Spring Fling 2014

Isabelle's school's biggest fundraiser is their yearly Spring Fling.  It's a blast! Bounce houses, pony rides, a train, food, and music.  We went last year and everyone was looking forward to it again this year.  Last year Mike got to come the whole time.  This year he got held up at work and didn't make it home until the end.  I remember last year having the thought "How do parents keep track of their kids solo?!"  And then I got to do it!  We had a great little system, mostly because Luke was tired and just wanted to be in the stroller.  Isabelle and Michael were great at the buddy system.  

Haha!  Michael wanted to go on this one for all the big kids.  Isabelle took charge and literally brought him to me.

Luke and Spencer fell asleep about 30 minutes in and slept for an hour.  SO NICE!!!

We met up with the Greers later.  Caylee picked up Spencer and he just snuggled into her.  My kids LOVE this girl!  "Tay-Wee!!!"  

Ready to go!!!!  So excited!

Buckling in for the train ride.  I love how much she takes care of him and he lets her.  They were seriously so good! 

Pony rides!  Despite the picture, they loved it, as always.  Is it worth the 30 minute wait?  They apparently think so.  

The biggest fail of the night, was totally my fault. Isabelle wanted her face painted, and the line was FOREVER long, and Michael didn't.  I told her we would do it as soon as Dad got there so I didn't have to wait with everyone (it was also by the blaring speakers, not the greatest spot for baby ears).  We met up with Mike and immediately ran to get in line and they had closed the line.  Tears, devastation, and the meltdown began.  It was so sad.  Luckily we found out a local restaurant did kids eat free and face painting on Tuesdays, so we promised her a trip there.  That cheered her right up. All in all, a fun family night.
