Me and the kiddos went to Tahoe over the weekend. The kids were worried that we would be bored because it was just going to be the three of us and there was no friends to play with. Boy were they wrong! We fell into bed each night exhausted! We did so much stuff: parks, the northstar village, melty beads, stamps, sun catchers, movies, wii, read, art with sparkle glue, beach visit, walks, scenic drives, and hot tubing at the community center...
The kids made several jack-o-lanterns out the the
Perler "
melty" beads. Ash made a
melty bead
cellphone that was really creative and
CJ was happy just to sort out the beads into color piles.
We went to go to the "Big Truck Show" that the city of Truckee put on. They had Tractors,
Dump Trucks, Fire Trucks, Ambulances, etc. that you could climb on and in. Exciting right? Nope, the kids said "mom, we already seen all of these. Gpa Stone has the tractors and dump trucks, we climbed in an ambulance at the party at school, and we got to go in a firetruck at Aidans birthday party... can we just go to the park now?" I laughed and then we went to the park. CJ and Ash played at the park till they were tired (and stinky and dirty).
The kids got bored on the way home (traffic was terrible) and they entertained themselves with
their McDonald's happy meal boxes and my camera. I love that my kids can always find something to do!
Silly Gooses!
The fire pits are located around a skating rink and so the kids got to watch people skate and listen to good music while they ate their smores.
CJ kept asking me to hold his marshmallow stick because he wanted to watch the skaters and wanted me to tell him when it was done...
Ashley definitely takes pride in cooking her marshmallow's to the perfect golden brown. She almost liked cooking them more than she liked eating them.... almost...
