While I was at work today, Mr. Carter decided it was time to stand on his own. I totally missed it. (Did I mention I started a new job?) Anyway, I got to see him stand on his own for a few seconds at a time. VERY exciting for us. Knew you could do it Carter boy!
And then I (HUGE!)was doing this: Leaving REAL early in the morning for the hospital to be induced. Didn't work. 
Can't believe my first born is almost 4. 
We went to the Davis County fair and it was a BLAST! It was hot hot hot but there were so many fun things to do that it almost didn't matter. First we watched some dogs jump into a huge pool of water. Those doggies could really JUMP! 
Next we went over to the petting ZOO! Both Landon and Carter really enjoyed this. Carter was not shy at all with the goats. Landon's favorite animal was the turtle who kept trying to escape the crazy crowd of kids trying to touch him. Who could blame him!
Right next to the petting zoo, free pony rides were going on. Landon waited patiently in line with Grandma while Chris and I took Carter over to see the other animals. He was somewhat intereted but liked his crackers more.
After Landon's pony ride, he wanted to go see the chickens and bunnies too.
The only "game" we opted to play was one called "Water Wars." You pay for a bucket of water balloons and then try to get your opponent with water balloons by sling shot. My aim was not that good but Chris and Landon got me soacked! By far, I think this was what Landon enjoyed the most.
Since Carter didn't get to play, I asked if he could have a water balloon. While we were off shooting away, he happily held it and, of course, tried to eat it. Afterwards, I thought he would like it if I got him all wet (we were all dying from the heat!) but as soon as I broke it, he started cryin and looked at me like I was the meanest mom alive. Oops. Sorry kiddo!
You can't go to the fair without buying some goodies and stopping to take a few pictures!
For the first time at the fair, they had a wild animal show that we got to go to. They had kangeroos, baby tigers, snakes, and more! It was so fun to see them. You could pay to pet the tigers but we passed this time. They sure were cute though!
After a few hours, Chris and I took Carter home for a nap while Landon stayed with Grandma and Grandpa. He ate more snacks and went on a few more rides-such a lucky boy! We definately had a 'wild time' ad the Davis County Fair :)
Day 2: Thank goodness the kids didn't have any trouble sleeping in the tent! I was a little worried. Carter woke up once in the middle of the night and slept in Chris' arms instead of his play pen. I the day, we spent it down by the water. Splish splashing away and taking turns in the paddle boat and canoes we rented. The boys busted out their Nintendo DS games and we didn't see Landon for a while. He was in heaven. Haha. We had a yummy dinner and later roasted marshmellows. Found out they had showers. Awesome. Did I happen to bring any kind of soap or anything like that? Nadda. We were filthy. Kids went down pretty easy and we spent most of the night laughing around the camp fire. Good times. 
Day 3: Awoke to rain. Ate, got dressed, crammed our (WET) stuff into our car, took some pictures, said goodbye. Then we were on the road again. This time, Carter did pretty well. Only had two accidents in the car but made it home all in one piece! 
We had a great time (minus the LONG drive with the kids) and made some great memories. We are excited to do this again next year. This, we all decided, is going to be the new Brown family tradition. Only next time, we're crossing our fingers for a closer location!
