First on Friday Joey & Nali picked Hannah up from school, did lots of playing and then we created a bed for Joey so he could sleep in Hannah's room with her...here is a picture just before bedtime stories:
On Saturday Hannah and Joey got up around 6:45am and I listened to about a 20 minute conversation between the 2 on the monitor...that was hilarious. The two did some more playing and running around. We took Tulip for a walk and as you can see here the kids went crazy running in the field
We also stopped at the park briefly for some slide fun before heading home to head off to Hannah's gymnastics.
Then it was off to gymnastics where normally Hannah has tons of energy but she was already fading by now. Then we went to the Farmer's Market where Hannah and Joey rode the Merry-Go-Round:
After some more playing at the park there it was off to home to take a nap (for both Hannah & I). After a 3 hour nap for Hannah and a 2 hour nap for me we woke up and all went to the pool. By now Adam's aunt had come up to visit for Adam's mom's birthday (her sister) and so we had quite the group heading off to the pool.
After some late afternoon swimming we all went out to dinner to Bistro 33 to celebrate Nali's birthday and afterwards there was a band there so of course there was some dancing to be done:
After dinner to was back home for some birthday pie and presents and the kids finally went to sleep around 9pm! The whole gang spent the night.
On Sunday we all went to the Yolo County Fair to have fun and say hi to Adam who was working the beer booth for the West Plainfield Station Fire Dept. Joey & Hannah were really excited to be going...here they are with their excited smiling faces headed to the fair:
When we got there we of course first stopped by to say hi to Adam in his beer booth:
When we got there the rides had not yet opened up so we looked at some animals:
Joey & Hannah were dying for the rides to open at noon and when they finally did here is Hannah's face filled with excitement when she saw them start working:
Now they say this is the only "free" fair left in the state...yeah well it is free to get in but then they get you on the rides and everything else. We spent about $65 on all the rides b/c of the two kids and the fact that most of the rides an adult had to accompany them. I of course was not that adult thanks to this sign on every ride:
Even though I couldn't go on any rides...which I was pissed about...Adam's mom & aunt went and had a great time and even Adam got away from his beer booth for one ride...so here is what we spent $65 on:
Merry-Go-Round:
Dragon Spinning tea cup like thing:
Whale spinning up and down thing (Hannah loves this one!):
Dragon Roller Coaster:
Really slow train ride but Hannah enjoyed being in the engine and "driving" everyone around the track (by the way that is Adam's aunt on the ride with her):
Caterpillar Roller Coaster:
Truck "roller coaster"...
Hannah saw Joey on this ride so of course she had to go too:
There were a few more but my camera ran out of batteries and so was I in a sense. We were there until 2pm and we were tired!! Even though everyone was tired Hannah still cried on the way out that she wanted to go back.
We got home said good-bye to Adam's mom, Adam's aunt & Joey and went down for a nap. But still when she woke up she woke up crying that she missed her Joey & Nali and it was hard to console her b/c she had such a good time with them. Both on Sunday & last night Hannah cries out "JOEY!!" as she is laying in her crib b/c she misses him and wants him sleeping with her in her room again. Poor thing! At least they had a lot of fun and got to spend a lot of great time together. As I said Hannah is very lucky to have such great cousins she gets along with...it is fun to watch her have all that fun with them b/c I never experienced that. :(

After reading your post, I am going to go take a nap! You must have been totally wiped out - lots of fun and excitement! Glad Hannah had such a great time with her cousin, that is very special.
