Fair Fun & Visit from our French Friends


The past few days, we were lucky to have some friends visit us from France (long time friends from Justin's mission to France). They did their bit of touring of downtown D.C., so we decided to give them a taste of Americana witha BBQ dinner one night & then taking them to the county fair the next. We had a blast going on rides, watching the demolition derby, & having good ol' funnel cakes. It was wonderful for us to see them after 4 years. It was also fun for Justin to brush up on his French, and Sophie LOVED her new friends (esp. Nelly, "the girl one," as she called her). She was quite torn up when they had to go, not wanting to say goodbye (I love the puckered lip she gives!). We will miss them dearly!

We met up with some friends from church. Sophie was so happy to be with one of her "best friends," & ride the carousel with her.

(sorry so dark! I accidentally grabbed our old camera...why has it not been sold/given away/thrown away?)

The group at the Demoiltion Derby.
We had fun choosing our cars to root for & seeing who won.

Go Go Go!

What ended up being Sophie's favorite ride-the Wiggle Worm. She was tall enough this year to go by herself, but she preferred to have somebody with her. I don't blame her-more fun!

Going on the Ferris Wheel. Lauren had to miss out on all the rides-the price to pay for being pregnant...but I got to justify my chocolate funnel cake! mmmm!
