Hey Everyone!

This week we went to a pumpkin patch theme park of sorts in Gretna, Nebraska. It's a local hot spot where they serve up turkey legs, kettle corn, homemade pies, caramel apples, etc. They have pedaled go-cart tracks, pony rides, pumpkin launchers, dog shows, pig races, and other crazy stuff. Some of our highlights were the Big Jumping Pillows (huge tarps at least 35 feet long and 15 feet wide staked down on the sides and filled with air).

 The Dried Corn Kernel pit.

and the Big Slide with burlap sacks.

We also liked the hayrack ride on the tractor, and had to snuggle because it was getting a little cold. :)

Grady got cold........Brrrrrrr

Easter

McKay had a fun time painting eggs this morning.  We opted for a less traditional sponge painting project because we thought he would enjoy that more at this age than color dipping.  We only a dozen, but that was plenty for our little family.

We got a kite.  I Natalie had more fun with it that McKay.  She somehow convinced McKay to hold the kite and throw it into the wind so she could fly it more than vice versa.

McKay had fun finding eggs.  Last year he was more interested in the leafs and grass than the egg hunting, but this year he caught on to the game.  Grady hardly
moved from where we put him down.


Grady is getting to be a noisy little guy.  He sounds more like a gremlin than a child sometimes.  We'll let you decide for yourselves (video below)!
