Black Eyes & Birthdays

 Just because he is so stinkin cute....


One fine day, Grace and Max were playing.  You know that saying it's all fun and games until someone gets hurt?  Well Max was being Captain America, and he wacked Grace with his shield.  She wouldn't let me post the pictures, and it took a long time for her to let me take a picture of her.

 By the next day her nose was swollen and her other eye was black too, now almost two months later you can still see the remnants of the black eye.  

 This is how Grace sleeps, spread out, feet sideways.  She is impossible to sleep with!

 We also made another trip to Lagoon for my birthday, we went with my brother Patch and sister Cassie this time. We let the kids play in the splash pad area, which is not something I've ever done before, but I brought them a change of clothes.  Grace was done after a few minutes, but Max loved it.  He played for almost an hour, we were all so bored by the time he was done, but it was well over 100 degrees that day so I'm sure it felt so nice.

 I have almost 20 pictures and 3 video's of Max playing he was so cute.

A couple funnies.... the day before Mike had commented that Bennett had never had a blow out...wouldn't you know it, his first blow out was at Lagoon!  Glad I always have a change of clothes for him.

We rode Wicked while Cassie watched the kids, I'm not kidding when I say I was not in the seat right.  I have been on it before and this time I almost fell out, my bar wasn't tight enough and I couldn't get it tighter.  I felt money coming out of my pocket, but when we finished my brother said I could thank him anytime.  He reached his hand out to catch the money when he saw it and instead caught my keys!  I hadn't even realized I lost them, and actually I had two sets in my pockets, and the other ones fell to the depths of Wicked.  Lagoon actually found them and we got them back, but that's a ride I'm glad to walk away alive from!
