Five Fry's: August 2009

Lagoon or Bust

Whenever a niece or nephew turns 10 we take them to Lagoon for their birthday. This year Alexandria and Madilyn both turned 10 so off we went. Lucky for Gavin he also gets to go every year. He loved the airplanes and went on them over and over. Alex and Maddy got brave and went on the Colossus with Uncle Cody.

Happy Birthday Girls!

Gavin's Big Boy Bed

He looks HUGE in his new bed! It was Cody's bed that he got when he was 8 and he has the matching dresser. We bought him a new mattress, box spring and bedding.
He's taking a picture of me taking a picture of him.

"Gavin new bed!!"
He was so excited, we had a hard time getting him off of it.

Huckleberry (Ga) Vin

For those of you who don't get my retarded humor the title is suppose to say Huckleberry Finn, now do you get it?

Wide awake and ready to go

That didn't take long
(Mom, that's one of his "airplane books" on his lap)

Lookie here, I found a handsome prince in the forest!

Time for a break and a tasty beverage

I felt this little critter run over my foot and after my heart stopped racing I found the little guy and got a picture. He was super close as you can tell. Darn little thing has one of my huckleberry's in his little paws!
(How many times can you say "little" in one caption?)

Gavin wanted to be by Caitlyn almost the entire time

He was picking Huckleberries by himself and then throwing them, which ended very quickly. I finally got him to eat one and then he wouldn't stop.

Huckleberry's
(Not to be confused with Brad Paisley's son Huckleberry)

Gavin found out it was easier to get the berries out of my bucket than pick them!

Gavin and I

These are the homes of all the little Forest Elves that come out at night and glue the huckleberry's to the bushes with super glue and then hide them under the leaves. We waited for awhile, but none of them would poke their little heads out. Legend has it that they only come out at night because they don't want the sun to fade their bright red hats.

Reed's Dairy Family Day

My little family going on the horse-drawn wagon ride around the dairy. We also got to tour the inside on the milking barn to watch them milk cows and see where it's bottled and where they make the ice cream and cheese. It was pretty boring for Gavin, but we thought it was interesting.

Gavin talking to the cow "Hi baby cow, hi"

This is how Gavin wears his hat now, clear down over his eyes so that he has to tip his head back to see. If you try to move it up so he can see he pulls it right back down.I guess I should stop letting him watch Kenny Chesney music videos and maybe he'll stop!

We waited in the clown line for about 15 minutes so he could get a balloon puppy (she didn't know how to make airplanes, his favorite) and it only took him about 15 seconds to trip and fall and pop it. I was sad and teary eyed for him and he just stood back up and said "I'm alright mom, here (and he handed me the popped puppy).
