Every day's a holiday with...

Growing up, Pullen Park was always one of my favorite treats, and taking my kids there now is no different. It's straight out of the scenes of Mary Poppins. From the shady trees covering blooming flowers and happy ducks, to the carousel and train, all it's missing is a few waddling penguins.

Hailey was thrilled to be there.
Her very favorite part was the boat rides. The first time around was a warm up, and I am so proud of her for jumping in even though she was nervous...because, as you can see, by the second time she was woopin' it up.Keelyn clung onto me for dear life on the train and carousel, because, you know, I see it my duty to continue the tradition of finding new ways to terrify my kids. But...she did quite a bit of dancing to the carousel music from the walkway nearby, and as you can see, she sure loved the man holes!
And she had a great time with her big sister.
And then: BEWARE OF WANDERING BABIES...
Keelyn realized it was really funny to put her blankie over her head and wander around the house until she either, a) ran into something, or, b) fell down, or c) all of the above. Of course by the time I got the camera out five minutes into the game, she'd grown a little smarter and was walking more cautiously, but it was still a hoot. I was laughing so hard I could hardly breathe. So, enjoy laughing at my ridiculous kid!
