Grant's Farm

Okay, so I'm blogging this a LITTLE late. Last week, we went to Grant's Farm and had a blast. For those who aren't aware, Grant's Farm is a property of Anheuser Busch and since the take over will be sold along with all the other parks. Kaden had never been and we wanted to go before it was sold and possibly closed or whatnot. We met up with Mandy, Jace, and Dylan along with Mary and AJ. Our first order of business was to feed the baby goats a bottle. Kaden loved it, as did the goats. They practically tackled us for those bottles! LOL Here are a few pics of Kaden feeding the goats their bottles.

The boys had so much fun! We saw HUGE turtles and elephants and even got to pet a camel! The camel tried eating Mike's hat and my hair. It was pretty funny.

Mandy, Jace and Dylan in front of the elephants!

Kaden thought the camel was pretty cool!

Chuck E. Cheese please!

Tonight, Mike, Kaden and I went to Chuck E. Cheese to play and have fun. We had a blast. Kaden was dancing and waving to the big characters out front who sing and dance. Mike and I had fun with Ski Ball and the Deal or No Deal game, while Kaden had fun just dumping one token cup out of the other token cup! LOL Here are some pictures from tonight.

Watching Chuck E. Cheese and the gang sing.

Clapping for CEC and the gang!

Playing a game with daddy.

STOMPING SPIDERS!

YAY MOMMY, I GOT THEM!

Driving with daddy.

Oh yeah, and don't forget the fun we had AFTER CEC.... I locked the keys in the car, so my Father-in-law had to drive from his house to ours to get the keys, then to Fairview Heights to CEC to bring us the keys. FIL got lost on the way to CEC so it took him a while to get to us. We went in and played some more games. LOL We won over 280 tickets in that time!! I think Mike won most of them with Deal or No Deal.

My first blog... ever.

Well, I've been considering starting a blog for a while now. I'm a little late starting this blog about my life with a child, but friends have encouraged me to try it enough that I thought, "What the heck." So, here I am. I really don't have too much to talk about tonight, except I'd like to shamelessly AW (attention whore) my son. :)

He said his first sentence today. We went to Wal-Mart and I bought him a matchbox car since his recent obsession has become cars. He sounds like he's from Boston when he says it, it's so dang cute! He was playing with his car once we got home and said, "Go car." OMG, my jaw hit the floor. This is the kid who's gone from only having a 15 word vocabulary to about 25 in just over a week. I'm so excited he's finally talking, but as my mom assures me, I'll soon be wishing he'd just shut up. LOL

Well, I guess I'll call it a night and try this again another day. Oh, and be on the lookout for another blog for work stories. LOL That should be rather entertaining!!
