Two weeks ago while we were in Moses Lake, Thea was baptized at Living Word. Aunt Amy and Uncle Chad were her sponsors, but lots of family was there to be part of the day.
Thea was awake some of the day also.
Here are some more pictures as a slideshow for you to look at.
The title refers to it was time for the Grant County Fair, not a fair time had. It was actually a pretty good time. It was a hot day so we decided to try and go in the morning thinking it might be marginally cooler than the afternoon. It was, but marginally cooler than 103F isn’t saying much. When we went we met Grandma (Hall), Aunt Kelli, and Nicholas.
The first order was to see animals, a sure fire winner with Danelle. One of the more interesting animals was this cow with sparkles on it’s back. Not sure what the story behind the sparkles were, but they weren’t water drops like I first thought.
Danelle had fun with Grandma looking at chickens and bunnies.
And she got to touch a sheep which the owner kindly brought out for her to touch. Nicholas wandered off before he could pet it.
Notice one of the other girls helpfully had hand sanitizer out and ready to go as soon as Danelle was done. A very helpful 4H group.
Other highlights were looking at the agriculture hands on display from the Pacific Science Center. Danelle was determined to auger some corn while Nicholas looked on.
Of course to Nicholas standing in the corner was also pretty interesting, so not sure if the auger really impressed him much.
Maybe he just gets in trouble a lot and he is used to his parents putting him in corners. (Just Kidding!)
Aunt Kelli then helped both of the kids look at some things.
After all of that, Nicholas must have gotten tired.
I just found him in an empty building like this. Not sure who was supposed to have been watching him. Might have been me, but I’m not sure.
After that we got lunch. I had space burgers and most of the other people had tater dogs, what more could you ask for. Danelle also was pretty insistent on an ice cream cone, but seemed happy with the cotton candy she eventually got, which melted to half its size by the time we got back to the house and let her open the bag.
Oh and Thea did go with us, but she just didn’t do much but sleep. She’s a great kid, just doesn’t do much for interesting stories quite yet, there’s only so many ways to say she slept through something.
A few weeks ago we had a few errands to run at stores next door to each other. When we got there we saw more cars in the parking lot then ever before. It was the 35th or something anniversary of the pet store there, which we had told Danelle we would stop at and let her pet the bunnies. After doing that her and I walked to the next store. On the way back, she told me she wanted a snack, which seemed reasonable as it was snack time for her. Then she got more specific and wanted a snack from where we were, in particular blue ice cream, on a stick. It took me a while to realize what she was talking about, but eventually she ended up with this.
Which a bit later ended up like this.
Overall she seems to like cotton candy it seems.
Also, since I’m writing, here is a picture of Thea.
She likes to look around a lot.
And finally here is a picture of Danelle pretending to be a cheetah.
Big Sister likes to show Little Sister how things work some days. Sometimes they really have a fun time together.
And then Little Sister will often get tired of the game they are playing.
Thankfully she often starts to think it is fun again for at least a little bit longer.
Oh and bonus points if you noticed the toe in the first picture before reading this far. 
When I stood up a few nights ago, this is what I saw.
In case it isn’t clear, this is from a different angle.
And the answer to the obvious question is no, Danelle did not do this, he crawled under there after she went to bed.
