Monkey Bars

If you haven't noticed there are a pluthera of just-Carter pictures. That is only because Hailee hates the camera because it is with us for everything. So I take advantage when she isn't looking or can't stop me from taking her picture, like when she is at the park or riding a ride.

Ladybugs

This was the first ride Hailee went on and it's a good thing it was the first otherwise I don't think she would have ever gone on it after all the fast exciting rides like the adult roller coaster "The Dragon." She said it was a little scary, but I think what she didn't like was the jerking and pulling that happens when riding a coaster. She did not go on that again, but the bigger and faster the better. Her and I went on quite a few rides together. Hailee being cool in her sunglasses

Raging Rivers

It was a Tuesday when we went to the park and it was a really hot day. we were pretty much jsut able to walk on everyride without waiting except for all thge water rides, there was a short wait, long enough for a five year old to get restless. She wanted to go on the water rides to cool off.

Up in the air

This was one of the few rides that I could get some pictures of becasue on all the other rides I had to go on them with her. She is a thrill ride seeker. She really liked this one though.

Hailee, my dad, and I went on a little trip for a few day s to Adventureland Amusement Park in Des Moines, IA. Jason stayed home becasue he's a workaholic and my mom came during the day to take care of Carter. Jason said while I was gone she took over my job of taking care of him too, you know men can't survive without a good woman taking care of them. Jason was glad she was here, he said it was really helpful. We had fun, but I think Hailee was a little young to fully appreciate it, I think it was a little overwhelming for her. We stayed at Adventureland resort and has a little indoor water park, so we did alot of things and I think it was a bit too much for a just-now-five year old. She had fun though and it was nice to just be with her. I haven't blogged in a while so I have lots of pictures from the trip and other things to share.

Photography by Hailee

These pictures were taken by Hailee when she had my camera without permission. I looked through my camera and saw them and Hailee was so proud of her pictures. Carter has on purple sunglasses, not blue, and also Hailee's shoes on. Goofy children.

Circus Act

These pictures crack me up. Hailee was riding the tricycle and carter opened up the back hatch and climbed in to hitch a ride. They looked like they belonged in the circus. The funniest part was where Carter was standing there was a sticker with a pair of feet exed out, meaning you were not supposed to stand there. The wheels of the tricycle kept spinning like a car does on the ice, it was too much weight. I think you had to be there to fully appreciate the humor of it.
