Free Ride

A few weeks ago we were able to go to my dad's company picnic with some of my family. It was the perfect place to take the kids because EVERYTHING was FREE. Nothing is better than taking your kids to a carnival type event and never having to say No because we didn't have to spend a penny - Thank You Carpenters Union!



Some of the fun events were bouncy houses, huge blow up slides, rock wall, balloon animals, a few carnival games, BBQ, snow cones, Schwann's ice cream and the best of it all - PONY RIDES!



Something came over my usually reserved, timid, scaredy cat kids -especially Macie! She wanted to go down the slides by herself and they both actually did the pony rides! We couldn't believe it! They stood in line with my mom and brother in law Bryan while we watched, taking bets on if they would actually do it! We were so proud and they loved it (probably helped that we had someone else take them).



We also did a quick birthday celebration for my sister Shayla's 23rd birthday! Love you Shay!

Yay for FREE STUFF! That is the best, especially because all those little things tend to add up in the end! Looks like lots of fun! Oh and I told AJ about your comment of our husbands being alike. He's like "is that the guy in those awesome christmas sweater pictures?" And of course it is! :)

How great is that? I'm very excited about Ryan's new job, because it seems like his company will do fun family days like that. And way to go Macie! Don't you love it when you're kids get brave out of the blue? It is very rare for Brenna, but still a big deal!
