A Fun Day

By Amy

Yesterday was Family Day in our world. So, after we got up we went to the "Lake Park", as my kids call it. It was a beautiful, cool, sunny day, so it was a great day to be outside! Usually when we go to this lake park, we don't ride any of the carnival rides, but this time, we decided to play on a few. So, the first thing we did was the bumper cars. Brad and I each had a boy and Savannah got to drive her own. It was tons of fun. Peter and Alex hung on for their dear lives while Brad and I crashed into tons of other cars. Savannah pretty much stayed in the middle and spun round'n round!






Then, after the bumper cars, Savannah and I rode the roller coaster. It was a real, go fast,turn up-side-down twice kind of roller coaster. It was great...well at least I thought so! Savannah was a little pale as we got out and didn't want to do it again. I loved it!

When we left the park we ate lunch at Pizza Hut and headed home for naps. Then, after eating a dinner of fruit and popcorn, we had plans to head to a nearby college campus for a Halloween party sponsored by an English club. So, even though our kids don't have much of a concept of Halloween, we told them we were going to a special party where they got to wear some special clothes. So, Savannah wore her princess dress, and looked lovely and attracted quite a crowd!

While we were in the big city last week, we found some Superman outfits for Peter and Alex. They love Superman! We recently have shown parts of the movie Superman Returns and now they often run through the house with their arms up high claiming to be Superman. So, when we saw these outfits, we couldn't pass them up! We planned on saving them for Christmas, but when we got invited to this party, we decided to pull them out. Our boys were thrilled, to say the least! So here are a few pics:

Clearly these are not authentic Superman outfits, but Pedo and Alex loved them just the same! They also were a big hit at the party. I often looked up to see them running through the room with their arms in the air being followed by a group of college students pointing and taking pictures. It was a fun night, but we were all super tired when we returned home!
