Saturday morning we got up and headed to Weston, MO for the 32nd Annual Apple Festival. The parade started at 10 a.m. It's a small parade and the main street, where the parade is at, is only about 5 blocks long. We went to it last year but it was very cold so we didn't stay long. Plus Henry wasn't 2 yet and it was hard to keep him still for too long. It was packed again this year and it's not easy to push a stroller around so we just let the kids walk. This year was much easier! Vivian also got her giant pickle just like last year, which she ate at 10 a.m before the parade! Last year I felt like we missed out on alot of the key things they offer at the Apple Festival so I looked online and found out they have pony rides. So after the parade we made it our mission to find the pony rides. We discovered a whole section in a park area that is catered to kids. Both kids had their first pony ride! They were both smiles the whole time!! After that we waited in line for food and by then it was almost 1 p.m. We headed home for naps.
Our neighbors had their annual Halloween party on Saturday night. About 4 p.m. we headed over to their house. There were about 14 kids and they played and played, decorated pumpkins and all got along very well. The oldest was 12 and the youngest was Henry and another boy who was 2. We got home about 9 p.m. and got the kids to bed around 9:30 p.m. Make sure you check out the picture of Vivian doing her pull up on the play set in the neighbors backyard. She is so dang strong...might have a future gymnast on our hands. Crazy!!
Vivian has gone 5 days in a row without having an accident in her bed!! She wakes me up every night to go to the bathroom, but heck, she's not going in the bed and if we get have one kid fully out of diapers/pull ups we'll take it!! Henry is showing some interest in the potty and really likes the bedtime pull ups as opposed to the nighttime diapers.
Sunday morning we got up and I got my long run in....8.3 miles. Dan did his long run later in the day....7 miles. Our half marathon is in 2 more weeks!! Still not sure what we were thinking on that one! Vivian went to the grocery store with me and Henry went to Cabela's with Dan. The kids played outside most of the day and again we had beautiful weather.
This week we have a Carnival at the LUMC - where the kids go to school. It's Thursday night - they have pizza, bake sale and games for the kids to play and win prizes. Henry will be even more excited about it this year since it's actually his school too! We are hoping to take the kids camping next weekend on Friday - our first camping trip. We are only going about 30 mins outside of KC so in case we need to pack up camp and come home we will be able to do that. Should be interesting!
