well it was a Wonderful Wednesday last

My cute friend invited Chloe and me to this fun Children's Discovery museum. Chloe gets along so well with all her kids. Chloe thinks she's 7 (like Kaylee), wishes she was 4 and relates to 4 (like Brodee) and is actually 2 (like Hattie) So it makes for very good fun. We really like this little family.
I love any chance to pose a shot of a future doctor. She takes herself very seriously as you can see. You are not seeing that after this shot she went around and started checking people's hearts.
Is it okay that I let Chloe eat the plastic food. She was really into this sandwich.
This was the neatest thing. The kids just painted this window and then there was a trough of water in front of them that they washed their brushes in and started over. My little artist!
Later that night we went to the county fair where 4H is a big deal and food and rides are ghetto as ever. It was free and fun. Seriously, why did this guy stand in the "ugly/leftover" line in heaven?
We spent no money on rides or entry to the fair but we spent on treats. That's for sure. We each had one. I got the funnel cake, B-rad and his Kettle Corn (the best is still at a little stand at the Stinger's Games in Utah) and Chloe with her icecream. (she looks a little crazy in the photo...icecream will do that to a girl) 
The best part is that we ate about 2/3 of the funnel cake which was about 1/3 too much and we decided to chuck it before the fat collected behind our ears and our cheeks started burning so we put the napkin on it and headed for the trash. I didn't get a step before I felt a tug on my arm and this woman next to me said, "are you throwing that away?" I knew where this was going and I said, "yes" and then she asked if she could have it. She ate away on our soon to be discarded food. Seriously, that may be something you think but that is something you never ever actually act upon. Happy to help her out. I may have been more surprised but about a month earlier I accidently had 2 frosties and only wanted 1 and I offered the other one to this lady at a park and she gladly accepted. Maybe when I think about eating that untouched food on someones empty table at a restaurant I will do it next time!!
Best icecream I may have eaten in a long long time. It was soft serve twist cone but instead of basic chocolate as the twist is was chunky cookies and cream. I wanted to try all 4 flavors. They also had mint cookie, reeses, and sprinkle. Oh man it was a little piece of perfect that I will have to wait for next year. I considered googling it but then thought better of it. I will be okay with my Eddy SMORES icecream for the time being.
We had some friends there who owned some sheep and let Chloe get right in there and feed her. Her name is Jelly Bean.
This girl is all about tractors and trains and trucks but she loves her dresses too.
Last night, B-rad went to Nauvoo as the volunteer medic person for the Nauvoo pageant. He left at 130 and returned at 2 in the morning. Chloe and I had a little girls night out complete with Nachos and hot chocolate and a movie. I taught her how to get in her jammies and cuddle up in front of the t.v. with mom. I figure we will have a lot of these during residency so why not get started now.
First time mowing the lawn. Not for Brad but yes for Chloe. That's good because I would rather die than mow the lawn. So between her, Brad and Ezra we are covered.

Chloe is looking so much more grown-up! What a cute gal! So...I can't believe someone asked you about your funnel cake and then ate it. I don't love wasting food...but the thought of eating a stranger's left-overs? That's crazy! I couldn't do it...unless I was STARVING or it was for my kids (who were starving. But, even then...I think I'd have a hard time. So...kudos to her and you for enjoying that funnel cake to the last bite! :)

That children's museum looks awesome, how fun. I can't believe your country fair is free. The one here is like $15. Mmmm funnel cake, I think I would have asked for yours too. Guess I'll have to wait for Red Barn.

Edy's S'mores is so good! I can't believe she ate your leftovers. Yikes.
