Our Church put together a Family Fun Day . . . it took place last Saturday and then again today. It was raining last week (and we had a busy day) so we decided to go today. Daryl's Mom and her husband were here so we had extra hands to help with the kids. My Mom came along as well! The kids had a blast but it was so cold. The wind chill was under 10. We stayed for about an hour. The first half we spent outside at the petting zoo and riding the ponies. The second half was inside warming up and enjoying hot chocolate and popcorn. We stayed for when they turned on the Christmas lights and then we took off for home, warmth, and supper!
Checking out the ducks. Samuel loved feeding them!!
Samuel got into it the most. Hope was a little unsure. Aliyah hates to walk in the snow with her boots on so I just put her in the ergo and carried her that way. It worked out alright but I think she got cold pretty fast because she wasn't moving around at all.
Showing Aliyah the pig
The pig was doing a lot of squealing/grunting and Samuel thought it was absolutely hilarious! He would start laughing every time! It was priceless.
Trying to keep warm!! (Edited on 12/29/11: See the snow? We haven't had much more than that this year!)
Samuel and Hope were both brave enough to take a pony ride! They both loved it. It was fun to see their smiles of delight!
Once inside the Church to warm up and have some hot chocolate and popcorn, we met up with some friends that were caring for this sweet little girl. Her name is Callie, isn't she precious? Aliyah immediately fell in love with her and didn't leave her side until we told her it was time to say goodbye to Callie and head for home. Hope was also pretty fascinated with her and now has a baby that she calls "Callie"
