We started out at the boys first t-ball game, where Tanner and Tyler played on the 4 year old Cardinals team and they both hit the ball and ran the bases. Grandma, Grammie and Grandpa all joined us at the t-ball game and were witness to the fun of t-ball!
After t-ball we went out to our new house. Thomas drove us all over to the house from the daycare, which for the grandparents was and adventure, because they all hitched a ride in the back of the pickup! While we were there we looked at how the stone was transforming the look of the exterior and we checked on the inside to make sure everything looked good...and it did!
After visiting our house, we went downtown to enjoy the Rivers and Spires festival. This is a yearly event that sets up concert stages and kid areas around 8 blocks of downtown. While here we walked the streets looking at the wares of the various vendors. The kids got to play in the kid area by bouncing and sliding down huge inflatables. We ran into the Nelson gang just in time for the childrens parade and so we joined them to watch that. Then Thomas and I went in search of food, where we found funnel cakes! (I had been wanting a funnel cake since the last carnival type thing we attended!)
After eating our funnel cakes, we wandered some more where we came across a big kid play area. I tried my hardest to get Thomas to velcro himself to the wall of one of those giant inflatables, but he would not do it unless I did so....I did! It was really hard to move in that suit and was harder than it looks, but was a bunch of fun. Thomas followed me and did a little better than me by getting a little further up the wall!
Right next to the velcro wall was a rock climbing wall and our big man Tanner wanted to climb up. We let him, I was worried that he would be to small, but he wasn't and I was biting my nails the whole time! He made it a little ways up and then slipped, but he was so brave and did such a great job!
After Tanner climbed the wall we went back to the truck in search of some real food (Thomas likes to eat!). We ended up at O'Charleys, where we ate lunch / dinner.
The weather was still nice so we walked over to the Riverwalk and playground over there, where the boys and Tapanga enjoyed playing and sliding for a while.
We left the park and were on our way back to the van and the kids all fell asleep in the truck. Thomas wanted help putting his new truck bed cover on the back of his truck so while the kids slept he and I attached his new cover. Afterwards, we went home, the kids and Thomas played and worked outside till dark. At dark, in come the kids for a bath!
What a busy day we had! The weather was beautiful and the company was grand! I love spending time with our little family on days like today!
the velcro wall looks really cool!
