County Fair


We gave the kids a choice this year of going to Six Flags or going to the fair. The crazy kids chose to go to the fair much to Jason's disappointment. Even Kayla wanted to go to the fair. Anyway so that is what we did and I managed to get one pic of Kayla before she ran into some friends and took off with them for the rest of the night. We didn't hear from her until she needed money!! She did get on this ride willingly I might add and I might black mail her with this one day!

Kaden had a blast and was very adventerous.

Keaton had a great time too. We even managed to get him on a couple of the bigger rides this year. Some of them he liked and some he did not!!

This was a huge pirate ship that they climbed and then slide down. This one was a hit with the two of them.

This had to be the most boring ride at the fair. They were begging to get off by the end. It went so slow and they gave them a really long ride. I was afraid it was going to put them to sleep. we had a great time but next summer we are getting season passes to Six Flags!

Animal Safari


The kids had a couple days off of school in October so we decided to take them to the Pine Mountain Animal Safari. Jason took the day off work so he could join us. Don't you like our new ride?!

You rent these lovely vans and drive through the park and they have all sorts of animals that can and do come up to your car for food. They will take the food right out of your hand.


Keaton and Kaden loved to feed the deer. Those were their favorites and they were the calmest!

We saw cool zebras, giraffes, bulls, oxen, elk, buffalo, hogs, camels.

This guys tongue grossed me out. It reminded me of Jaba the hut's tongue off of star wars. I threw him his food!!

We all had a lot of fun and we liked it better than going to the zoo.

This is the ostrich that almost took some of Kayla's fingers off. We stayed away from them after that.

They also had a walk thru area where there were bears, monkeys, lions, tigers, and of course my favorite snakes to look at in their cages.

Aww! Isn't he cute?

Chomp!

Air Show


We took the boys to an air show up at Dobbins AirForce Base in October. It was free and very popular. Tons of people were there. In fact we were supposed to go on Saturday with Jenny and Ben and Greg and Lara but we had to turn around and go back home because it would have taken us too long to get in and we had to get back for the kids soccer games that afternoon. We came back on Sunday when we could enjoy ourselves and not have to worry about the time so much.

We had a blast touring some of the jets and watching the jets!

They got to sith in this jet and try on the helmets. We were lucky because we got in lint right before they were shutting it down so Keaton and Kaden were the last ones to get to do it.

Kaden's helmet is a little big!
