Salinas Valley Fair 2018

I don't know why, but it's hilarious to me that this is my third year in a row going to this fair. But that's the benefit of my parents living in the same town as the fair! Free lodging, and lots of help with the kiddos! Unfortunately, Sean had to stay behind again this year to study. Next year maybe?

As we drove south out of Gilroy, there was this cloud cover over Salinas. It was very ominous looking! Lol!

Sleepy baby! Sleeping in a new house had no impact on her sleep at all, which was so nice!

Friday morning, we went to Jenny's friends, the Black's, house, to meet their puppy, and go on a little walk! The boys were a little wary of the dogs at first, but quickly warmed up, and Mason got a kick out of throwing one of their dogs her toy. After our walk, the boys played cars while I nursed Cori. We then went home and took naps, and after naps, Mason just wanted to hug Aunt Jenny! <3 p="">

Then we went to the fair! This year was BY FAR the best fair year. Oh man! Mason was so brave. Like, no fear whatsoever. He went on every ride he was tall enough for multiple times! And Luke mustered up the courage to ride the few he was allowed to, and rode each a few times :) Mason's face after he got off each ride was priceless! He said his favorite was the giant slide, and Luke said his favorite was the dragon roller coaster. Which is hilarious, because he hated it lol. Also, pony ride and wristbands courtesy of Grandma Jones. Thanks Mom!!

The Amgen Bike Tour was in CA this past week, and one of the days they stopped and rode around Salinas Valley. The fair had a contest where people could decorate a bike tire. This was the winner! Made from all bike parts. I love it! 

We spent the rest of the weekend at my parents. On Saturday morning, Katie and Alex came up to meet baby Cori! We lazed around on Saturday, and went to church Sunday.

Literally, Katie has been a godsend with this little girl! Her carseat, car seat cover, nursing cover, and half her clothes came from this amazing mama. Love you Katie!

Wearing Grandpa's hat!

Cuddles with Grandpa!

It's so nap time... this was mid tantrum.

Milk drunk before we drove away Monday morning.

Everyone slept the second half of the drive. It was marvelous!!

Thanks Mom, Dad, and Jenny for a super fun weekend! Love you!
