summer morning

The other morning we drove out to a local farm that had fields of sunflowers and zinnias for you to pick and take home. We got out there right as they opened at 8 to bet the heat. Charlotte met up with one of her best friends and picked a whole bucket full and brother found rocks and ran up and down the rows :) To top it off we grabbed some peaches and watermelon from the produce stand at the farm and they were the best we have had all season!

Kiddie Carnival

Every year for the past 50 years a little town nearby has a Kiddie Carnival and this year we took the kids and it was THE CUTEST THING IN THE WORLD. They have a dozen rides, all the classics - ferris wheel, scrambler, swings. The best part? You have to be under 42 inches tall to ride, adorable.

Its been fry an egg on the sidewalk hot lately but the evening we went it stormed all day so it "cooled" off and we had some clouds for shade. We grabbed some dinner on the way then jumped right in to riding the rides as soon as we got there.

Charlotte always needs a little extra reassurance with new stuff but once she did the first ride was a-okay.

Brother even got to join in on a few like the merry-go-round and the train. Although I think his favorite thing was roaming all over the place and pulling up grass - typical boy.

It was a perfect summer evening and bonus, the whole thing cost $6.50 :)
