Abby & Alex Visit AND The State Fair

We've had a fun and busy weekend around here.  On Thursday evening, my mom and Abby came up.  Mom stayed for dinner and a tour of our new house and then headed home and Abby stayed a couple days.

Friday, we pretty much just hung around the house.

Playing a little baseball and golf...





And a little swinging...



Then, Abby killed a ginormous bee/wasp...(it was pretty comical)

What a fun day, with a sweet boy!

Then on Saturday, we headed over to Springfield to the Illinois State Fair.  The weather was really nice, so we spent the morning looking at the animals, checking out the sights and deciding what to eat for lunch!  Ethan had a great time and liked the goats the most, I think. 

Hanging with the goats in his pig hat.  He kept saying 'I like these goats!'

The infamous Butter Cow.  Yes, it's carved completely out of butter!
