Carnival FUN

The carnival came to the Orchard mall by our house and so of course Megan spotted the rides and just had to go.  We were more than happy to take her.  She loves riding rides (just like her daddy) and can't get enough of them.  We all rode the ferris wheel together and then she rode the rest of the rides by herself.  She even rode the rickety, old carousel all by herself.  I was so scared she was going to fall right off, but she held on and did great.

Our first camping trip this year

Yea!  Camping season is here.  We wanted to go camping this last weekend, but we didn't have reservations anywhere.  So, Robert drove the camper up on Thursday night after work to get a spot and then set it up and drove home so he could go to work on Friday.  What a devoted father.  Then on Friday afternoon we headed up.  Robert found a great little campsite up just past Nederland.  We finished setting up camp and then enjoyed dinner and smores around the campfire.  Megan doesn't really like smores (like her mommy) but she loves roasted marshmellows.  She likes her daddy to toast them over the campfire and then hand the gooey marshmellow to her.  Needless to say, she ends up a sticky mess. 

The next day after breakfast and a little hammock fun, we decided to go horseback riding.  Just down the road from our campsite was a little place that advertised horseback riding.  Megan was so excited to go on a real horse ride.  Since she was only 2, she had to ride with someone that worked there.  At first we wondered if she would be OK with that, but she didn't mind as long as she got to ride a horse.  Her horses name was Poppy, and she has been talking about Poppy ever since.
