Fire Station Field Trip

The morning that we left to go to California for Sarah's Aunt Leanna's wedding, she had a field trip at the Fire Station. They had a great program for the kids and they got to see the fire trucks.

Fun at the Circus!

For an early birthday present, Sarah's Gigi (Great-G'ma) bought us tickets for the circus at the end of Sept. It was a lot of fun! Before hand, we got to see some of the animals and met a lot of the performers. Sarah got many autographs, too. It was cool to see them performing up close and personal. It was very cool. Here are a few highlights...

Sarah balancing on the ball!

Getting an autograph!

How small is her hand compared to an elephant's!

Loved the elephants!

The Chinese acrobats were so cool. She was balancing and juggling that table with her feet!

And a huge porcelain pot!

September Play Date

Yup, I'm a month, almost 2 behind! YIKES! In Sept, we went to Gardner Village for our play date. The kids rode ponies, pet the animals in the petting zoo, and took pictures with some witches over there. It was a lot of fun.

Sunny and Gigi were enjoying lunch... Sarah and her Lao Lao playing together Sunny was happy after it was her turn to be upside down!

Fun at the State Fair!

These top 2 photos, my Mom just emailed me, so I added them...She was getting ready to jump with those bungees.

In Sept. my Mom, Sarah's Lao Lao, came for a visit and it just so happened to be the same time as the State Fair. So, we spent an afternoon/evening at the Fair. It was a lot of fun and most of the time was spent with Sarah riding the rides, which wa s a lot of fun for us to watch.

Here she is going down the slide...

And the GIANT slide! That's her int he middle of the slide coming down!
She made it all the way down, and she loved it!

Riding the helicopter...

That's her in the barn the third row from the left on the end!

Spinning around and around and around...

Yes, that's Sarah flipping upside down on the bungee jumping ride. She LOVED it!

Can you believe how high she was?

Jumping and...
Jumping and...

Getting ready for another jump!

It went REALLY fast!

You can see here that Lao Lao has gotten her fill of this one!

Sarah was loving it!

We had a lot of fun at the Fair! This was the first year that Sarah rode the rides and she absolutely loved it! She keeps asking me when it's time to go again!
