Landon at the Amusement Park

Landon enjoyed his time at the Amusement Park today, too (see previous post for pics of Logan). He doesn't enjoy riding on any of the rides yet, except for the train. I tried to get him to ride the carousel with me, but he wanted nothing to do with it (Jeff and my dad found that out too on Friday night when they took the boys to ride rides). At just under 2 years old, he was content watching all of the people and watching Logan ride the rides for now. Other than loving the train, he also loves the playground that is at the Amusement Park. As you can see in one of his pictures, he is quite a dare devil, using the brick wall surrounding the park as a balance beam! Of course, he also enjoyed going to Bob's for "fre fries"...his favorite food! Maybe next summer Landon will be ready to try some of the fun rides at the Amusement Park!

Logan at the Amusement Park

Today Jeff's boss had a summer celebration for everyone that works at MWI. My mom watched the boys while they were taking a nap, and during that time Jeff and I went for a company boat ride on the Queen which also included a wonderful meal catered by Yesterday's. After the boat ride, Jeff and I went home to get the boys and take them on rides at the Amusement Park...Jeff's boss got everyone and their family members day passes to the park. This post just includes pictures of Logan at the Amusement Park and I will include Landon's pictures from the day in my next post. Logan pretty much loves all of the kiddie rides EXCEPT for the kiddie roller coaster...it goes just a little too fast for Logan's liking. We found that out Friday night when Jeff and my dad took the boys to ride rides and the ride operator had to stop the roller coaster and let Logan off because he was crying and freaking out! He DID enjoy riding on the fishies, boats, carousel, and of course his absolute favorite...the TRAIN! He also always likes to play at the playground in the Amusement Park, so we did that too. After a couple of hours of riding rides, we decided to have supper at Bob's Dogs and then head home for baths. It was a great afternoon!

Dallas Singing at the Iowa State Fair

This past weekend, my cousin Dallas was invited to sing at the Iowa State Fair. This was her 2nd year of performing there. She stayed busy by doing one show Friday morning at the Anderson-Erickson Pavillion, and then 2 shows at a bar and grill located on the fairgrounds (Jalepeno Pete's) - Friday afternoon and Saturday afternoon. My mom and I went to watch her sing and also had a great time visiting the fair and doing lots of shopping in Des Moines. We also got to spend a little time with my aunt Donna (Dallas' mom) and my aunt Debbie which was fun. It was a great weekend and Dallas did a wonderful job at her shows!
