4th of July Adventure









well, team wellborn and team landers went to the Marin County Fair to celebrate the 4th of July... fun adventure. we checked out the farm (some really COOL chickens/roosters were on display for the judging!) and patrick served as aidan and stella's personal shuttle ride by grabbing them up and carrying them from exhibit to exhibit.. I honestly think they enjoyed that more (so much giggling!) than seeing the animals!


Stella loved the rides (she and aidan went on a car one and a swing one), but aidan wasn't a big fan of them at all! They just BARELY were able to go on the rides at all, since you have to be 36" tall and they cut it pretty close. Stella wanted to go on the "huge" rides, like the giant ferris wheel, but she wasn't tall enough (48" - another foot to grow!).


sammy thought the whole thing was a bit overwhelming, I think -she and baby ty just relaxed in their mommys' slings watched all the people and colors all around.. and stella looked so cute in her 4th of July shirt from grandma and grandpa neuman.


They also played a few games on the midway and won useless stuffed animals and balloon toys.. but it was fun, nonetheless! We are fair food and someone tried to steal christine's treo right from our table while the dads and babies were watching the fireworks (mommies and toddlers were off to the "potty" for yet another time).

Stella was pretty freaked out by the fireworks - she said they scared her and she thought they were "beautiful, but TOO scary" - aidan dug them though... quite interesting how they are so brave and afraid of completely different things ...
