Maddie had a blast running a race yesterday. Several of the elementary schools get together and each grade has a race. All the little kindergarteners were so cute racing.
I hadn't picked peppers for a few days, so this is what I got when I went out.
Obviously Sydnie loved her birthday present (she picked it out).
The cake wasn't bad either.
Witnie has joined the ranks of the eat-out-of-the-icecream-bucketers.
Mark got to be in Where's Maldo again this year. He had a friend's son help him dress up and go with him. He was just a bit scary looking.
I'll end with a cute video.
Maddie was so excited for the pony rides, but Sydnie refused to get on when it was her turn.
Sydnie was terrified when the animals at the petting zoo looked at her, but she enjoyed petting them from behind.
Sydnie was also too scared to get on the firetruck, but Maddie enjoyed learning about it.
This is how Witnie enjoyed the festivities.
The old fashioned firetruck wasn't as scary.
I thought this chicken was really funny.
Last week we went on an evening canoe trip. We paddled down a not moving river from one park to another. Then we were suppose to canoe back. We paddled and paddled and finally made it back to the wrong park we had just left. Somehow we got turned around and headed back the wrong direction. By this time it was 9:30 and we were 3 miles paddling or 5 miles running from our car and the parks closed at 10:00. Thankfully a park ranger drove by right then and drove Mark back to pick up our car before it was towed away. We had a fabulous time though because we never knew we were going the wrong way until the end, and it was a full moon and warm and absolutely beautiful.
