Fun Stuff

We had another busy and wonderful week-end!  On Friday, the kids + I met a bunch of friends + their kids at a park for a picnic lunch.  It was warm, sunny, and although we were kind of busy with the kids, we did get some visiting in! 

Then, we went home so Blake could have a nap.  After he woke up + Jared got home from work, we got ready and went to a fair.  My Mom spent most of the evening with Kiera at an area where they had big bouncy castles + slides, so we just had Blake to look after.  He was happy in his stroller almost the WHOLE evening, which I thought was a miracle!  I guess there was enough to see that he wasn't bored.

We had SO much food and it was fantastic!  Chicken wings, pork on a bun, farmer sausage burgers, ice cream, glazed donuts, popcorn (Jared + Blake had some but I didn't), mini donuts, jumbo freezies, fries, watermelon, and probably more food that I'm not thinking of!  We spent the evening with various friends who we ran into there and just totally enjoyed every part of the evening.  We saw this show which was really cool:

Jared went on a couple of rides with some friends and if I wasn’t pregnant, I probably would have gone on this one with him:

Here’s Blake groovin’ to the music

 

We stayed for the fireworks, which I LOVED and the kids really enjoyed them, too. I was very impressed! Just when I thought they were ending, they kept going and going!  

 

Kiera stayed at my parents’ house for night and she saw the parade the next day and got to go on rides!  I had a practice in the afternoon for a voice recital I was playing piano at the next day.  After that, my Mom brought Kiera back, I quickly bathed the kids, and then Jared + I went to a young adult’s bbq (a group of us from church) while my Mom babysat our kids.  After the bbq (which consisted of amazing hamburgers, steaks, salads, and watermelon), we had a few friends over and played games ‘til after midnight.

The next morning, I had to be at church for 8:00 a.m. for worship practice.  After church, we relaxed at home and then I went and played at the voice recital.  It went well and I got paid pretty good money to play piano, so that was a blessing!  I was completely exhausted by the end of the week-end, but it was worth it!
