Our Fair weather adventure

We tried to go the Boulder County Fair yesterday with our friends Ben, Heather and their 3 young boys to see the Bulldozer 500 event. We got there around 5:30, bought our tickets and a little food and then it started. RAIN. Not just a drizzle or a sprinkle or even a shower but a DOWNPOUR! We took shelter under a tent thinking we could wait it out but we couldn't. The water rose around us and when it let up a bit we moved quickly under a more permanent structure - the entrance to the arena where we were supposed to see the outdoor event. After a lot more rain and a trek back to the car through 6 inches of water and mud, we decided to call it a night. So, we paid around $20 for a light dinner and an adventure in the rain. :) Logan couldn't have cared less - he was mostly dry in his stroller. Connor loved walking in the dirty water!

It was fun though! Next time we'll aim for a cloud free day and will probably complain that it's too hot...

And just a random picture from yesterday! Logan decided that playing with the toys in the play food drawer in the kitchen wasn't enough - he needed to be IN the drawer too
