Disney on Ice!

Last weekend (yes, I am behind) we went to Disney on Ice!

We have been before and really love the shows.  I always loved going as a kid too.  Grandpa wasn't feeling well so we asked Gracie's BFF Jackie if she wanted to come along.  The girls grabbed their princess dresses and out the door we went.  

And Presley was there too.  He was excited and as much as I tried to get him to dress in costume (Buzz Lightyear, Woody, even a Marvel character) he was just too cool for that.

It was a great show and it was all about the princesses and heroes.  So we saw Ariel and Eric, Snow White and Prince Charming, Sleeping Beauty and the Prince, Cinderella and the Prince, Tiana, Rapunzel and Flynn Rider, and Belle and the Beast.  And of course Mickey and Minnie were there too!

The show was super cute as it always is with Disney and the kids loved it.  They are doing a Frozen on Ice in winter which would be great to see but I think the kids are more excited next fall when the Marvel show comes to town!  Daddy is pretty stoked too!

The Tooth Fairy!

Well we were wondering if it ever was going to happen.......

But it finally did and Gracie lost her very first tooth!

Yes, it was her first tooth!  She has friends that have lost several already and not one for her.  She kept asking when it would happen.  I asked the dentist when it would happen.  I guess 7 is her lucky number because that's how old she is!  Sure enough one day she noticed her front bottom tooth was wiggling.  Barely.  I thought we had a long way to go.  But after a couple of days, she showed up at my classroom door to tell me that her tooth came out during math!  She was so excited!  I was too!  This was a long time coming!  

We came home and read the tooth fairy book!

We got our tooth pillow ready courtesy of Grandma.

The tooth fairy was ready for some time now with some glitter money and notes.

I think she thought that because this was the first tooth, it was worth $5.  I don't think that the others will be worth that much.

Someone woke up super happy and now she keeps checking daily for more loose teeth!

Sandwich Fair!

This weekend we traveled to the Sandwich Fair.  It's one of our favorite places to go and we look forward to going every year.  The kid love it!  There is so much to do and the day was perfect!  First of all the kids got to climb into machines.  

There are also tons of animals.  We went to the petting zoo and got pet all kinds of things lie piglets,  a calf, goats, bunnies, baby chicks.

We even got to try milking a cow.

I love this picture.  I take a picture by a big tire with my kids every year.  It's become a tradition.

Baby Colton came with us to but he was not digging the big tire.

The kids wanted to ride some rides so Gracie wanted me to ride the roller coaster with her.

The little ones weren't into the roller coaster so they opted for a nice drive.

And then to mix it up a little, they went on the motorcycles.

Gracie and Evie loved the swings.  In fact, they rode it twice!

We got some yummy lunch and tried to take another picture.  We have one last year of the kids at this exact spot holding Colton. As you can see, he was not happy and wanted no part of it.

Then we had to find the tractors because it's so much fun to climb on one and sit in it and pretend to drive it.

Presley was digging this orange one.  Plus he climbed it all by himself.  Orange is one of his favorite colors you know.  

And speaking of orange, we had to find the giant pumpkins and take a pic with those too.

Then we had to ride some more rides. The little ones wanted to take a fly the plane.

And Presley was pretty excited to drive a big monster truck.

He even smashed some cars.

And finally we had to check out the campers.  There are tons there and you can go in them, maybe buy one of you want.  The kids loved this one. Yes, they are in a camper that had a fireplace!  Look at all the room to play.  They begged Grandpa to buy them a camper.  

It was a great day.  We are already talking about going next year!
