Friday, October 29, 2010 - Busy Day!

Friday was a busy day, but a fun day. It began at 10:00 am at Taeya's school. They had a cute little program where the kids sang fun songs. Taeya was funny to watch, sometimes she was singing and into it, other times she just sad there with her elbows resting on her knees and her hands on her cheeks just looking around! It was still very cute. After the program they have a fun little carnival and pizza for lunch. We had a great time.

Taeya (Daphne from scooby doo), and Ashlynn (elephant)

After the carnival we ran a few quick errands, came home and put Anastyn down for a nap. While she was napping I finished making her bumble bee skirt (nothing like waiting til the last minute right??). Around 2:30 we headed up to Gord's work to go some office trick or treating. It was fun and the girls got lots of candy!
After trick or treating we got some dinner and headed up to Frightmares at Lagoon (another tradition that I was willing to skip out on this year but Gordon insisted). We really did have a fun time, Friday night was nice and warm, we didn't even need jackets until the sun went down. Because it was a friday night the kiddie sections wasn't very busy so we could just hop on most of the rides. Taeya enjoyed watching all the little shows! She really liked her little visit from the "Wolf Man!"

I tried to put Anastyn on the boats with Taeya and I know she would have liked it once the boat started moving, but I didn't fight her on it! Taeya enjoyed it though.

I did insist on Anastyn going on the cars though, she cried until the car started moving then she cried when we had to take her out of the car (I know this picture isn't very good but we didn't really get a good one and it was one of Anastyn's favorite rides). There are tears in her eyes from initially putting her on the ride, but there really was a smile under that binki!

Me and the girls on the "boat" ride, we stayed on this ride 3 times in a row because Anastyn kept signing "more, more, more." Earlier I took Taeya on Tidal Wave, she was a little afraid, she didn't like all the butterfies in her tummy!

Dad and the girls on the train - Anastyn is getting very tired as you can see but Taeya was still going strong. We actually saw the animals this time, it was really nice not to be staring into empty cages!

We all really do enjoy watching the little performances during Frightmares.
Every year I take a picture of the girls on the Merry-Go-Round, it started when Taeya was only 2 months old, and last year Anastyn was only 6 weeks old. Gordon was getting us some dinner and he had the camera and I figured we would go on the ride again later that night but we never did, so I didn't get my picture. Otherwise everything was perfect and we had a really fun night at Frightmares! I'm glad Gordon insisted on keeping with tradition!
