Yamboree Fun!

In the past month, I haven't blogged much, but we've been having all kinds of fun! Back in October was Gilmer, Texas' very famous YAMBOREE!! As usual, the entire Spencer family gathered for the big festival of fun, fair, parades, and yams.

My parents came in early to watch Kanyon ride at hippotherapy Friday morning. After that, we stopped for a little BBQ lunch......(pardon klp while he stuffs his face)

then we headed to the fair grounds to see the livestock show and look at all the animals and crafts.

q ended up crashing somewhere between the steers and goats

Clay and Mo's crew joined us too and we made the rounds inside the building

including the free popcorn the kids enjoyed feeding to each other

Then we went back to Nanny's to hang out with all the cousins. Here is qsp with cousin Nathan

Saturday morning was the parade. Our friend Ty brought bleachers for us to sit on. It was very fun, comfy, and showed just how serious we are about this Yamboree stuff. Here's our whole crew.

Again, q's first Yamboree was a little tiring.

However Kanyon's first corny dog did NOT disappoint!

After Saturday naps, Me and Kory and my brothers all took our kids back up the fair to ride some rides.

A rare occasion when our double stroller was JUST a double.

We stuck with the classic for Kanyon's first ride. Good ol' carousel. He enjoyed it very much!

Then Roselyn wanted to ride the "Bear Affair" so we rode that with her. Again, klp loved it.

And maybe the highlight of the evening was the motorcycles! Nolan is VERY in to motorcycles right now so he'd been looking forward to this ride. It was perfect for Kanyon and he was able to ride all by himself!!! They were LOVING IT!!! Shortly after, the light rain we'd been in the whole time turned nasty and a major huge storm blew in. We made it just in time!

More fun with cousins...here is klp with Jay

And my amazing grandma playing on the floor with Kanyon. He loved driving his tractor on her legs.

Rachel took these cute pics of qsp and KLP

Right before we left, we thought it would be a good idea to get a picture of Nanny with her great g-kids. Nolan thought it was a terrible idea. It didn't really turn out that great.

since we had such luck with Nanny, we went for Paw Paw and Gay Gay with the kids. Another unsuccessful, but funny pic!
