Festivals, Fairies, and Fairs, Oh My!

The past week has been a busy one, so there's lots to catch up on. We welcomed the cooler weather with lots of fun! First off, Peach Days up in Brigham City on Saturday. We got caught in a rainstorm at the end, but managed to pack in a good time first.

 Carousels and giant slides. Reagan's favorites! Chiara and Asher were big fans too.

 And a new experience for Reagan- going on a ride all by herself! She started off strong...

 ...but slowly lost some steam...

 ...and spent the majority of the ride like this:

 She still had a good time, and it was pretty funny to watch as she leaned over further and further.

 Daryn was actually awake for once, and very happy until she started getting rained on while she was trying to eat. That did not go over well.

Reagan made a new friend on the dragon ride, and even let her drive.

 Sunday I woke up with a raging cold (perhaps related to getting soaked in the rain the day before?) and had to skip church, but Lance was sweet enough to make me homemade chicken noodle soup when he got home :).

 Despite being sick, we powered on through with our plans for the week. Next: the Fairy Festival on Monday! It's a beautiful fundraiser put on by one of Lance's partners- the "Jones" in Brunson, Chandler and Jones. All the girls dress up like fairies and the boys like pirates and there's games and prizes and treats and shopping. The girls all had a blast!

 Even Daryn joined in!

 Reagan was on a total sugar high by the end of the night.

So beautiful and magical!

 

Love having a newborn buddy to hang out with. Great timing Stuart and Gen!

After that night, we had a couple days to recover before

the Utah Sate Fair! This has always been a favorite of Lance and I's, mostly because of the food. (Hello, roasted turkey legs.)

 Reagan was thrilled to see what I think was her first real live rainbow as we were parking.

 And just as thrilled to see her first real live owl!

 Daryn was not so excited.

 We went on more rides.

Reagan wasn't a bit scared to be up high on the Ferris wheel. That girl is fearless! Thankfully, Lance was able to keep her from jumping out. After a long night of fun, we were all tucked out and ready to head home, since Lance and I both had to be up very early the next day. We both had to be in Salt Lake by 8 am- he for a CLE and I for Daryn's doctors appointment at Primary Children's. More on that coming...
