Weekend

We had a really good weekend. The weather was wonderful Thursday-Saturday.

On Friday night once I got off work we went out to dinner and then went to the carnival that comes to town every year. Alyssa remembered it from last year and was so excited to go. We bought 16 tickets and they had used those in about a 30 minute time span. We had to carry Colin out of the carnival crying. We promised to go back on probably Sunday. Unfortunately the weather turned bad on Sunday and we weren't able to go back. We are going to try to go on Wednesday. They went on a pretty fast twirly roller coaster. Colin really liked it, Alyssa said she liked it but Chris said her face wasn't so sure. We also went on the super tall slides that you ride down on a sack.
  The kids also were able to do a fair amount of rides by themselves and they liked that.

On Saturday Chris had other plans so the kids and I, along with a good friend of Colin's and her mom headed off to Eckerts in Bellville to have some Easter fun. We got to hold a baby bunny, a baby chick and pet baby ducks. We got to ride a tractor, search for eggs, get face painted, decorate cookies, see the Easter bunny and plant some seeds. The kids had a blast and enjoyed it. We then went to a late lunch and came home.
Later that evening we went out and got new tennis shoes for the kids and they were also super excited about that.

On Sunday we had some storms that came through so we stayed around the house most of the day, but did go out in the evening for dinner at a good pizza place. The pizza place has the kitchen open so you can see into it. The kids enjoyed watching the guy throw the dough and make the pizzas. The guy enjoyed playing with the kids as well. He was throwing flour at them, then at one point put up plastic against the window so they couldn't see in anymore.
  Alyssa loved the pizza. This is exciting because we have tried pizza from many places and so far we can only get her to eat Little Caesars or Papa Johns. But she ate three pieces of Dewy's pizza last night and another two of it tonight.

It was a good weekend. We are now back into the week and both Chris and I are fighting head colds that seem to be winning right now.
