Let's go fly a kite!

So, I think this is the best $2 toy purchase I've ever made. We found this kite on clearance at Target today and brought it home. As soon as we walked in the door Zoey was begging to go fly it. After looking out the window for even a little hint of wind I was trying to figure out how I was going to explain it to her once we made it outside only to have the kite not leave the ground. I guess the joke was on me because the little scrappy thing took right off. We must have flown it for at least an hour and Zoey was squealing with joy the whole time. I was worried that we were going to miss this moment but thank goodness for camera phones! If you haven't flown a kite recently Zoey highly recommends it.

Bohemia Mining Days...

So, the Bohemia Mining Days in Cottage Grove. It's kind of like a cross between the Philomath Frolic and Rodeo and the Fall Festival EXCEPT Bohemia Mining Days is about a quarter of the size. Grandma and Jerry came down to visit in the morning and we headed for the park. Zoey got to ride on the train and eat cotton candy for the first time. She was disappointed that the carnival wasn't open yet so we headed back again in the evening. Apparently we have an adrenaline junkie on our hands. Zoey would have stayed at the carnival all night to ride if we would have let her. After the first round on the roller coaster I thought she may be a bit terrified but the next thing I knew she had her hands up in the air like all the other little kids. Zoey was having so much fun on one of the rides she suckered the operator in to letting her ride once for free. Lucky Zoey got her mom's looks because I never could have pulled that off.

Fun at the park...

I swear the same thing was happening with my hair after I went down the slide but the picture didn't do it justice. So, here is what Zoey's hair looked like.

The last few months and a busy weekend.

Here is a little taste of what we have been up to. A special thanks to Aunt Christina and Uncle Brian for taking the day off work on Friday and taking us to the zoo!
