I was able to bring the kids to the Evergreen State Fair because of a special they were having that if you brought food for a food drive, you got your entry to the fair for free! We had a blast and it was such a nostalgic thing for me, having grown up doing 4H, fair was a huge part of my life and I hadn't been to one in a very long time. I got really emotional as we were walking in and at a couple points during our time there, but thankfully I didn't cry. We rode the carousel, ate a funnel cake and wandered through the animal barns, just to name a few things we did that day.
Then, that same day in the evening, Jon and I got to go to a Mariners game! That was fun too! Jon had got the tickets from a lady at work who couldn't go, and Jessie watched the kids for us. We had impressive seats, only about 25 feet back from the 3rd base line and even though our team lost, we had a good time.
A couple days ago, I pulled out our colored salt for the kids to play with and practice their letters and spelling words. I also colored some salt for Heidi since I hadn't yet. I colored hers a really pretty lavender.
And lastly, thanks to Pinterest, I got this idea for making a baby sling for Heidi. My mom had given me this beautiful corduroy fabric and I just couldn't wait to do something with it! It was a quick sew up and Heidi thinks it's pretty cool. I made it a little big so it would last her a few years.

I miss going to fair! Some day you guys have to come over when our fair is on!
You have some great shots of you and Jon together. Time for reprints.
And the sling is a fun project!
