Ending summer break and the Iowa State Fair

This week marked the end of our summer break!  We had Monday-Wednesday trying to enjoy every moment!  Each day we went to the pool and had a lot of fun!

All summer I've been trying to get Mason to go off of the diving board.  He was very leary about it.  This week I got him talked into it!  It took him until the end of our time there Monday, but he did it!  And once he went he didn't want to stop!  On Tuesday he decided to go off of the high dive!  I was so proud of him!  He came such a long way this year in his lessons!

Zane didn't even know this girl, but kept playing with her!

 

I started back to school on Thursday so have 2 days under my belt.  Since we weren't able to get into our building until this week, there was so much to do in a little amount of time.  Matt helped me on Monday get my furniture put in place, and I stayed until 10:00.  Then on Tuesday I went fro about 6:30-midnight, and decided to take Wednesday completely off.  There is still so much to do but a lot also done.

 

Friday we took off for Iowa to go to the fair.  We stayed with my dad (mom was out of town for her class reunion).  Saturday we woke up and headed out to the fair.  The weather was amazing to spend the day there!  The boys wanted to make wax hands, climb on tractors, eat corndogs, and ride the sky glider.  After they had done those things, they were done.  And just wanted to go to the camper.  We were surprised...thinking they'd want to see and do so much more!  We had fun catching up with some of our friends and seeing our family.

 

Ready for the fair!



Zane did great, but I had a hard time making a serious face!

CORNDOG!

Zane wanted a funnel cake!

Wax hands!  Mason ended up making 3 and Zane 2!

I forgot that we got these pictures a couple of weeks ago.  The cutest little tee ball player I've ever seen!

This week will be another busy and crazy one.  We have back to school nights 3 nights in a row, I start school Wednesday, and the boys start Thursday.  Hoping everything goes amazingly well!
