First visit to Fair

Nothing much going on here. We have been in Humboldt County for two weeks and its been nice. We were going to go to Chico last weekend but peach picking didn't happen so we didn't want to travel that far. So we decided to do some things around the house. Scott poured a concrete mowing strip where we use to have some pavers. It was a pretty easy project considering the girls wanted to help. After that we went to our friends, Ken and Melanie's house and hung out. They live in Hydesville, which is like 5 minutes away on 36, nicer weather than fortuna, anyway their backyard is huge. They have a big play set and Izze loved it. Their boys are 9 and 7 and are way big for the playset so they made up some jumps and climbs, well Izze wanted to imitate them. It was great until she fell and hit her head. Mickey was into the dogs so she didn't play very much. They had a cute bike and Izze is really into bikes right now so she loved it and they had razors that Mickey loved. She even put her foot down to make it go. We had a nice night...We rented Shutter Island and it was good but Scott couldn't finish it. I wasn't scared but heard the ending was really good so I watched it. It was good but Inception was much better...go see it if you haven't seen it yet. Sunday we cleaned up the house and took green waste to Scotia. Scotia is right on the Eel River so we headed down to the river. It was like 70 degrees which was great. Both girls stripped down and got into the water. They were so cute. Wish I had my camera with me. Then we came back and played in the sprinkler. Oh ya we also went to the County Fair. It was free to get in so headed down to Ferndale. Good food and entertainment for the night. The girls went on their first merry go round ride. I tried to get a video but started to get sick as it kept turning. Oh well maybe on Saturday when we go back I can get one. Here a few pictures!
