State Fair

We enjoyed the Colorado state fair on Friday, Sept 4! The kids got coupons at school. for free gate entry & half off an arm band.

Rachel rode the ride that takes you up in the air several stories then drops you!

We all enjoyed riding the ferris wheel together.

(Sorry the quality isn't that great. It took these with my phone.)

Rachel's new earrings

We told Rachel she could get her ears pierced for her birthday. She didn't want to at the time, but then when she was hanging around her older cousin a few weeks later, she decided to go ahead and do it. She's been really good about putting the antiseptic on there to prevent infection.
