This morning the boys and I headed up north of Atlanta to Alpharetta. We attended Vision Baptist Church. The folks there really extended southern hospitality and the boys really enjoyed their classes. 
At the end of the service, I was surpised to see all of the children file into the auditorium to sing a special song for Grandparents' Day. The boys sang along like it was something they'd been practicing for weeks.
After leaving church, we drove to the Old Milton Country Fair. My mistake was telling the boys we were going to a "fair". In their mind and from their experience all "fairs" are like the Elkhart County 4-H Fair or The Canadian National Exhibition. Needless to say this one didn't quite meet their expectaions. It was a nice little country fair and they did have some fun!

For .25 cents, the boys each got to make a button pin
The volunteers helped lil J press the button himself
Showing off their new buttons
Another activity was a sweet lady who taught children (and some adults) how to sew on a button.
Surprisingly, the boys really enjoyed this activity (and were pretty good at it too!)
Showing their newly sewn on buttons
Before we left we watched a play with Abe Lincoln telling about his life.
