a quick trip to eugene

We took a quick trip to Eugene to visit my parents and brother. The kids had a great time as we went to a great park and the Lane County Fair. This slide was so cool....huge. Jack loved it!
Here we are at the fair. This is Jack's first ride. It was kind of boring for him, so each time he passed us he would "roar" at us. It was pretty funny.
This is the only ride that Lauren could ride. The carousel was fun for Lauren at first, but about half way through the ride, she wanted off! It is so funny, that Lauren has no fear around almost everything....but, when it comes to things that move (equipment at the golf course or rides at the fair) she is scared out of her mind.

This was by far Jack's favorite ride. He was laughing out loud the entire time. I don't know how well you can see his face in this picture, but you can tell he is having the best time.Petting the pigsLauren loves animals!

Climbing a tree outside my parents house.

I showed Jack what a headstand looked like the other night, and now he is obsessed with trying to do one himself. This is his best attempt so far. Not bad, but he has a way to go.
On another note, last night while we were home, the kids were running around in the backyard and Lauren stepped on a bee and got stung! Poor girl....she was hurt! Last night, I would hear her cry out while she was sleeping. The only good thing about this, is that Jack saw how much the sting hurt Lauren. Now maybe he will stop beating the bees with his baseball bat in our backyard. We'll see....as he has yet to be stung by one, but now knows how bad they can hurt.
