Fall Fun with Cousins

We had a fun day with cousins today at Silver Dollar City. We enjoyed a fun fall day! The weather was perfect and the kids had a blast.

We began our fun in the city with a train ride! You guessed it--they robbed Garrin and Ashlyn. Luckily Nana "D" and Papa "D" had only given them pennies as they rode the Silver Dollar Steam Engine. After the train, it was off to the Flooded Mine boat ride. Ashlyn and Garrin had fun shooting at the miners while Brayden was on the look out. Next, it was off to the Grand Exposition for lots of carnival fun! Garrin and Ashlyn rode their first roller coaster with Trishna and Rachelle. They quickly obtained their green wrist band from the measuring station where they were now entitled to many fun rides. Garrin and Ashlyn had a tea party with Matt and Terry in the Spinning Tea Cups. Then, it was off to fly high in the butterflies. All three cousins flew in circles with Terry and Rachelle. Before lunch, we made our way to the ladybugs where Garrin and Ashlyn went in circles. We had lunch by the Silver Dollar City waterfall and then it was off to Geyser Gulch. We ended our time together splashing in the water.

It was a fun time together. We can't wait to go back soon!

Potty Time!

It's potty time! Garrin has been very curious this week about using the potty. He has tried using the potty everyday at school. Garrin has been asking the teacher if can sit on the potty. She has been wonderful to let him try. So far he has been pretty successful!

Garrin has some exciting new things as he begins his new bathroom adventure! He has been wearing pull-ups instead of diapers at school. Tonight, we broke out the new Thomas the Tank Engine underwear! He had fun running around like a train wearing his new underwear. Before bath time he even shook his little Thomas booty! You can also see his fancy new Thomas potty seat as climbed all aboard the potty.

We have quite the adventure ahead of us as we potty this weekend!
