Hog Queen of the Wilson County Fair

So this weekend has to go down in the books as one of the best ever...and it's not even over yet!

Yesterday we went to the fair again with my parents, sister, and nieces.  Chan and I were so excited to go back for more fun!!  There is so much to do there that you just can't fit it all in one visit.  So we got to do a few things last night that we weren't able to last weekend...do the rides we missed, watch the pig & duck races, see the monkey jockeys at the Banana Derby, & watch different performers along the way.  Plus, we went at night this weekend so we got to see all the lights...I LOVE THE LIGHTS!  Might just be my favorite part.  BUT TO TOP IT ALL OFF....this girl won the title of Hog Queen at the Wilson County Fair!  Never thought I'd see the day!  Here are a few shots of last night's adventures.

The FUN SLIDE!  Riley & Chan went down like 5 gazillion times, I swear.

Just as the lights were coming on.  I love this time at the fair.

Chan & the statue performing artist...he was so impressed!

Not only did we have a super fun night at the fair, but today we took the boys to Wave Country.  I took Chan and Liam with their Aunt Carly back in July and they had a blast.  Chandler was dying to go back and show Daddy how he went down the 40 foot high waterslide all by himself (and nearly gave his Momma a heart attack).  We spent a few lovely hours there today with great weather and very little crowd.  Couldn't have been more perfect!

This kid loves the water slides

And so to these kids.  Liam laughs the whole way down!

Walking back up to go down the slide...we did this so many times today.

Jus going down the big slide.  Chan went down both of these several times, too!

Sweet boy had such a big time this weekend!

Overall, one of the best weekends we've had in a while with so many memories made.  I so love spending time with these sweet boys and creating some fabulous memories with them.  Can't wait to see what tomorrow has in store for us!
