the zoo with the lansing crew

the dollar a minute pony ride

the boys
the hit of the day
solo riders

happiness shared

oh the pain inflicted on poor E. by My

Again, fun was had by all for MOST of the time!

camping

Highlights

• Camping with little kids was way better than expected...even Al's bedtime
• Oh, the dirty was way dirtier than I ever expected
• As my daughter when to bed with her arm around me...she told me that "this was the BEST day she ever had in her whole wide life"
• Sleeping in my swimsuit bottoms by accident was a HUGE mistake
• Thank god for the person who decided to raise the fire-pits off the ground and surrounding them in concrete -one less worry for the Moms
• Potty-time was a bit of an issue for My -it was just too smelly Mommy

Looking forward to a full family trip in August

ballonfest

Highlights

• "Non-toxic" face paint that never falters during nap, nights sleep, and bath Really, non toxic?
• Al finally looks up....wonders if the slow moving invasion is a threat "loons...loons...loons"
• Oh, dollars store glow sticks "kick ass" of a real life fireworks display
• Deep fried Twinkies are the warm yummy devil of darkness
• Dad rides double Ferris wheel of doom with 3 year old daughter and outcome was joyous for one (Myla) not so much for others
• My ponders elephants ears deeply as she eats and eats and eats...
