Auntie Wanda Visits!!!

We had a great time visiting with Auntie Wanda this past weekend! Our big day was Sunday when we went to the Texas State Fair! We took the Dart which is the similar to the CA Blue Line. The kids enjoyed the train ride which reminded them of our train ride in Russia. They were recounting how they slept on the train last time around.

The kids enjoyed super long hot dogs which are their favorite! They ate every bite!

We started the day by getting the kids' faces painted. Of course, Zack picked Spiderman, and Sophia picked a kriska (cat)!!! Both are their favorites!
As you can tell Sophia is like her Auntie Gina. She did not like having her eyes touched!

And, here are the finished products! Both kids were thrilled!

They had a fun time going through this imaginary farm exhibit. It was a lot of work. They milked a cow, planted veggies, rode a tractor, and gathered some wool. All of it was fake, but it was great fun for them. They had never planted a see before so it was a totally new concept for both of them. I often forget about the little things they still haven't experienced. It just seems like they have been part or our family FOREVER!!!! It is hard to believe that it has only been 6 months!


They even had safari animals!!! We thought about Jimmy Wanda's nephew as he loves giraffes!!!

They loved feeding the animals! Well, Zack was a little scared, but we helped him conquer his fear by having him feed a baby animal!

Zack was super brave! He wanted to go on the slide so badly that he went alone! We were close by watching, and he was safe. He had a blast!!!

That fair is way better than any CA fair - you don't have to be afraid of some gang banger shooting you!

I got to hear some of Wanda's stories - sounds like you all had a great time. The kids look darling as usual.

Has it only been 6 months? Amazing!

Second - beat Gina!
