28th Annual PARK n' SHINE |
Early Pic! |
Today we gathered up the kids and headed out in the "old car" to the 28th annual Park n' Shine.
It was a "cool" day for the cruise across town!
We loaded up the family, a little picnic lunch, and a car full of enthusiastic travelers...eh, kinda!
Let's see...Hubby only got two hours of sleep (he worked the night before).... the girls were TIRED...because they had to get up entirely TOO early for a SUNDAY...and Mama had to get up even earlier than the FAM to get things ready to GO and make sure we did not forget anything, especially since we were going to SOCCER for Miss Six's first game right, smack, dab in the middle of the day.
They are THRILLED...Trust Me |
But, with a little grumpy spell, the car was running good, we got her clean, made it to the show, had a hot dog and a Police Officer bought our girls Fries, which was super nice..because this Mom and Dad do not carry cash and only had enough $$ for the dogs (opps!)
Now it is TIME to pay it forward because to be honest...me and Hubby were SHOCKED by this wonderful act of kindness!

SEE,,,I promise they are having a great time! |
Our day was going great.
The girls were having a blast. Miss Six even had her eyes on an older Nomad that she was just "in love" with!
Silly Girl!
Then the time came when we had to exit to make it to the Soccer Game...
Well, we are terrible parents...we were blocked in, as it was kind of the middle of the show.
Unfortunately, we had to "SKIP" soccer.
Eh.
Miss Six was super understanding..she even wanted to stay at the car show because she was having "a really good time".
Sorry Soccer...
But, next weekend is a double game weekend, so maybe that will lessen the guilt!
Friends showed up. They brought their kids.
The world was just right!
We had a blast.
What a great FAMILY DAY!
Wish they all could be like this.
The time came to head back a crossed town. We picked up some chicken to BBQ and got to work!
After a nice dinner (we have been eating at the formal dining room table often) we had friends over and got to playing with the four wheeler's and go cart.
Needless to say, fresh air (although a bit chilly) and lots of play today made this one a great one.
Until next weekend!
Because you know it's that time of the year....All Football talk...ALL the TIME.. (I'm already SO over it!) |
Enjoy our day in pictures
(yes, I got a little camera happy with the car! Love our car...after fourteen years it is still building so many great memories!).
