A little more Memorial weekend fun!

We had to pack in some more family fun today before the holiday ends abruptly and we're back to work (some of us only for 9 more days) :), and so we took a road trip to Fruitport for their Old Fashioned Days.  They had an exotic zoo and plenty to do, unfortunately we were a day early for the parade, and didn't get to enjoy that.  We did, however, enjoy a pony ride and one other ride for each child.  (This fair was expensive, and, well, I'm married to a Dutch (ahem, I mean frugal) man.)

This has got to be the cutest Sandy look alike I've ever seen!!!  Who needs a llama when you have a dog that looks just like this?






Sam even begged to ride the Ferris Wheel!!!  He will just have to wait until we go to Michigan's Adventure with Grandpa.  :)


After we finished in Fruitport, we made our way to Pottawatomie Park in Grand Haven to meet an old friend, Ms. Erin and her 3 Things.  She is amazing.  She has two children AND a small baby (both of her older children are the ages of Sam and Adri).  I don't know how she does it, but I'm hoping whatever she was guzzling when she got out of her van was an energy drink!  I would need about 10 of them to keep up with her 3!

Our picnic lunch when we got to the park.  Adri insisted that we each on the ground and not at the picnic tables in order to have a picnic.



I told Sam he could put his feet in the water, guess I should have clarified what I meant by "feet".




Matt shows Thing 1 and Thing 2 how to fish...

 Meet Thing 1, Gabe.


And Thing 2, who never sits down...




And, the newest addition, Thing 3-Sophia.  Mama Erin has her hands FULL!!!

Adri was beyond excited to hold the baby.  Her first time holding a baby.

Pure sweetness.  Makes me want another one...

  1. Beautiful! Thank you for getting pictures. I didn't get many chasing after the older two Things! Thanks for the invite out as well!!! AND for holding Phia, my arms got a break. They get tired trying to protect her from the older Things all day. :)
