Saturday presented us with an opportunity to do whatever it was we wanted with a free day. That doesn't happen much these days so we decided to take the kids out to the fair in Blackfoot.
The kids thought it was AMAZING! They got to choose a couple rides to go on.
Dad snacked while he watched them laughing their heads off.
I got to ride a "scary" ride with Alissa because none of the other kids wanted to and she was too short to go alone. We had fun laughing... well I did. She said she was too scared to scream or laugh so she was quiet however she did say it was fun. ha ha
Their favorite was the kid swings. Ella especially thought it was fun which cracks me up a little. She is just a mild child and that's just great.
The girls all had big smiles the whole time.
Dad got to ride the big fun slide with the kids.
We walked through booths and just had a good time being together. There is always 1,000,000 people at the fair so we decided it might be better and cheaper to go eat at a restaurant where we don't have to worry about somebody taking off with a kid or trying to eat while standing and holding a paper plate because there is pretty much no where to sit with a family of 6.
We decided on Texas Roadhouse because the kids had earned free meals with the library reading this summer. When we got there we had about a 30 minute wait and Dustin was upset about it. After probably 10 minutes he decided we needed to go so I walked up to the counter to see how much time we had left and a table for us came open. When I turned around to tell Dustin I realized he had taken Lincoln and went to the car. I had to convince the girls to stand still against the wall and I ran out to get him. We got seated and Ella decided she needed to use the bathroom. A few minutes later but not before Ella got back Molly decided she also needed to use the bathroom so Dustin took her and told her to stay with Ella in the bathroom and come back to the table. They came back and Ella told us she felt sick. She sat down for only a second and decided she needed to go outside because she needed some air. After returning and feeling frustrated by the 3+ times somebody has left our table and the other monkeys who won't stay seated I asked the waitress if she can just bag our foot to go. I took the kids and sat in the car and waited for Dustin to come out with our now to go order. Of course now Ella is feeling much better and nobody is really hungry because the massive amount of rolls and honey butter and water we ate while sitting at the table for the 10 minutes we sat there. :) ha ha!! Wow.. I think maybe next time we should order a pizza. This is becoming our normal life with a family of 6.
