First off, my apologies for not updating sooner, it’s been a crazy couple weeks. We’ve been so busy with parks and fairs and traveling. Last week we ventured to the Onslow County Fair. Although, in honesty, it was more like a carnival. There were mostly just rides and games (only one animal pavilion). But Gunner didn’t seem to mind. We started the fair with a quick face painting.
While Gunner got his face painted Grace and Layla (our friend’s little girl) enjoyed the animal balloons they had for sale.
Then we ventured to the animals (which didn’t take long) and then to the games. We played one game (ring toss) and Gunner was having so much fun, it was adorable. He was really getting into it. I have a cute video, but can't get it to upload... bummer. Next was the rides. I bought him an unlimited wristband for $12 and he went on ALL the kiddie rides (including the bounce house).
Poor Grace had to spend most of the time just watching, but she was content nonetheless.
I did splurge and buy her tickets for the carousel and she loved it.
The next few days were filled with story hour, Bible studies, and play dates. On Thursday I took a class so the kids went to “school” and had so much fun. On Friday Grace was feeling under the weather (turns out it was an ear infection) so we decided to hit the road to Grandma and Grandpa’s in Kentucky. Needless to say, the last 6 days have been filled with so much fun! We went to another festival last weekend with Grandma and Grandpa. Grace once again, was mostly observing, but happy just the same.
While Gunner was busy jumping in the bounce house and then riding his first pony (which he LOVED).
Of course, we had to get more face painting. J
And Grace joined in the fun this time as the lady suggested painting her foot instead (genius idea by the way). It was a little butterfly and was absolutely adorable!!
Naturally, it wouldn’t be normal if we didn’t get ice cream with Grandpa. J
Then we ventured to the park where Gunner showed off all his moves.
On Sunday we went to my Uncle Ed’s new house in Tennessee, but as you can see, we got a little lost. The sign was worth the detour though. It was down a gravel road that evidently was someone’s driveway. Haha.
We did finally find his house and the kids had fun playing with all their cousins. We spent the rest of the day playing. Grandpa found Gunner a big wheel at the consignment shop and he LOVES it! So one evening we took Gunner with his big wheel and Grace with her walker to enjoy the weather.
They loved it. Plus, I love that it wore them both out. J
And, there is no shortage of fun just being at Grandpa and Grandma’s house. Grace discovered the McDonald’s play stuff, which was mine when I was a little girl. I have a picture of me playing with it as well that I will have to scan to my computer sometime. So the toy continues to the next generation.
Plus, Grandpa has TONS of books to read.
