I worked until midnight Friday so got to bed about 1:30 AM. We got up shortly after 6 and went to Swisher for the big Carter sale. We managed to hit a couple of garages sales too. Then it was a quick trip home, a stop at the chiropractor, and onto St. Luke's 125th Anniversary Celebration.
Shaun got a shirt and was in a picture of babies born at St. Luke's. Then we hit the "fair". I had no idea how much stuff was going to be there and we ended up spending two hours there. We ended up with two sweatshirts, two t-shirts, a jump rope, water bottle, backpack, pinwheels, visor, bike helmet and more. We also got to enjoy cupcakes, popcorn, snack mix, and cotton candy while there. Katelyn got to play some games and if not for the huge fear, could have had her picture taken with McGruff the Crime Dog, Lovey Bear, and the Roughrider mascot. She also got fingerprinted and both kids had their height and weight taken.
They had two sizes of shirts for Shaun; one that would fit that today but not tomorrow and one that will fit in two years, so I planned ahead, lol.
I have a feeling we will have to be very specific with our rules for her, I like her way of thinking though, lol. This booth was ran by the Cedar Rapids Parks and Rec who I made sure to let know how much we LOVE them. They allowed Dalton to play one level below his age and he has excelled. Unlike flag football he is on the ball all of the time (according to him, he's velcroed to the ball). This league has high school kids for coaches instead of one of the parents, they start out teaching them skills via games and with each kid having their own ball. I don't know if it's the difference in sports, the method of teaching, the coaches or what, but it's the difference between night and day for Dalton and is doing wonders for his self esteem.
Another bean bag toss.
Wearing her new bike helmet.
We stopped at Pool & Spa Warehouse for chemicals to get the hot tub cleaned and refilled. They were having their annual sale so we got free hot dogs/brats, chips, and pop.
We stopped at home briefly and let the kids continue their nap in the van. Then we headed up to HyVee for kids day. They had a police car, firetruck, command center, and lifeguard on hand for the kids to climb on, have pictures taken with, etc. We also got some BBQ ribs from the rib wagon there that day.
Hopefully this is the only time she's in there.
We timed it perfect so that we were there when lifeguard took off.
Then we went to Thomas Park as Dalton's Cub Scout pack was picking up trash. After they picked up trash, we played for an hour.
Katelyn mastered going up and down the slide all by herself.
Shaun enjoying Thomas Park.
After a stop at Wal Mart, we went home to clean out and refill the hot tub, play outside, and eat supper outside before settling down to watch the Nascar race.
She loves her brother.
It was a busy, long, fun, cheap, and exhausting day.
