April 2016 - Week 2 ~ Knott's Berry Farm & Walk4Life

Last weekend was a packed full for us.

On Saturday, the day started out with Katelyn losing her first tooth while eating a Poptart for breakfast.

Then we were off to the annual Walk4Life for a local pregnancy clinic, which is a pro-life clinic that supports abortion alternatives and helps pregnant women and new moms.  We walked as a family for the 2nd year.  We did about half of the walk because the return trip was going to be very uphill and we had a big stroller that was a little difficult to push uphill.  Also, one of the kids announced about 10 minutes into the walk that she had to go to the bathroom . . . .  After the walk they had lunch and the girls were able to get their faces painted and play for a little bit.  We had a few drizzles on us, but overall, the weather was pretty nice.

Then we came home and Kyle demoed the second bathtub & surround and took out the vanity from the downstairs bathroom.

Sunday was Kyle's birthday!  We went out to lunch as a family and then came home and had some dessert later in the afternoon.

We just wanted to keep all the excitement going, so Monday we went to Knott's Berry Farm.  We only took the two big girls as Madison would not have been able to go on most of the rides.  It was the first time Kyle or the girls had been there.  The park was not very busy and we had a great day.  We were there when the opened at 10 and left when the closed at 6.  The girls both enjoyed the rollercoasters that their heights allowed them to go on (Katelyn went on a couple more than Brooklyn).  We all really enjoyed the Log Ride.

Me on a roller coaster with Katelyn.  She is the little tuft of hair you can see next to me.

We stopped to see Snoopy on our way out of the park.

How the World should work according to a 6 year-old:
Katelyn recently made the following comment after reading a book about the revolutionary war.  "They could have done something not so dangerous.  They could have played a game and whoever won, won."
