Quin's 2nd Birthday

Yesterday was Quin's 2nd birthday, so we used it as a good excuse to take all the kids to Bonnie Springs. We used to go there when we were kids and we thought that the kids would enjoy it. The day was a lot of fun, but it sure did have a lot of interesting moments. We started off with a picnic, which was great until Teagan threw up everywhere! Then he had to go potty, which was his first time peeing behind a bush. Well, let's just say that his pants got a little wet! So, we all finished eating and had cupcakes, but it was too windy to light the candles. Then we had Quin open his presents. Because of the wind, he did this in the back of my parent's Yukon. The day did get better from there. We rode the train up to the petting zoo and the old western area. The kids had fun, but there were a lot of tears. The train was too noisy, the animals were too close, and I think that most of the kids were just plain tired. But overall, I think that all of the kids had fun. Maybe we'll try again when the kids are a little older!
This is where Teagan spent most of the picnic.

Quin liked to lick the frosting off of his cupcake before he ate it.

The kids all waiting for the train to come.

Teagan riding on the train. Some of the other kids weren't as happy, because the loud train noises scared them.

Quin even cried when he rode on the fake donkey. This is a repeat of the fair when he rode the real horses!

Quin wanted Teagan to hold his hand while he walked around. It was so cute!

On the train ride home, everyone was tired.

  3. That stinks! I am not a fan of all the wind. I am sure out there it was kicking up the dirt too.

    I don't think I have ever been to Bonnie Springs. I should take my kids out there sometime. It is hard to go out with the kids, but if you can do it at 9 months pregnant I can do it too. You have motivated me to check it out.

  4. It was a lot of fun. It's not very big, so you don't have to do a lot of walking. The kids liked the petting zoo, so that made it all worth it.
