School Pictures

Ryan had his school pictures taken today and this time they allowed Audrey to get in on the action. They both did so well I decided to come home and take a few to see if I could get some of that cooperation. While I think these came out pretty well I'm excited to see the pictures the photographer got! 

State Fair 2011

We had a great morning at the State Fair! Audrey ate everything (a girl after my own heart) she had an entire ham biscuit, part of a funnel cake, part of an Italian sausage and then had lunch in the car on the way home. Ryan LOVED the petting zoo and the fountain, he also went on his very fist fair ride (he asked me about 4 times before he got on if it was the slow ride, he just wanted to make sure). The older the kids get the more fun these activities become.

Grandparent Visit

This post is a week late but I finally got to it. The grandparents came to visit on their way home from a beach trip last weekend. They live far away so we don't get to see them very often and the kids took full advantage of them being here with lots of running and playing! 

  

 They brought the kids pillow pals which the kids used to relax after the grandparents left 

New Park

A friend of ours invited us to a play date she was hosting at a park that we had never been to before and it was so awesome I ended up taking lots of pictures. All of their playground equipment is made with very natural materials like trees and branches so it feels almost like playing in tree forts. The weather was perfect and they even had an art project making pinwheels. Very fun! While it was a bit of a drive to get to we will certainly be going back. 

Day at the Zoo

We decided since the zoo isn't all that far away that we should use the perfect weather this weekend as an excuse to check out the animals. Ryan has also been learning about animals at school and he has declared that Elephants are his favorite animals so this was a great opportunity to see some in person. 

Park Pictures

I have been busy this week and have fallen behind in posting pictures. So here are some from last week.
