Kiddieland, Ball Pits & Slides...OH MY!

We went to Kiddieland on Wednesday. It is an iconic amusment park that's been open for 81 years. My mom went there every weekend when she was a child, I went when I was a child, and we've brought Adam each summer of his little life. Sadly, this is the last year it will be open.

We had one last hurrah and had a WONDERFUL time!
The weather was beautiful and boys went on lots of rides together.















Sammy & I kept ourselves occupied and we all had a lovely evening.









...Adam had such a great time in Kiddieland's ball pit (in which the balls are easily 20 years old) that he asked to go to a nearby play area that has a ball pit and slide the next day.

We did!

The little climber made a new friend & made quick work of the ball pit, climbing ladders & slides while his sister looked on & giggled the whole time.



We're having a blast this summer and are loving watching both kids grow so fast.

We have a few more fun outings up our sleeves for the summer before Adam starts preschool September 8th.

We'll keep y'all posted!

We have arrived

I know we're late to the Blogging party~ but between my Snapfish addiction & Andrew's website activites, I thought we were covered. Honestly, though, I get such a kick out of "The Daily Dane" and I often cyber-stalk "Planet Howard" & "Blendermann Lane" so I figured it's only fair that I throw stuff into the ether, too. Besides- it might help me abstain from sending too many snapfish pictures of my kids- keeping you all up on how cute they are without having to listen to me ramble on & on (you can just stop reading if you've heard enough!)

So here we go:

Tonight we had a fantastic night! We went to dinner (that I didn't have to cook.) We listened to an outdoor concert at a little neighborhood festival (where there weren't a million bugs.) We went to a cute little place called "Choo-Choo" (a little theme diner where the food arrives at the counter on a train) for ice cream. We played in a sprinkler before coming home. The kids behaved amazingly, the weather was beautiful, dinner was tasty, and everyone's in bed relatively early & easily! FUN TIMES!



Okay, so the picture wasn't from tonight~ it was from this month, though. It's from the last time we went out to see an outdoor concert with the kids. Apparently, they are big fans of outside & big fans of music!

Okay- experimental post complete! I'll share more next time.
