A Fun Family Filled Weekend

Micah has been so busy lately.  He has worked all weekend after weekend and back and forth to Camp Verde and Flagstaff.  He text me one day last week and told me that we all we going to the NAU game.  I was excited that we would get to take the kids.  We had a great time.  Sara was the loudest out of the kids.  It was so cute for awhile, everything that Micah shouted out, she did.  She was quite the little cheer person.  Prior to the game we enjoyed some hang out time and food with a few of his friends from Sherman Williams Paint Store.  Sherman Williams puts on a great tailgate party and provides the tickets for us to enjoy the game.

Sunday we got up early and headed to Phoenix for the State Fair.  It was everyone's first time going except for Micah and Dillon.  It was the last day of the Fair and they were going to have free admission and an RV demolition derby.  Micah was excited for the derby, the kids were excited for the rides and I was excited that it was another day of fun with my family.

We got to Phoenix and ate lunch at Apple Bees and then headed to the Fair with our sweatshirts for later, a little draw string bag on each of our backs with a water bottle and we were set!  I'm not much for rides that make you dizzy and flips you up and all over the place but I went on a few.  The kids paired off, the boys and the girls and then Micah and I.  There were so many people, it was crazy.  The lines were extremely long which made it a little frustrating to ride the rides because you had to wait so long.  But despite all the waiting and the people everyone had a good time and rode the rides they wanted too. 

Micah was disappointed about the RV demolition derby.  There were not very many RVs left so it made for a very boring derby.  The highlight and what I actually enjoyed bunches were the big trucks!  They were awesome and so much fun to watch.

We finally left the Fair around 8:30 p.m., it was a long day and we all were very tired and hungry.  We hadn't eaten since lunch.  We went to Wendy's grabbed some food and headed home.  The kids finished a movie in the van and then they went to sleep.  Micah was a little stressed by the time made it home since we hit snow and icy roads as entered Flagstaff.  We made it home safe and sound around midnight.

On Monday morning it was hard getting the kids up and ready for their day but they managed.  Micah and I hung around the house and enjoyed the cold, snowy weather being lazy....napping, movies etc.  It was nice.


I'm extremely thankful for a great weekend with my family.

This is the Sky Flyer ( a big swing) and I did this one with Micah.  It took me a few moments to relax and enjoy the ride.

Sara really like this ride (she went by herself cuz mommy is a wimp)
