First week of Summer Vacation

On Monday, we invited the neighbor kids over to play in our pool.  I love how well Clara and Ericsson play with their younger siblings!
Tuesday we got to go to a movie, which Clara loved and Joe loved being able to climb on railings, run up and down the aisle, and do anything but watch the movie....  Good thing it's a matinee so that Joe was definitely not the only kid being loud.
Wednesday we got to go to story time at the library.  Joe really missed his music class for this last month, and I'm so glad we get to start going again!
Thursday was Seven Peaks.  I love the pass of all passes, and am so glad we invested in them!
Friday was a day of much needed rest!
Saturday we got to go to the Pony Express Days Carnival!  We splurged this year and bought day passes, so the kids could go on as many rides as they wanted.
It took Joe a while to warm up to the rides.  This was his very first ride, and he hung onto me for dear life the entire carrousel ride.
The second ride also wasn't any fun for  him, even with Dad cramming in with him, he was very apprehensive.
We assumed he would love the boat ride as his third ride:
Just as I was regretting paying for his all day pass, he started to get used to things.  After a while he would get mad when the rides stopped. He kept signing the word "again" over and over.  So glad the day turned out to be good for everyone.
Clara was even brave enough to try some of the older rides.  She got to ride the Ferris wheel over and over again with Jeremy.
Clara is already counting down the days until next year's carnival!
