Wow, it's been busy around here! There's a lot to talk about so I'll start with one event and save the others for another post. Last Sunday I took Matt & Will up to Dallas and we stayed with our very good friends Chris and Alison and their son, Josh. Matthew had been looking forward to that trip for months and months. We spent Monday morning playing at an awesome indoor playground--the thing was HUGE--two stories high and full of slides, tubes, climbing walls, etc. Matt & Josh had a blast. We hit up Chick-fil-A for lunch and then naps for well...all of us. That afternoon we went to a very cool park nearby Alison's house. Matt had no problem finding the state of Texas on this map. Nor where Austin was. I'm so proud!!
Tuesday was Fair day. We met up with Ava and Joy and took all of us to the State Fair. We got a corn dog as soon as the booths opened. All the kids enjoyed them. What's not to like?? Mainly, our next few hours revolved around riding rides, eating delicious fair food, feeding animals, and visiting the on-site Children's Museum. Y'all, it was a big day!
William, bless his heart, did SO well all day. I had him in the Baby Bjorn most of the day and he was so content to watch the big kids play and to observe all the splendor around him. Here's proof that he was there... What I love is comparing Matt vs. Will in that stroller. Matt is spilling out of it and Will's legs don't even reach the end of the seat. HA!
Matt thoroughly enjoyed the rides. He couldn't get enough of them. He wanted to try them all! I've included a lot of pictures because, well, they're all just so darn cute. The sheer joy on their faces is so adorable. Matt & Josh rode on the race car ride together and it whipped them around the corners so fast and they absolutely loved it. They giggled the whole time. It was also funny to watch Matt jockey for position on the rides. He did his very best to sit next to Ava each time. His favorite ride was the boat ride. He did that one twice. 
We fed the animals, and Matt did much better this year feeding them. He neatly poured the food onto the shovel and gently approached the goats. Until he lost patience and then dumped the remaining food from his cup onto the ground in the pen. Oh well! I'm sure they found it.After the animals we had an ice cream break. An orange push-pop for Matt.
The museum was another hit again this year. It was a nice refuge from the rain that was starting outside. The kids hit all the same highlights. After digging up the dinosaur bones we decided it was time to head home. Home as in back to Austin.
Matt snacked while I fed Will in the car and then we took off. And I'm not kidding you, once Matt finished his snack and picked up his blankets, he closed his eyes and he was asleep. This was as we were leaving the Fair parking lot. Will was out as well. It made for a very pleasant drive home. I have the sweetest boys! They were so good and traveled so well. I had so much fun with them. When we got home Matt told Steven all about our adventures. He even re-enacted some of the rides. It was awesome. We can't wait to go back next year!
