A wiggly fantastic time

We (yes, Daddy too) went to the Wiggles concert tonight with Kyle and his friends Piper and Violet. The kids had such a great time singing and dancing! We even got to hear our favorite song Fruit Salad (yummy, yummy). They really put on a great show!

Missing a Wiggle? The big red car wasn't tooting or chugging. Anthony had to push it across the stage!



Here are our friends Dorothy the dinosaur, Wags the dog, Henry the octopus and Captain Feathersword.



Here we are just having a good time!

Faster than a speeding bullet.

More powerful than a locomotive....it's Super Ryan! He's been super strong from day 1, but man, can this kid crawl fast. He pulls out those laser eyebeams (usually aimed at the dog's water bowl) and off he goes. There's no stopping him. I can't tell you how many times I've had to clean up a wet floor and a soaking baby!

Whoa....faster, faster!

Mommy and Daddy were going to have a little fun and try out the new mountain coaster. You can either go single or double, of course, Daddy wanted to go single because he didn't want any extra weight slowing him down. The coaster has brakes, but apparently the goal, according to Daddy, was not to use them. So, Mommy graciously took her own. Turns out Mommy likes to go fast too, no brakes for me. I weigh less, so I guess that means I was faster :) We made it to the bottom and standing there was a little boy chanting, "I want to go!" It turns out that he was just tall enough to ride. So, Daddy bought another ticket and up the mountain they went. Looks like we have a child with the need for speed, because the whole way down he was telling Daddy to go faster. He hardly even touched the brakes! I fear for the future....

Then we finished off the afternoon with a ride on the chair lift and headed for home. We had such a great time. Thanks Nana and G-daddy!

Is your Mama a Lama?

That's one of our favorite books. So, we thought the kids might enjoy feeding the lamas, alpacas and goats. I think putting the money in the dispenser and getting the food was half the fun. We were told that the lamas will spit at each other trying to get the food. And yes, they did. Then my sweet little boy says to the lama, "Bless you!" I'm glad to see our manners extend even to the lamas. We were having so much fun feeding the lamas, I think Nana must have dropped $10 on food. The lamas, at one point, just disappeared. I don't think they could eat any more!

Echo, echo...

We took Kyle for his first canoe ride. He thought it was so much fun to drag his hand in the water. Little did he know that he was making Mommy and Daddy paddle that much harder! The most exciting part of our little excursion was when we went under the big bridge and he yelled, "Echo, echo...Hello, Hello," over and over again. What fun! Daddy took him out in the canoe again the next day, only this time I think all of the excitement had finally caught up with him. Still holding onto the bar, he managed to catch a few Z's on the way back.

That's a lot of mooing

According to Kyle, that is. We took the kids to the County Fair and got to see all of the beautiful prize cows, pigs, sheep, rabbits and chickens. Ok, maybe not beautiful, but they were the cleanest and most well groomed of their kind. Although Kyle loved the animals (not the enormous snorty pigs so much), his first taste of funnel cake, and the tractor pull, the rides were definitely the highlite of the evening. The grin from ear to ear was just priceless. The kind of pure joy only a kid could have. He would get off every ride saying, "I want to do it again." Ryan had a good time too people watching and looking at all of the lights.

A trip to Nana's and G-daddy's

We just got back from spending a few funfilled days up at Nana's and G-daddy's house. When I say funfilled, I mean funfilled. Kyle was one lucky boy. Don't get me wrong, Ryan enjoyed getting all the attention that he deserves, he's just a little too young to do the "big boy" stuff. We were also lucky to be able to spend some time with Aunt Sandy and Uncle Michael too. Since there's so much to tell, the next few posts will be dedicated to our wonderful trip to the lake.
