each other. It was just such a good feeling hanging out when all of them. It makes me sad to know they'll be leaving tomorrow! Our time together just flew by!
Here are some pictures from our day today. What a great day!
