Busy Busy

Well, we had quite a busy weekend. Thursday afternoon Aaron and I took Anna Grace up to the mall to play on the play area. It's one of the few free things to do in this heat. I'm not sure who had more fun, Aaron or Anna Grace.

Thursday evening we went to the Homecoming Parade. Did I mention this was MUCH cooler when we actually got to be in it? Thankfully Anna Grace didn't realize how lackluster it really was. She loved the band and looking at all of the children on the floats. Several of her buddies joined us for the occasion!

Friday we went to Paradise Pond. If you haven't taken your toddler, I highly recommend it. It's only a dollar to get in and tons of fun! Now that the big kids are in school, the little ones can play on everything without being knocked around. However, watch out for bullies. And by that I mean parents. Anna Grace has fully mastered "Please" and "Thank You" (Peas and tank tou!) and almost has waiting her turn down too. It's hard to teach her this when other parents encourage cutting, don't make their children take turns, and altogether ignore bad behavior. Ugh. Go back to kindergarden people.

Saturday Nanna and I took Anna Grace to the St. Ann's Carnival while Aaron coached his hockey tournament. It was HOT. When we tried to show AG how to fish for a rubber duck, she sat down, started taking her shoes off and was ready to hop in! So after some roasted corn (yes, she preferred that to a snow cone) and some music, we headed to Sugie and Granddads' house for a swim.

Sunday was busy so we ended the day with a relaxing bubble bath! There isn't a better way to top off the great weekend.
