Spring Fling & Such....

Once upon a time, Gage and Daddy went camping for the weekend, and Darnin came for a quick visit! Yay!

At the same time, the neighborhood Spring Fling was happening. There were vendors, pony rides, food, bounce houses....fun times.

Eliette first wanted to ride the ponies.

After that, it was onto the little petting zoo...

Then she discovered the bounce house.
Quite possibly her first bounce house experience.... I can't remember. I know this: THIS was the moment she discovered she LOVED the bounce house!

Sweet, happy girl!

...and then it was time to go....

That, of course, didn't happen. Rather, Sister led us down a path straight to the playground....

Darnin couldn't resist, and why would she want to?
They had a blast, and I just stood back and took pictures and watched.

:)

What happened in our day after that?
A little shopping, but not much.... Darnin was reminded that day about how hard it is to shop with a toddler---when the toddler clearly doesn't want to shop!

So----we headed over to a local restaurant for dinner, and had fun with that....

Then we let E run around and play downtown for a bit.... Then we headed to Braum's for dessert....then we headed home.
:)

All the while, I got these camping pics from the guys:

Happy boys....

Back at the Casa de Lainey-Paney, someone was playing the poor-pitiful-me card....

She was tired but knew that lotion, diaper, and jammies were right around the corner.

Oh, it was just a great day.
It ended with me putting the baby to bed, and then staying up late to watch a movie with mom. {Well, I did.... Darnin fell asleep. Guess my toddler wore her out. wink*wink}
