Wester Montana State Fair

The kids watching a cow milking demonstration. They were pretty intrigued!

The kids at the petting zoo. Riley is looking a little bored. I think he may be getting a little old for the petting zoo. The other kids seemed to enjoy it however. Brock was so excited to see all of the different animals and he would scream and point every time they made a different sound (see pic below.) The only bummer about the fair was that we went the first day it opened and the rides weren't open yet. I enjoyed looking at the other stuff at the fair but apparently the kids were not as interested as I was...rides sound like more fun. We did eat a little fair food and we came back in the evening to go to a Third Day concert. It was such a great concert! We took the kids as well and they enjoyed it too! All in all it was a fun day at the fair!

Swim lessons begin!

We just started swim lessons today. The kids are taking lessons at Splash Montana, our local outdoor water park for the next two weeks. They were a little hesitant to go, especially Riley, as you can tell by the look in his picture. But once we got there and they started lessons they really enjoyed it. They class format was great. They moved the kids to different areas to swim which included swimming around the lazy river. Jordan thought that was pretty cool. I enjoyed the some semi-quiet time while they were in the water from 10:00-10:45 (I dropped Brock off at busy hands, a local drop off daycare that he loves!) I might even take a book and get to read the next few days! That would be a treat! We are also planning on staying at the park after lessons a couple days so the kids could play.
