I took the boys to a local fair/festival. We enjoyed the parade, fair food, and looked at the booths a bit. But the real treat of the day was an unlimited pass on the inflatable toys. The boys spent almost the whole day playing here. DH might take them back later this evening.

We left late and did not get in until almost 10pm. I rode alone with the boys. They were amazing! We had a great time singing songs and making up new ones. […]
