Dora and Diego

This weekend they had an East Idaho Kids Fair here in town.  We had heard about it a few times on the radio, but it wasn't until they mentioned Dora and Diego were going to be there that it really caught my attention.  We knew we had to take Everett!  He use to be obsessed with Dora. Seriously it was all he watched.  Luckily he has started venturing out a little.  Diego has become more and more of a favorite over Dora.  After some last minute changes to our plans we decided to go and take the kids.

The location was just down in Idaho Falls in an old grocery store.  So being all in doors was nice except that there were a ton of people which made it extremely loud.  They had vendors that had little activities that geared more towards kids.  Everett had fun being able to go and through bean bags to win prizes, or spin wheels.  They had some jump houses and a mini mechanical bull, but seeing the length of the line we decided it wasn't worth it.  With our luck we would get there and he wouldn't want to do it anyway!

 After walking around for a bit we finally saw were Dora and Diego were.  Then we saw the line.  So Todd told me to keep taking Everett around and him and Jacquelyn would wait in line.  So off we went. We walked around a little and visited a few more places.  Everett's favorite spot was the fire truck.  We had stopped by with Todd and he got in, but he had a ballon on his wrist and wanted it off.  I think the fireman thought he was done so he just got him done. Remember it was extrememly loud and Everett does not speak very loudly to begin with.  So when I went back with him I could tell he wanted to go again. So this time I took the ballon off and the fireman helped him back up.  It was priceless to watch.  He got the biggest grin!! He started playing with the wheel and looking around and sadly his turn was up.  He loved it.

 Then it was time to check on Todd again. He had made improvement, but we still had awhile.  So off we went again.  Everett was getting tired and a little restless we headed to the food court and got a drink and some ice cream to share.  When we got back we just hung out with Todd cause it looked like we had gotten pretty close.  But we were tricked.  It looked like it was going straight to where Dora was, but then it looped! In the end we waited for about an hour.  As we were getting closer Everett was getting so excited with a big smile on his face, but the minute we sat him on Diego's lap it went away.  Jacquelyn was just lookin around wondering what was going on.

 We're still glad we went.  The kids had a good time and it was a fun little trip just to see Dora and Diego.
