So... as has been pointed out to us, we have not updated the blog since "A day at the zoo", which has been quite a while. A few things have happened since then. Nothing all that exciting. We'll catch up with a few entries. This one will cover the rest of the summer.
A visit from Sadie
Lynden and Britta left for a vacation for a week, and Sadie needed a place to stay, so she came and spent the week with us. Boy, did she have a good time! She had a walk every morning (it was in the summer, so it was nice out and there was sunlight - not sure it would have been as exciting in the winter). We played lots of tug o war. In the picture above we are playing fetch with one of the new toys she got while staying at our house (one is still here just in case she comes over again). We also became the most popular people on our street - at least to the kids. They all came over when Sadie was in the back yard. We have not seen the kids since (except to take Halloween candy from us). Overall, Sadie had a great time. We heard she was a little depressed at home for the first couple of days, but that's understandable when you don't get to hang around with us anymore.
State Fair
Megan and I made our annual trip to the State Fair in September. It was a beautiful day out. We ate more than we could handle. We also met up with Katie and Annie. We visited lots of fun stuff. We saw lots of animals, and went down the giant slide (Annie squealed on the way down - she went twice). Annie was passing out by the end of the day. We also met up with Britta and Lynden towards the end of our day (they were just starting theirs).
Babysitting Leah
We also had a chance to babysit Leah for the first time. As long as we were moving around, Leah was having a great time. We had a great time the whole time. Overall, I think it was a successful job as babysitters; she did get a little upset after dinner (it may have gotten her a little gassy), but after that, she passed out and didn't wake up until mom and dad were home (picture of her sleeping above).
That's all for the summer!
