Webb Weekend of Fun

I'm seriously a blogging slacker...I've been too busy living to record it, and you know, if something has to give, it's gotta be the blog...sorry...
Yes, another weekend of fun...We are lucky kids! This past weekend was the scheduled Rexburg Webb weekend of fun, although only Mom, Dad, Jenna and Preslie could make it...yeah, Jeff, Garret, this is to make you feel bad you didn't come :)...
We started things off right at the Eastern Idaho State Fair in Blackfoot. It is a really fun fair, HUGE, with all the requisite treats, animals, souvenir booths and rides.
We took a good walk through the animals, with the horses and goats being favorites, but Hudson's little face didn't really light up until he spotted a Honda booth. FOUR-WHEELERS! Immediately followed by lawn mowers. Talk about best day ever for him. Next, we found the Kid's Pedal Tractor Pull competition just about to start. We signed Kennedy up, and lo and behold, she won! She pulled 150 lbs...not bad for someone who weighs 47 lbs! She was thrilled, and got a ribbon and a T-shirt. She was so cute, she tried so hard, we were so proud!
The Winner!

We wandered around, eating junk and doing some serious people watching before hitting the rides. I loved hanging out with my family, we had a really good time.
With our carmel apples and cinnamon almonds, the whole reason for going to the fair...
*not sure why I look pregnant in this picture - I'M NOT - oh, wait, probably something to do with the carmel apples and cinnamon almonds... :)
Hudson was such an angel, contentedly riding in the stroller, that I was excited to reward him with a fun little ride, but after we walked through all of the rides, getting him all excited to ride something, we discoved he was too short for anything. Luckily we found a little booth, just for toddlers, with ride-on toys. He and Preslie were in heaven. They rode the toys while Kennedy rode the big swings. I hate to sound so old, but we could not believe what a rip-off the rides were. $5 a pop! I hate to say it, but that pretty much makes Lagoon a good deal...jeez!
At least she had fun!
Hudson loved this little motorcycle soooo much. I hope I can find one in the next week or two for his Birthday!
Jenna, Mom and me with Kennedy, Preslie and Hudson. He was not happy stopping for a picture!
We had a great Rexburg Day the next day, hitting all of our favorite joints, including the "D" and the yummy italian place for lunch. So fun just kickin' around. We found a fun new place in Rigby, it is an old Sugar Mill turned into a bunch of cute shops. It'll definitely be a regular. We had a relaxing night the next night, with delicious BLT's courtesy of my dad's garden, doing hair, watching What Happens in Vegas, eating my world famous popcorn. Thanks for coming, guys, we had a blast as always!

  6. Shelli,
    There is no one in the world who can play like the Webbs. My highlights of being little are going places with your mom and stopping for ice cream, chocolates, shakes and more on one trip to Salt Lake. Grandma Jorgy never stopped for treats so it was something I remember! I got Jed a little motorcycle like that online through Target last year. He LOVES it and it was really cheap too. Let's see your new look.

    This is a reminder that I'd love your world famous popcorn recipe. Is it a secret? Is by chance the one you brought at Christmas?!?!!??!
