St. Joseph - Day 3

After breakfast, we went to a small amusement park.  We were pretty much the only people there even though it was a Saturday, so it turned out to be really nice for us.  We were able to do all the activities we wanted without waiting or Connor getting scared.

Since neither Connor nor I have ever been in a go-kart, we went first on the ride.  I could tell he was a little uneasy about it, but it also helped that we were the only ones there, so he didn't know what to expect.

He did really well and we drove around for a few minutes together!

After driving, Connor and Dada played 18 holes of mini golf.  Again, with no one else there, they were able to take their time and Connor got to run around a little and throw his ball.

Caylee and I just watched...and sunbathed...

And took selfies...

Dada and Connor took a ride on the go-kart!

After a good nap...

We went to the beach!

I forgot how messy sand was, but we did pretty good!  We didn't actually go in the water, but we played in the sand, ate snacks, and went on the beach playground.

Our Week...with a Sick Family

Caylee's birthday week started out great with the kids playing together and having a great time!

On Wednesday, we celebrated her birthday with some cake and presents.  But by Thursday morning, she was throwing up and I had to pick her up from daycare early.  The flu was going around there last week, so she may have caught something from there.  She seemed fine after a long nap (when I took this photo), but she was on and off the rest of the week.

Dada stayed home with her on Friday, but then he got sick.  Grammy also caught it and was in bed all weekend.  Connor and I had some extra time to spend together since we were the only healthy ones.  Selfie!

Dada was feeling better for a little while on Saturday, so we all went to Connor's first basketball class.  The coach is awesome, so I'm really excited to see how much progress he makes over the summer.

On Saturday afternoon/evening, we said goodbye to my car.  As much as it can be a piece of junk, I've had it for 9 years and I'm not a person who likes change.  Both kids kinda grew up in that car and I've had it since I quit my first "real" job after college.  It's bittersweet to get rid of it, but I need something new and more safe for the kids.

The selfies didn't turn out very well, we were all tired, and it was raining...

On Sunday, Connor asked me to take a picture of him and Kitty snuggling!

Touch a Truck

On Saturday, we went to our first Touch a Truck event.  Connor is just starting to be more interested in cars, motorcycles, and school buses, so I thought he might enjoy it. 

I think he was a little overwhelmed at first with all the giant trucks, lots of people, and all the noise coming from the vehicles.

They gave out little constructions hats and Connor loved wearing his!

I love the pictures of him in the garbage truck seat because it reminds me how he still has a very long way to go before his feet touch the pedals!

I was SO excited when I saw that they had a street sweeper!  I've always had a childhood dream of riding in one and I used to love watching it drive by our house.  I made Connor wait in a long line with me, so we could get our turn inside.

Connor's favorite was probably the old tractor.  I tried to explain that Old McDonald uses his tractor on his farm, but I don't know if he understood!

New kicks

Connor's feet must have grown without me noticing because all his little shoes don't fit on his feet anymore.  Time for some new kicks!  Luckily, I had these little Converse shoes all ready for him!

Hangin' out in Mommy's car...
