Dear Friends and Family,
In the end, we decided to stay at home for the four day weekend. And, I had so much fun, I'm glad we did.
Thursday, we decided to take P to the carnival. There's something about it. Maybe it's growing up near the beach and the broad walk as a kid and remembering going to the ride the rides. Maybe it's high school trips with friends. Maybe it's childhood trips with my grandfather. I like going. And, I'm glad P likes going.
We bought an all you can ride bracelet for $50 that was good for four days. P rode close to 50 rides between our trip on Thursday and our return visit on Saturday, if not more, so it was well worth the initial outlay. We finished with a family ride on the carousel. P also won a mini rocket launcher and a yellow dolphin.
Friday, P rode her scooter and went to the park with Mr. mouse. Apparently she went splashing in the fountains and came home dripping wet. She's so much fun.
In the afternoon, we went to another festival. This one was to watch the hot air balloons, which did not launch. The balloon glow was fun and the fireworks couldn't have been closer. The funniest part of it all? We decided to get a wagon to haul the lawn chairs. And, in the process, we learned that P is something of a wagon connoisseur asking about shade covers and other features before we bought the wagon. She was giddy riding in it on the way back to the car, offering to hold the picnic blanket on her lap to do her part in carrying stuff. Moments like these are what make it worth it to have a kid.
Saturday night, after the carnival, we went to a birthday party for one of P's friends. She had a blast going down the slide and riding the paddle boats. She's a natural with the boats. We had fun catching up with other parents and eating fried chicken. Yum.
Sunday, we weren't firing on all cylinders on Sunday. We skipped church. We went to the wrong restaurant for the race. When we went to the right restaurant, we were late so we didn't get to eat. And, then we headed out to the ball game. Fortunately, things seemed to be going better. We enjoyed a good game and P made it home awake.
We had some hiccups Sunday night in discussing our wills and stuff. But, I refuse to let that mar what would have been a perfect end to a wonderful weekend with Mr. mouse and P.
In fact, I'll skip ahead to going to bed. We found a mountain of stuffed animals on the bed when we went upstairs to our room. Apparently P had hidden them all there to keep them safe from ghosts. That explains the empty bins in her room. Too funny.
Cheers!
