Mall of America

I can't believe I let Cameron go on this ride. It's sort of like The Giant Drop at Great America but not as tall (but it's pretty tall). Once he got on it, I wanted to pull him off but I didn't want to scare him from trying new things.

If you can see the first picture, Cameron wanted to talk to the boy next to him(he was probably 14 or 15) but the kid was scared SHITLESS! It was pretty funny to see Cameron looking at him and trying to talk to him but the kid wanted no part of it.

Cameron looks so little in the seat!!! I was getting a little nervous that he really wasn't really big enough for this. I thought they might have had the height sign wrong.

Good ol' Kaity took Cameron on some of the little kiddie rides and they both had a good time! (: The first picture isn't the clearest (I NEED to take a camera class!) but it shows how much fun they had. Here is Cammie having fun on the kid's bumper cars! The first couple times he got hit he was REALLY surprised!!! It was hilarous to watch his face when he got hit!

Great America

What a fun day!! We went to Great America with church yesterday and had a blast! Who knew that an amusement park could be relaxing. It was hot and sunny and hot and hot and hot but we didn't let that stop us. The kids went with their friends to all of the big rides and we (Grandma Roxie came with us) took Cameron on rides. He's only 2 1/2 and he trucked it the whole day! We took him on big rides (The Whizzer) and he also got to enjoy the little kids rides too. Chris took him on some of the little kids rides! It was cute! Grandma had fun riding with Cam too.

We went to my cousin's graduation party at my Uncle Vico's house last Sunday! Here's a picture of Chris, Cam and Ray riding on the golf cart. Chris had a blast driving the golf cart around and around and around. Of course, he was ready to buy one. I'm not sure where he thought he was going to drive it. He told me around the neighborhood and I said what a wise investment (NOT!).

Here's a picture of Uncle Vico, Kaitlyn and Cameron! I've got some great memories of my Uncle Vico's farm. He use to be a vegetable farmer and we would go and help at his vegetable stands sometimes! We even got to go out and pick vegetables too. I wish the kids got a chance to do simple things like that! I know I've said this before but if I could I'd love to live in the 1800's when life was much, much simpler! I know it sounds crazy but just think of how easy life would be. Once you give it some thought, you might even agree!

Trip to Mall of America

We just got back from Mall of America! It was an interesting trip to say the least but I definitely learned a lot about our family. We went with my parents, sister, niece and all of us. We spent a lot of time together as an immediate family but I definitely feel like I would have liked to spend more time with my parents. There priorities are a lot different since my niece was born but that's life. The kids went out trick or treating and we took Cameron around the neighborhood. He did a good job; he even put on his costume! What a sweet giraffee he was! He really liked seeing Grandma Irene (Chris' mom) and Nala (the neighbor's dog). Grandma Irene is such a great lady! I'm so happy that she puts us first and almost always makes us a priority. She really loves her grandkids and it shows.
