Memorial Day Weekend



Uncle Guy and Colin



This year we spent Memorial Day at Grandma and Grandpa Shirley's house. We had fun BBQ-ng and watching Catelynn play peek a boo with Colin. Uncle Guy stopped by to visit too.

Gardening with Dad & Grandpa

Catelynn enjoyed planting seeds in our garden so much we thought she shoudd help Grandpa with his. What kid doesn't love digging in the dirt? Catelynn takes her gardening very seriously ;)






Catelynn tried to convince Colin that she should join in on the fun but he insisted that lounging was more his speed.



After all, " somebody " has to be the foreman ;)

Down on the Farm

Given Catelynn's love of animals and newfound passion for ponies we figured it was pretty much a sure thing that she would love the petting zoo that came to town for one day. Not only did they have farm animals you could feed - but unlimited pony rides too!





Catelynn kept trying to figure out how to get into the cages with the animals!



She loves " driving " the bulldozers and tractors.



Catelynn was like a duck to water once they put her up on the pony. No fear at all :)



" I want a pony! "



Yes, Colin was there. Unfortunately he wasn't as impressed.

Hindley Happening - School Fair Fundraiser

Every year one of the elementary schools holds a fund raising fair for just one day. Last year Catelynn was too overwhelmed by the noise to enjoy it but we thought we would give it another shot since she loves the Merry Go Round now. She certainly has natured a lot in the last year and had a blast!



Catelynn showed incredible restraint waiting her turn. Mom and Dada were VERY proud :)



We weren't sure how cate would do going on the rides for the first time by herself but she loved " flying ".



Everyone knows how much Catelynn loves Thomas the Tank engine. She practically knocked over a boy that was bigger than her so she could beat him onto the train.




This little Merry Go Round had all her favorites and Catelynn insisted on getting a ride on all of them before she would go home.



Unfotunately, there wasn't much for Colin to do except watch his big sister - maybe next year...



As much as she enjoyed all the other rides, there is no doubt that the Horse Carousel is still her favorite :)
