Rose Festival and First Laughs

We took our annual trip to the Rose Festival this weekend. It ws so fun seeing Lauren enjoy the rides for the first time..she is finally tall enough! Jack also had a great time. He has now grown out of the "baby" rides and now wants to go on faster ones. Unfortunately, he isn't tall enough to go on most of them. That being said, Jack and Lauren were spoiled rotten and had a great time.

Jack and I on the Scrambler...why do I look so excited?

Lauren's favorite ride was the tiger roller coaster. She went on it three times. Here are her and Papa in the front with Jack right behind them. They loved putting their hands up during the ride.

Jason walked Charlie around the entire time we were there. It was cold and he wasn't too happy.

Jeff and Jack on the bumper cars. This was Jack's favorite ride. Jack loved driving the car all by himself.

I love this one of Lauren!

Holding on to Papa getting a ride! You should have heard the squeals and laughter.

Charlie laughed for the first time yesterday. Nothing is cuter than hearing that! I tried to get it on video...it is below, but it sounds more like grunts than laughter on the tape. But I promise he really was laughing. =)
