My mom and I took the boys to Funderland and the park last weekend while Eric was out of town. It was a beautiful day and a great day to spend outside. We've taken the boys to Funderland before, the last time was in August last year and on that visit, I was quite pregnant with Holly. This time, Holly got to go with us, but no pony rides yet for her!! After the pony riding, the kids went on the amusement park rides including a dragon mini rollercoaster at Funderland. Then we had a picnic lunch at the park and were surrounded by millions of tiny white dasies in the grass. The boys kept busy eating their PB&J sandwiches and picking as many flowers as possible.
Carson cried the last time we tried to get him to ride the pony, but this time he loved it! Carson's pony was named Candy!
Tate is an old pro at the pony rides now. This time he rode on this sweet brown pony named Rocky.
My wonderful sister-in-law Dawn was kind enough to take some photos of the kids while she was here visiting this week from Utah. Rah Rah and PaPa who live in Sun City have a great grassy preserve area with beautiful oak trees just up the street from their house. On sunny days, we take the kids for a walk here and go for a picnic. Today, it made for a great background for some family photos.
Holly was very cooperative and very photogenic for all her photos and was happy to smile for the camera.
Tate was also very cooperative for his photos. Uncle Lance tried all his tricks to try to get a "real" smile out of Tate. Tate says "Cheeeeeeeeeese" the entire time his photo is being taken, and doesn't stop saying the word the entire time!
Carson was not at all wanting to have his picture taken and would cry or scowl despite our best efforts to get him to laugh. Finally, the only way to get out a smile was for me to sit with him!
