Amusement Park

We have been to our local amusement park a few times lately. It's always a good time.We took Mom & Dad.
Last night we took Cheyenne and they all had a great time.
She was really concentrating...no smile.
Last night all of the girls had a great time. Eli, not so much. The three little ones loved playing with their big cousin Cheyenne. The hissing goose and me telling it to 'knock it off' made a huge impression on Kat. And the goose listened as well as some other people I live with......

She's getting bigger

Though she looks pretty small in the twin bed. She can't wait to turn 5 so she can sleep in the top bunk.

Boo & the blue jays

I was trying to figure out what the blue jays had against the boys. And then Boo showed me.....

Dresses and blue jays

We went dress shopping with Cheryl to find a flower girl dress for Kat. And Cheryl & Jessica tried some dresses on also.....


Kat must have been in the pool for 4 hours on Saturday!!

Pool

This is where we will be spending our summer. I think Kat would have voted to come back to Buffalo, even if the place wasn't crawling with her cousins, friends and family, if she could only play here all summer!!

Blue jays vs Ben

Apparently, and for reasons we do not understand, Ben appears to be enemy number one for a pair of blue jays who must now share our yard.... As always, super Ben is blissfully unaware of any malice or plots toward him.

Face painting

We painted each other's faces today.... I think i was supposed be a tiger. It's an interesting interpretation, I must say... She is a lion, btw, but we didn't have anything for yellow/gold.

Moving up and an amusement park

The dads take one for their little girls.....in the tilt a whirl. Dan was feeling that all evening!
We had some of Kat's little friends from the Y (and their folks) over for a cookout. Here they are at the kids' table. So cute!

I LOVE the smile after she successfully completes her climb and slide. I'm just sorry I cut off part of her happy dance!
