Weekend Fun
Last Thursday, we took a 2 hour trip to western North Carolina to visit my aunt and uncle. We had a short but sweet visit....about 24 hours. We had not seen them since July, so we did a quick over night trip to say hi and catch up. One of these days I will get together my "penguin post"! When Beckett was little, we began taking a picture of him with the penguin on their front porch every time we visited. I have pictures of all of the kids with the penguin from the time they were each very little. One of these days I'll get around to it, but in the meantime, here are the kids with my "Auntie Mame" and her penguin!
We are getting ready for our 6 month post adoption visit from our case worker and we have to give several new pictures of Will as well as one of our family....so I had Auntie Mame take a picture of us when we went to the playground on Friday afternoon. We just don't do family pics very often...just thought I'd share!
Will enjoyed the swings at the playground! I think he would have stayed in it all afternoon and let me push him!
On Saturday evening, we were invited to a pig roast and bonfire by our friends the Guldans. The Guldans and their extended family host this event each year and they pull out all of the stops! Other than it being quite cold, it was SO fun! (Especially for Beckett and Helen!) Below is a picture of a slide that the Guldans created! The kids had a BLAST on it! This first pic is of Beckett going down the slide head first.
Here are Helen and Beckett at the top of the slide as they get ready to go down!
Another picture on the top of the slide with our friend Lake!
This was our first time to be bundled up this Fall. I thought Helen looked sweet in her toboggan! She was getting ready to take her turn on the zip line! They had a kids swing attached to a zip line; they set the kids in the swing one at a time and let them fly! I didn't get any pics, but a couple of good videos!
This is pretty much what Will did all evening. Not much fun for him....or the momma who had to try to keep him bundled up. He wanted to be down on the ground (which was still a little damp) and he was not too happy to have to just sit in his stroller. In fact at one point, while I was fixing the kid's plates with some food, Will managed to squirm out of the stroller and was pretty much hanging out the bottom! Unfortunately we (Will and I) had had enough, so our family had to leave a bit early. We HEARD that we missed a lot more fun....super big bonfire and really cool hayride! We are already looking forward to next year when Will is more mobile and we can ALL enjoy the event!
