Bad Blogger: Sight and Sound

I have been really bad at blogging this last month.  With school starting and a lot of fun things we have been doing, I haven’t  gotten around to it.  I am going to try to catch up this week.

On Saturday morning, August 28, we went to Sight and Sound because it was Kid’s Cookie Break morning.  Kid’s Cookie Break is a Saturday morning kid’s program on the Christian radio station that we listen to.  Right now Sight and Sound Theater is doing productions of Joseph.  This particular morning they had the lobby filled with fun things for children to do.  They had face painting, costumes to try on, actors in costume walking around, and trained animals to pet.  They also had two interactive performances of Joseph for the children to act in.  We went to the 11:00 show and Jordan was picked to be part of the performance.  He was one of the sheaves/stars and part of the Ishmaelite caravan that bought Joseph.  He had a great time.  I told him how great I thought it was that he was courageous enough to participate in fun things like this without being scared/shy.  One of the highlights of his morning was getting his picture taken with Lisa Landis, the host of Kid’s Cookie Break.

First Day of School

 Today was Jordan's (and Mommy's) first day of school.  It is hard to believe that he is now in 2nd grade.  He is glad that his friends, Aiden and Leighland, are in his class, but very disappointed that Taylor is not.

At the Fair

 The fair in our town started on Monday so we walked over (it is close to our house) on Tuesday night to eat supper and walk around.  We didn't see everything because it looked like it was going to rain.  I am sure we will go back later on this week.  Taylor really liked her first fair experience.

Taylor is so excited to get to hold a baby bunny!

Oh, he is so soft!

She was fascinated by the baby chicks that just hatched.

She seemed to like petting the back ends of the animals better than their heads.

This newborn calf just captured Taylor's attention.

Taylor is getting her basket to do Farmer for a Day.

First you gather an egg, then an apple, and finish by digging a potato out of the sandbox.

When you have found all three things you take them to the girl and you get a prize.

Taylor was a great milker of the fake cow.

Jordan was an old pro after all these years of going to the fair.
