Weekend Fun

I think this is the first week since August 1st that our family has been all together and healthy with no major events or changes occurring.  A much needed respite for sure!

Today we went to a fall festival.  Originally we planned to go right at nap time but decided this morning that maybe we should come home after swimming, let the two littles nap, and then head back to the festival.

This worked well except that we were a bit behind our planned schedule and didn't end getting to the festival until 5:02.  One of the big feature of this festival is a boat ride out to an island were you can explore and climb into a lighthouse, etc.  Well, the last boat to the island left at 5:00.  So crummy!  The tour boat is seasonal and closed until next June with the exception of tomorrow.  The weather isn't supposed to be very nice but if it doesn't rain Victor will take Erik back to the festival for the boat ride and island exploration tomorrow.  He was pretty disappointed that we didn't get there in time but handled the disappointment really, really well.

We still had a fun time at the carnival, even managed to dance a few times as there was a band.  We also captured a fairly good family photo, finally so I can update our blog header with a current photo.  I have decided professional photographers earn every penny! :)

 Lainey and Carson rode a pony together
Erik wouldn't even get close to the ponies!
 Not so sure about this mom!
 Let me off!
(Just look at the camera first buddy!)
 Okay, you win!
 Lainey finished the ride alone.
Notice her shoes, they are always on the wrong feet.
This is intentional.
She says, "I like it that way!" when I ask her to switch them!

Not perfect (I hadn't dried my hair after taking a shower but I HAD at least taken a shower!) but better than the others.
First family photo with all five of us looking in at least 6 months.

Haha! It has to be uncomfortable to wear your shoes on the wrong feet. I love kids, they are hilarious.
