H.O.T.

I meant to post last night but was too tired. Please forgive me. Yesterday we went with some friends to the Heart of Texas fair (HOT fair - it was hot too!). We all had a good time. One of the main attractions for all of our munchkins was the petting zoo. This was the first time that Alex and Zachary had been that up close and personal with any of these animals.

The next exciting thing was the pony ride. I wasn't sure how our guys would do, especially since one of our friends cried when he got on the pony but they were very good. I walked beside Zachary and he held on to the saddle and didn't try to pull the pony's hair or jump off or anything. (The saddle did have a seat belt just in case!)

We thought we'd try some of the fair rides but Zachary was too little for any of them. Alex could have ridden a few with an adult but he doesn't like them. Instead we played the midway games. This is Chris's favorite thing, I think. He did great and we came home with two more big stuffed animals.

The boys behaved pretty well even without their nap. It's funny how they can miss a nap if we're out of the house doing something fun and be O.K. but if they missed a nap at home they would both be so cranky! We were all tired on the way home and Alex and Zachary slept most of the way.
