So after what appeared to be a completely ruined day we managed to make it out to Springfest at Epiphany Church with Carrie, Rob and 1.5 yr old Logan. The boys ooohed and ahhhed over everything but when it came down to it, Riley was a complete chicken! Logan couldn't wait to get on all the rides and showed his enthusiasm with a wide open grin and lots of "ooooo's" but Derrick could hold his arms out straight and prove just how tightly Riley was holding on like a spider monkey or Level 5 cling-on! He did go on a few rides and after watching the boys have all the fun the mommy's took the kiddos on the ferris wheel. I don't do real well with heights but having my child, my heart, my breathe of life on my lap made me nearly faint with fear. There was no bar that came down on our laps and the rickety old doors weren't locked so you could see a crack to what lies beneath. I managed to keep it together and surprisingly this was the one ride Riley really enjoyed! In the end the boys won lots of prizes and had fun together so really that's what it's all about. I can't explain the joy you get from watching your children interract and explore with other kids. I get very addicted to it and can't do enough with Riley when it involves other kids.
After the afternoon in the sun I raced home for my first annual Mom's club banquet and first without Riley event ever! It was hosted at Billy's in Anoka and we had a blast! The new board was 'sworn' in and between the games, prizes, dinner, cake and 80's attire we were having fun and enjoying eachother's company. I even won an award for being a mom who juggles full time work and motherhood! My first year with the Mom's club has been awesome and I am so thankful to all the ladies who are so easy to get along with and have accepted Riley and I from day 1! Laura-you did a great job as president and I can't wait to see the new baby soon. Di, Christina, Chelsea, Andrea, Michelle, Missy and the others I look forward to every play group and outing we go to and am so glad to have found you all! I can't wait for June's MNO and Eclipse!
Girls just wanna have fun!
More pictures to come as I get some from the group...I set my camera down for the evening! : )
