Family Outing

A Little too much enthusiasm, don't
you think?


Saturday was our cites 125 anniversary. They threw a big neighborhood celebration at a local park. We decided to take the children there as there were those huge blow up bouncers that Sweetie really loves. Bean was somewhat afraid of them, but I took her on one myself, and after that there was *no* looking back. We had a hard time getting her out of there!

The girls ended up *filthy* dirty, and all three of them HAD to get a bath. I put each one in a tub, and gave Little Tiny Boy a bath in the Kitchen sink.

At the "birthday" party they had free face painting, free balloon sculptures, free birthday cake, free Cotton Candy, and an old timey Swing Band. Of course they had trombones there. (Daddy plays one of those!) The girls were very interested in hearing the band once I pointed that out! (smile)

We also bought them some hot dogs smoothed with greasy nacho cheese. Sweetie ate hers up right quick, but Bean, was more into the cake.

Bean fell off of her chair a few times,( which is quite normal) while a few on lookers were probably wondering why her parents were laughing instead of being more sympathetic.

Bean was the only one who had her face painted because she didn't want to go on the bouncers at first.

They ended the evening with a firework display which all the children thought was fascinating.

Bean is finally attempting the Slide. On her stomach of all things!


Looks like Bean is in trouble for violating a rule.

Such as climbing *up* the slide! :)

lady wanted to know what Bean wanted

Bean told her "purple". So a purple flower

she got.

LOOK at that face! My little thrill seeker!

I wonder what he thinks about it!? Hmmmm.
