Last week we headed to Pikeville, KY for the annual Hillbilly Days. This has been our replacement for missing the Clark County Fair since we've lived in Virginia. The kids got the same yummy kettle corn they get each year, but this year we passed on the fried snickers, oreos, and twinkies. (We even saw chocolate covered bacon this year...no thanks.) This was Carter's first experience out in the sun and heat...and he wasn't too happy. I eventually took his shirt off and poured some water on his onesie. It was almost 90 degrees...pretty hot for April here. I guess with Carter being born in November and having lived his 5 months in 20-50 degree weather, he was shocked by the heat. He was fussy, but didn't get sick (thank heavens).

The kids got to choose 3 rides to go on...why are carnival rides SO DANG EXPENSIVE??? I would have loved for them to ride them all, but dinner at Applebees seemed like a better way to spend another $30.
We had a lot of fun, but we'll be happy to be at the Clark County Fair next year with our friends and families!
This morning I took Jackson in to have his tubes put in. The surgery center was about an hour and 40 minutes from our house, so we were up EARLY to be there and registered by 7:00am. He did great. The nurses loved him, and he was tough through the whole process. I WISH I would have snapped of a picture of him marching his little self into the operating room with his little undies bum hanging out of his hospital gown...very cute! The procedure was just a few minutes long and he came right of the anesthesia. It only took him about 30 minutes to start acting like his normal self and for those 30 minutes I got to hold and snuggle him...he never lets me do that anymore! Since he'd been fasting we stopped and got some yummy breakfast together on the way home. It was a nice Mommy/Son date.
Thank heavens the tubes (and hopefully the ear infections) are over with!

It reminds us of when little McKay was such a poor sad sick baby until he finally got his tonsils out at age 2...looks like the same hospital gown!
