We took the kids to the bumper car place this year and Elaina was VERY concerned that she wasn't going to be tall enough to do anything. She's convinced herself that she's just as old, just as capable, and you better recognize.... Anyway, as luck would have it she was just a smidge over the line to be able to ride with a parent.
That made her all smiles:)
So off we went! We got stranded once because Bobby is a race car nutbag and he plowed us into the wall. Other than that it was a smooth ride!
G slowed down long enough to snap a pic with me.
We also had our annual night at Baytowne to see the fireworks. This makes the third year in a row that it's rained on firework night. That's such a bummer. Luckily this year the rain stopped long enough for the show to go on.
The rain actually moved through while we were eating dinner so we didn't get completely drenched. Good timing!
Here's my Baytowne crew. I never got my good camera out because of all the stinking rain. Rain and nice cameras don't mix well.
Elaina saw the huge trampolines ("jumpy thing") and could not get it out of her head. So, in the name of cuteness, we ponied up the $25 and I waiting in line with her and hoped it didn't start raining again when it got to her turn. That would have been a complete disaster:/
She waited veeerrry patiently until she could get weighed to jump. The low weight limit was 25lbs and she weighed 25lbs exactly. I'm glad she ate all those fries at dinner:)
She got strapped in....
and was ready to go! She's a big blurr in all the action pictures my phone took. Trust me....this was one of the best days of her life. She cackled and squealed the whole time.
$25 well spent for memories she'll treasure until next week!:)
