This past weekend, we made our annual appearance at the Greek festival. Mommy totally forgot about it but Miss Leigh reminded us at the last second. Thank goodness, because we love it! Daddy picked you up early from school and took you to his work where you, as always, were impressive to his co-workers. And, apparently, you found a new favorite snack - peanut butter pretzel things! Someone gave you one (or maybe like 20) and Daddy found them at Publix, and well, to say the least, they are now a staple at our house!! I met you two at his work and we headed to the festival.
We headed straight to the jumpy house and low and behold, guess who was jumping away??? Ryan! You joined him and the 2 of you were able to jump for a long time, sometimes with other folks, but a lot of times with just the 2 of you! After the jumpy house, the two of you headed to the jumpy slide!!! You were supposed to only go 5 times, but I think you ended up going like 50!! Towards the end, you ended up going down your belly and just as we were getting off, someone told the ticket man that you are NOT supposed to do that!! Ha, they don't know who they are messin' with! But, we moved on to yet another jumpy thingy - this one was a caterpillar. After all the jumpiness, we headed to the playground for a little bit and then, out of nowhere, you wanted to ride the horses. Now, keep in mind, the second we walked towards those horses earlier, you got very nervous and insisted Daddy hold you. But, somehow you conquered your fear whether it be from those jumpy houses or the playground, or maybe Ryan pumped you up. Regardless, you were ready to ride. And so we did!
Daddy walked beside you, just in case you, I mean, the horse got a little spooked. But you did just fine!!
PS - i forgot the camera, so these pics are from my cell, which, well, is just not my camera... Oh well, live and learn :)
After the horse back riding, we needed to get some yummy food, and so we did!!! We ate with Ryan and his family and listened to lots of fun Greek music and soon after decided we needed some delicious Greek deserts!! Oh and you and Daddy played few games, one where you went fishing and caught a candy necklace. I'm not sure who enjoyed it more, you or Daddy.... All in all, a fun day at the festival!
On Saturday, we ran a few errands that morning and got things ready for the big game! Okay, it wasn't exactly a HUGE game, but it was the first game for me and Daddy to watch, so it was big to us! We made dip, got dressed in our orange, and of course, had a few friends over. Daddy even grilled out kabobs for us!!! Ryan and little bro Jake and his parents came over, and Miss EP brought Baby Grant for a little bit. You insisted I get this one toy out for Baby Grant to play with, but I think you played with it more than him! Mr. Jay and Uncle Jaybee were there too, but Ellie is with her Nona right now, so she couldn't make an appearance. You and Ryan had lots of fun while we watched lots of football. It was a perfect day outside, so ya'll spent some time out there...
Hmmmm... looks like you two were doing something you know you shouldn't have been doing... After lots of playing (including Ryan getting to jump in the trampoline!!), we called it a night. We had to rest because guess what tomorrow was? Another day of football... Welcome to fall my darling.
That's right, on Sunday, we headed over to Uncle Jaybee's to watch the Titans game. As expected, he went all out, including lots of balloons and this obnoxious blow up football player thing. I only say it's obnoxious because you would NOT go near it, and of course it was in the room that we were watching the game. You completely freaked out about it, as if it were a real giant or something. You had to be held if you came even close to it and there were moments of tears. To say the least, you and I spent a lot of time downstairs by ourselves... Finally we convinced Uncle Jaybee to be nice and turn the darn thing off and you joined us, but about that time Ryan woke from his nap and the 2 of you watched Rio (PS this is by far your new favorite movie!!!). I got to watch a little of the game, but we're going to have to work on getting you comfortable with blow up football players :)
Sunday afternoon was lazy, lazy, lazy - quite awesome if I do say so myself!
We're still waiting on your baby sister to make her appearance. Mimi is coming up this weekend with the hope that all will go down by Monday morning!!! Let's just wait and see - ha!!! I'm growing just as impatient as you :)
Love you big sis!!!
