Another super fun week at home with the boys. We have been SO busy and doing so many fun things. Life will go back to normal next week, but for now, we’ve been having a blast!
Monday
On Monday, we started the day at the park. We were playing PJ Masks, which was just me chasing the boys yelling, “I’ll steal your powers! I’ll get you! Rawr” over and over while chasing them. They scream. Repeat. At one point, we had about 6 little kids all playing. I’m not sure what their parents thought- they didn’t come rescue their children, so they must not have thought I was entirely crazy.
After burning off some energy, we went to see a movie- this was the first time the boys have been to a theater. I think it was the first time in 4 years I had been to a movie theater too. We’ve seen the first 3 Toy Story movies approximately 100 times each, so it was fun to see Toy Story 4. The boys did great- Augustus got a little wiggly towards the end, but it was a fun way to spend a rainy afternoon.
Tuesday
On Tuesday, we went to Fawn-Doe-Rosa, which is a wildlife educational park. I follow several mom blogs and this place was all the rage this summer. About a month ago, while driving the golf cart one evening, Augustus and I saw a deer, and for the rest of the summer, he repeated, “more deer” every time we got on the golf cart. So I was excited to go here and see “more deer”. It did not disappoint! We arrived right away in the morning, and that must be when the deer are the hungriest, because there were several that were waiting at the entrance and came right up to us. I was magical!
We had lunch and played on the playground, fed a few more deer and then it was time to head home. But just a few miles down the road is Franconia Sculpture Park, which has been on my “to visit” list for along time! Since we’d driven all the way out there, I decided just to swing in and check it out briefly. We ended up being there for an hour and could have stayed longer, but Augustus started laying down on the sculptures and the sky was threatening rain, so it was time to go! But we will definitely go back- there were a lot of things to do and climb on and we had a lot of fun!
Wednesday
On Wednesday, my mom and I took the kids to the State Fair! I love the fair. I wasn’t sure how it would go with kids, but they did so well! We rode the ferris wheel, went down the giant slide, ate corn dogs and cookies and slushies and ice cream (and didn’t puke after all that). Xander played in the arcade and we watched the parade (Augustus kept saying, “Whoa!”). It was a great first fair experience!
