Happy 4th Birthday Rylee!

 

We celebrated Rylee's 4th birthday at "Jumpin Jack and Jill's" on Sunday.  She invited all of her little friends and luckily, they all were able to make it!  We all had a blast and can't wait to have more parties there! 

 All of the kids (even Carson) had a blast sliding down the big slides and jumping in the bouncy house. There was also a little toddler area for the little ones to play in, and a TV for the big kids to watch the Seahawks play.

This is where we found Carson most of the time... sneaking treats!

 Thanks everyone for making Rylee's birthday so fun and special!

After the bouncy party we came back home, napped, and then had the family over for a special birthday dinner.   What a great day!

Do the Puyallup- take 2!

We just HAD to do the fair again.  This time we took my mom and made it an all day affair.  We got a deal on a dizzy pass so Rylee was able to ride as many rides as she wanted.  Thank goodness for this, as she went on the big slide literally 8 times in a row.  Not kidding.  Needless to say, after six hours at the fair with no naps, my kids were exhausted at the end of the day.

 

Do the... Washington State Fair!

What a beautiful day to "Do the Puyallup"... or I guess now the "Washington State Fair."  Rylee absolutely LOVES everything about the fair- rides, yummy food, cool animals to see and pet, shopping, games, horse rides, and more RIDES!  Carson thought it was pretty cool too, although all he really got to experience was the food and animals (and a pretty sweet nap in the stroller).  He was too small for the rides, and honestly, I think he was content with just watching his sissy.

This kangaroo was the coolest.  Carson kept chasing him back and forth saying "hop hop."  

Rylee made lots of little friends on the rides.  She is such a little social butterfly!

Her favorite part was the horse ride!  Did I mention she said she wants a horse for her birthday?!



Northwest Trek

We went on a new adventure today to Northwest Trek.  Lance and I have been before, but never with the kiddos.  They loved it.  They had fun on the tram and loved seeing some of the animals close up.  We definitely had favorites.  The otter, porcupines and beavers were definitely the coolest and put on the best show for us.  Here are a few pictures from our exciting day.

Mr. Porcupine was very friendly and a lot cuter than I expected.  He even waved at Carson!

The otter (above) let us get a close up shot in between his somersaults and acrobatics in the water.  The wolverine (below) was sleepy but still very cool to see.  Look at the size of his feet!

Carson had fun checking everything out.  He is getting very independent and wants nothing to do with his stroller anymore.  He wants to walk everywhere, touch everything and basically do whatever will cause the most trouble.  Typical toddler.  At least he's cute!  =)
