Having fun at Turtle Days.

We had so much fun today. I heard that Turtle Days where going on in Busco through the radio station wmee's morning show. When I look it up on their web page I found out about Kids Fun day. At that point I talked to a coworker who lives in Churubusco about which park the kids games were at. She laughed and said there is only one. It started a 9AM. and ended at 11:30 AM. We were there the whole time. I was sooo hot. I'm not sure about the actual temp. but, I do know it was suppose to get up to 91 degrees today.

It was like a big school carnival. In the picture above Sarah is painting her pet rock. I think Miranda loved this station the most. I didn't get a picture of her because she took my undivided attention at this station. I will tell you her pet rock was still wet when we went back for it about 15 minutes later. She asked to sleep with it tonight. I thought that was funny.

I had a lot of trouble with Miranda towards the end of morning at Turtle Days. She was hot and very tired. It had been a big day. Miranda had a peanut hunt at the same time Sarah was in a hula contest so I missed getting a picture of her doing that. Coleman did a good job at a game where you use a water gun to shoot loose two liter caps off the two liters. I missed getting that picture because Miranda got excited about balloon animals. Speaking of the balloons didn't make it home they popped before we left. It's this August grass in June. Coleman and Miranda participated in the watermelon eating contest. All three of them did sack races. Miranda made her own race in between the older kids turns. They all three play numerous games. Sarah hit the target all three times in the bean bag toss. So did Miranda but she didn't get the idea of standing behind the lines. she kept walking up at arms length the throwing them.

I had to blog on this picture. None of the my kids are in this picture I just thought it was interesting that the softball girls beat the Boy scouts. There were a few less boys. It look likes a lot less but they were just pulled onto one another. We went to the parade this evening. Within a couple of minutes of getting out of the van we ran into a friend. Sarah and her daughter are best friends. Her son and Coleman are good friends. The girls and the boys are in the same class at school at least they were. It was nice sitting with friends it made the sun beating down on me for the second time today a little more bearable. I was ready for it to be over. We were at the end of the parade route. The kids still liked it. I didn't take Miranda to the parade. I felt bad but I told her if she didn't take a nap she couldn't go. she wouldn't lay down and take a nap. She ended up falling asleep around 5PM. We left about ten minutes after that. I wish she would have napped earlier. Unfortunately she slept until I got home. So she is still up it's a little after 11pm. I better get off her and make sure she falls asleep soon or she will be to tired tomorrow.
I Wish every father out there a.....
HAPPY FATHERS DAY!
