Celebrate South Riding 2014

Every year since D was 28 months old we've gone with friends to "Celebrate South Riding."  It's a typical carnival with rides, games, and food.  Last year S didn't get to go because he had a virus.  So this year was his first chance to ride the rides.  He loved it!!  But he also got very mad because he wasn't tall enough to go on the really fun rides.

 D had been talking all week about riding the motorcycles.  She said she'd have to ride twice so K could be in the front once and she could be in front once.  She then said she'd "even let K go in the front first."


 There were 3 separate rides on the carousel!  Of course both kids had to get an "up, down aminal."

We went on the slide too.  D even went down by herself!  She was sooooo proud of herself for this.

S got to ride in a taxi driven by S and K.  Not too sure how safe it was, but he seemed to enjoy the ride!

What carnival is complete without dragon rides?  And after you ride a dragon you MUST have lemonade!!  D declared the dragon ride, "not nearly as much fun as when I was 4."
When we asked D what her favorite ride was she quickly responded, "The new ride ... the swings.  I went around and around so fast!  I LOVED it!!"

S's favorite was the train.  D and K were too tall to ride this one!


S even got to ride his first ferris wheel!

Great Country Farm

Today to celebrate Spring Break we ventured to Great Country Farm.  We went last year at Spring Break also.  The kids had so much fun, when I asked what they wanted to do this year the first thing they said was "Great Country Farm!"  So we packed up the van with kids and grandparents and off we went. Just like last year, the kids had a blast playing on the slides and bouncy pillow.  Like last year I went down a few slides too.  Unlike last year I paid attention to the "12 and under" sign and stayed off of the bouncy pillow!  The kids also fed some goats, bounced on pigs, climbed on a bunch of wooden obstacles, and tried out the rope swing. And of course, no trip is complete without a little gem hunting! Last, but not least the kids rode the cow train.  S was till upset we didn't do this last year.  He definitely enjoyed the ride more than D!

Happy Easter

I hope you and your family had a wonderful, happy Easter!  Ours sure did!!!!   We started the fun on Saturday evening by decorating Easter eggs.  We managed to spill 0 cups of egg dye and I only cracked 3 eggs while boiling them.  As you can see, egg dying is a serious and thought provoking experience in our house. The Easter Bunny left baskets on the table and hid eggs downstairs for the kids on Easter morning.  The baskets had an art book, a book to read, Mad Libs, Tsum Tsums, one small toy, and some chocolate.  We spent the afternoon with family having another egg hunt and dinner.  It was a great way to spend a warm, Easter Sunday!

Here Come the Police!

Like most little boys, S is obsessed with anything that moves, makes noise, and has buttons.  I guess that's why one of his favorite toys right now is a remote control police car he got from my parents.  He drives around, where he wants it to go.  Although he does point the control backwards most of the time so when he pushes the reverse arrow it actually goes forward.  When it drives it makes siren noises.  Plus it has buttons on the car and the remote to push.  What more could a three year old boy want from a toy?!?!?
