we had a great time at our church's country fair!

got super lucky, too--just as we pulled up to park, Jackson's friend, Grayson, was walking by with his family!  So, these two had a blast doing all the activities together (even getting pumpkin's painted on their faces! jackson would not have let someone paint on his face last year with a ten-foot pole.  but, he saw his friend walk up and was waiting in line wanting to do it as well   Hopefully none of his friends will be visiting tattoo parlors anytime soon, or this may actually become a problem.

i can't believe both siblings smiled nicely at the camera--- at the same TIME!



TWICE!



Grayson & Jackson--they were so happy to see each other. you can tell they are excited!
