Weekend of Fun in Des Moines!!!

August 11 and 12th, Kali and I had our last hooray of the summer and had a girls weekend.  We went to the State Fair and Adventureland with Michelle and Brianna and two of Brianna's cousins, Quinton and Audrey.  This was Kali's 2nd time at the fair and first time at Adventureland.  It's been a looooonnnnnnggg time since I have been two either place!!!WE had a BLAST!!! 

At the fair, Kali saw all sorts of animals, milked a cow, got a henna tattoo, bungee jumped on a trampoline, arts and crafts, was a farmer......I think we did about everything there except for the rides since we were saving that for Adventureland the following day.

 
The above picture was in an old telephone booth!  Silly girls!








 
We sat down and had a bite to eat and Kali had to rest!  Kali had been swimming the day before at Jordan's going away party, so she was a tired girl!!!  Good thing Michelle mentioned bringing strollers because we did a lot of walking and we didn't have to hear any complaining about being tired.  The kids were so well behaved and got along so well!!!!  It was perfect!
 


 
Michelle and Brianna!

 
 
 
Farmer Kali!
 

 
I didn't really get a good picture of Kali jumping on BIG trampoline!  But she loved it.  She was doing double flips!
 
After the fair, we went to the Cheese Cake Factory. I have never been there before.  It was delicious!
 
The next day we were off to Adventureland.  Kali LOVED the rides.  She is a thrill junkie! :)  She went on all four roller coaster and every ride she was tall enough to go on.  Too bad the Silly Silo was not working....LOL!  That was one ride, I would have opted out of!  Kali's favorite ride was probably the Falling Star or the Log Ride!!!  Kali and Audrey were in the front on the log ride and Brianna and I were in the back.  Kali got drenched, since she was the first one.  I didn't hardly get wet at all because Brianna was sitting in front of me.  I guess I planned that right!!!  Thanks Brianna!!!  We went on the Falling Star twice.  It was Kali's first ride at Adventureland, she was screaming so hard that her gum popped out of her mouth....it was sooo funny listening to her scream and giggle with delight!  Half way through the day, we went to the water park, Adventureland Bay!  It was really nice!  We went down several water slides and spent a lot of time on the lazy river and the wave pool!  It was a fun filled day!!!!  
 
 



 
The above picture was on the Outlaw!
 
 
Kali won this teddy bear on her first attempt playing a game!!! That's my girl!!! :) 
 
Hoyt didn't make the trip, but he had a nice weekend with Dad.  They went fishing, went to a buddy's house, and got to mow with his Dad, one of Hoyt's favorite things to do.  Hoyt will make the trip next year :)
 
Here are a few pictures of Hoyt at Daycare.
 
 


Hoyt and his stuffed dog goulash! I have no idea how he came up with the name! :)

 
He is ALL BOY!!!!
