Oaks Park

Jane and John took the kiddos and I to Oaks Park yesterday. Jack and Lauren loved the rides and enjoyed going on them with Grandma. Who know she was such a dare devil? =) John held Charlie and enjoyed the "quiet" slow rides. The morning ended with a picnic lunch at the park. Thanks for a great morning!!I think I am going to look back at this picture and think, wow, Charlie was going through a not-so-cute phase. With his hair, silly smile and togue sticking out, do you blame me?

But, the above picture shows how happy he was in Grandpa's arms all morning. He loved watching the rides, seeing the smiles and hearing the fun squeals from Jack and Lauren.

Ready to race in his car.
Lauren chose the purple car.

Ready for the boat ride. This was one of the favorites of the day.

Love this one!!

In line for the balloon ride. Nice peace signs Jack.

Charlie occupied his time by sucking his thumb.

The whole group. This was Charlie's first ride ever! Even if the ride wasn't too exciting, Charlie did great.

Grandma was the only one to take the kiddos on the tilt-a-whirl. Oh, just looking at this ride made John and I dizzy.

Watching Jack and Grandma go down the slide together. This was the only ride Lauren didn't want to go on.

Jack and Grandma raced down the slide. The photo finish clearly shows Jack as the winner!!
