Carousel

Cara definitely is wondering why I am ruining this perfectly good ride by taking a picture. Oh well, I guess I'm not really sure Cara... I'll think on that!

Cara: "Paparazzi"

Jordan's Furniture

The kids were sick... but not too sick to take out with strangers' kids! I brought the extra bottle of Purell and we watched their cousins fly through the air with the greatest of ease on the great trapeze. It was pretty neat.
Cara especially loved the water/light show that goes off every 30 minutes. We didn't get past this main entrance, but it was very cool.

Cara: "Look! It's a bird, it's a plane..."


Cara: "...oh, it's my cousin Kevin."
Amy: "My son Kevin!"
Brigid: "Cheese!"
Jack: "zzzzzzzzz"


He's up there!


Wet fireworks!

Christmas Morning

The kids were pretty sick Christmas, but it didn't stop them from having a great time. By Christmas Day Cara was feeling better, but Jack was getting worse. We wanted to get out to visit family but figured with all of the other little kids (cousins) it would be too risky for them. Typhoid Cara was kept home... and seemed to be fine with it -- a lot better than we were!

She woke up, got out of bed...
but dragging a comb across her head was out of the question.
There were toys to play with!
Maybe she is too young for coffee, but c'mon she clearly needs something!


Clearly she loves this Fridge DJ - that's clapping, not praying!

Christmas Photos

Why pay the folks at Babys R Us all that money for kids photos? WE provide the most important part, the kids, right? We can do it ourselves, we thought... oh man, how wrong we were!
