Alaska State Fair 2021

 After yesterday's post of Denali, I've been thinking of our Alaska adventures and all the fun things we got to do so I thought I'd post a couple more❤️ One thing I didn't notice when I booked this trip was that we were going to miss our fair. When the kids found out, I thought they were never going to forgive me 😆 but I did some research and found out that the Alaska state fair would be going on in Palmer, AK at the same time, so what better way to redeem myself than to get to go to theirs instead!? The kids were still mad at me, but less so once we got there and found out that it was actually so much fun to get to go to theirs😉😆 We also don't complain about the cost to get into ours anymore because it was like, $90 just to get in the gate! And the rides were even more expensive too, so we only went on a few. They had the kamikaze/hammerheads so we told Aiden and Sadie they HAD to go, it was such a blast from the past of our childhood 😆 they loved it though! We listened to a cool guy talk about ulus and watched a crazy thing called "rat race" where there was an actual mouse running around a color wheel and u bet on the color he would go in and won if u got it right. It was so crazy Lol! 😆 We got cotton candy and Mac N cheese and cheeseburgers... It was a really fun day and in the end, I think they finally forgave me for making them miss ours😉

Peter Iredale Shipwreck

 These were from Astoria and the Peter Iredale shipwreck on the Oregon coast. We went and saw the Goonies House, Astoria Column, and the cool ships in the harbor. The kids really liked the shipwreck and it was really fun to go visit, they loved playing in the sand and on the beach, and Aiden was such a good sport and let everyone bury him. He was always the ringleader when it came to finding all the fun things to do🥲❤️

Sleep Shenanigans

Image
 Aiden and his sleeping shenanigans was the funniest thing ever. He was always sleep walking, sleep talking, and when he got tired, it didn't matter where he was, he would just tip over. I can't even count how many times he fell asleep at the dinner table 😆 He rarely made it through movies. One time at a hotel he almost sleep walked out the door in the middle of the night, luckily it had one of those locks at the top so every time he pulled the door it slammed into that and woke me up! Another time he came walking out to the living room and we had a set of stairs between it and his room. He sat down on the stairs and I was like, "hey buddy, whatcha doin?" he looked at me and said, "what does it look like I'm doing?" and laid down on a stair and went back to sleep. The first 2 pics of this set is one of my favorite memories, we rode a ferry from Seattle to Victoria B. C. and while we were waiting for dinner, he totally just tipped over and fell asleep at...

Don't Go Out and Break Your Stupid Arm

Image
Oh Mr. Aiden... This whole incident was just CRAZY 🤦 One day Aiden wanted to go and climb the tree in our yard. I was cooking dinner and didn't want him to, and as he was walking out the door I said, "you better be careful! Don't go out there and break your stupid arm!" 5 minutes later, he came back in all pale, nauseous, and covered in dirt and was like, "mom, I think I broke my arm" and I was like YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!! I told you NOT to go out and do that!!!  I took one look at it and was like, yep...arms are definitely not supposed to look like that...that's broken. And indeed it was...displaced and everything, and of course ended up needing surgery🤦 So surgery day came, and I told him multiple times.... Nothing to eat or drink after midnight. We had to be there really early in the morning so as I'm getting ready I hear some rustling out in the kitchen and yelled, what are you doing!? You better not be eating! Silence. So I go running...
