Ya Gotta Go the the Fair

We had frequently talked about taking the older Grandkids to the Fair - since it is just down the street from us - so we found out when the dirt track and demolition derby was taking place - and away we went.

We thought the auto races would be exciting for the boys but it seemed the games and the rides were the main attraction.

Noah just waiting while the brothers ride the Ferris wheel.

He preferred the zipper and the tilt a whirl..

This ride had a problem...yes the operator is pushing it....

Yes we whirled - FAST!....for some reason riding with grandpa made it faster

(weight and balance issues I think)

Loving the Merry go Round!

camping at the beach

Summer is not Summer unless you camp at the beach!

Clayton and Michelle and the Grandkids were all there

As were many of our friends ..It was all great fun.

Start out with a waffle and egg breakfast

It may have been a cool morning

So we hit the road - the bikes flew by often - with calls of "Hi Grandpa - Hi Grandma"...or the ringing of each persons bike bell.

We went to the beach often

The Water was cold - first day 44 degrees!

So we played on the beach...no one was in the water!

When it warmed up - everyone was in the water!

Elizabeth having a great time

Cant camp without a storm coming in ..sometime.

Roll up those awnings!

This day had a morning severe storm and an evening severe storm..

with a Tornado warning included.

A little wave action!

The View out the back window!....There were many great sunsets

And for a little added excitement - we had a plane crash on the beach - just north of were we had been sitting - The pilot was okay - just had engine failure -
