To finish off Bryant's birthday week, we went to the fair/rodeo in Helena Thursday night, then headed to Whitehall to hang out with his cousins and go to Frontier Days. There's always so much going on around Bryant's birthday and it seemed extra busy (but extra fun) this year.
First up at the fair - checking out the animals. Garrett loved this part! I think he liked the roosters the best because he kept signing "bird".
He was a little hard to keep entertained at the rodeo because it started at his bed time, so he managed to keep busy with the rodeo program.
And towards the end, we went to the top of the grandstands so the kids could just run around.
Garrett loved to look at all the lights from the top of the grandstand, so we definitely had to partake in the rides afterward.
Bryant stood in line all by himself! Last year, we had to stand by him and if the line was too long, he wouldn't go on the ride...what a difference a year makes!
Our super cautious kid even rode the roller coaster...twice! It really helped that before he got on it the first time, we ran into a friend of his from school and they rode it together. He was all smiles!
Garrett was too little and too tired to do any rides, but he liked to wait for his brother at the bottom of the obstacle course.
And watch him on the roller coaster. The boys are always such awesome little troopers at the fair. We didn't leave until 11:00 pm and we didn't have any major meltdowns. Bryant was so wired that he didn't even fall asleep on the half hour ride home!
On Friday night, Bryant had to show off his new motorcycle and ride it around Grandma and Grandpa's house in Whitehall. When he wants to show off, his "trick" is standing up.
The next morning was the parade. Bryant didn't want to get any candy because he spotted this dog costume miles away and did not want it to come near him. Garrett on the other hand, loved everything about the parade and between him and his cousins they had a grocery sack full of goodies. I love Olivia's high five to the dog in the background too:)
Candy in hand, waving to all the floats.
I love the chocolate dripping down his chin!
Madeline loved playing with Garrett and he was happy to go walking with her.
The next weekend, the boys got to have another day to play with their cousins before they headed home to San Diego. That morning at breakfast, Garrett was showing how much he likes our Alexa. He has a new favorite word ("no") that sounds so cute too.
We had so much fun playing at the park with cousins. Can you believe this little cutie is going to be 1.5 years old on Friday? Wow!
With Bryant starting kindergarten, I don't think we're going to be able to do our San Diego trip in October anymore, but it is always so fun seeing these cousins play together!
