The Oregon Country Fair

It was that time of the year again!  This year was different for us as Parker was with us the entire weekend.  She had a blast and so did we!  We saw so many new parts of the fair we normally wouldn't because she was with.  It was a great experience for all of us!  Before the real fun could begin there was some last minute work to be done, which Parker loved to help with!
 A new addition to camp was the parachute!  It created a great camp vibe.
At night we decked out Parker's stoller, walked around looking at all the lights and listened to some good music.  Parker loved it!!
There are entire loops of the fair dedicated to kids.  Needless to say we spend a lot of time there.  This was a musical wall that Parker and Aaron really enjoyed.
The last day of the fair Parker got her face painted as a kitty, per her request!  
The closing music act was amazing!  We were all loving it, dancing around, looking at all the fun larger-than-life puppets...
 But then the large sun puppet got a little too close for Parker's comfort...
...and she clung to Aaron and needed her pacie asap!  But over all, it was  great year at the OCF!

The Month of July in a Nut Shell!

I have no idea where the time has gone...and that I haven't posted on here in a month!  So here goes our month of July in a nut shell!

My mom came out and stayed a week over the 4th.  She had a ton of one-on-one Parker time and vice-versa.  
Nana Sue bought a new pool, which Parker loves!
 We spent a day at Cottage Grove Lake.  Aaron brought the boat out, it was a great relaxing day!  
Complete with a nap for Parker and Grandma...

The Haircut
Aaron finally said he had enough and had our friend Bryan come over and shave his hair.  It looks great!  Not sure what Parker thought was going on though...

The First Outting on the Boat!
Well, we bought a drift boat.  Needless to say Aaron is in heaven.  He has been out on it a few times, Parker and I have been out once.  There will be more trips to come once Parker realizes that we can't go swimming all the time or just get off the boat.  But she did have a blast looking for fish!
