Yesterday I was feeling like SUPER MOM!!!! I was determined to have an outing with BOTH Cale and Keegyn that didn't involve Target, Cub, or the drive-thru at Caribou! So, I put my game face on and we headed out to Nickolodeon Park at the MOA. Yes, some might say that I had lost my mind to have gone there with both of them, ALONE, but to quote a friend -"at least one isn't mobile."
Gettin ready for the big OUTING!!! Right before Cale asked me if I had "alot of money this time" (apparently he wasn't happy the last time we went and still remembers me telling him that I had no more money---man, this kid remembers EVERYTHING!!!)
We started the day with a trip to the fountain so Cale could make a wish. Although he just really didn't comprehend the idea behind it, as he just kept tossing my hard earned money into the water like it was some sort of game with a prize at the end!!!!
Being that we also had Keegyn to consider, Cale was on his own for rides this time. There were only about 4-5 rides that he could actually go on by himself for his height, but most of them were under construction (looks like they're putting some new rides in) so he was actually only able to go on 2 rides. This didn't seem to phase him in the slightest though....he could have ridden on these trucks till the cows came home. Must have gone on them at least 8-10 times...and each time he went on he had to ride in a different color. He cried the first time the ride ended, saying it wasn't long enough. But once I told him he could go back on as many times as he wanted, his face lit up like a christmas tree! And let me tell you, he was none too pleased when they closed the ride for 30min so the girl running it could actually go get a bite to eat!
HONK HONK!!!
During our brief intermission of riding, we made a stop at LegoLand where Cale proceeded to build a city....
...and race some cars....
Then it was off to the city bus for a tour!
All that activity made my little man HUNGRY, HUNGRY, HUNGRY!!! Cale has always loved himself a good corn dog!
Washed down with a little juice...and we're back at it....
The story behind this picture is what cracks me up. Cale was none too pleased that he actually had to ride this train with other people! He much preferred the trucks where he was in control! I felt so bad for the little boy sitting across from Cale cuz he kept saying "hi" to him and trying to talk to him and Cale's response.......turning his head to look out the back of the train. Really??? Not the way to make friends there, Cale!!!
And Keegyn, just along for the ride!!!!
All in all, it was a good day.....Keegyn was so laid back and just enjoyed the scenery! I will admit, that by the end of the day I was completely and utterly exhausted. Yesterday was the first time that I was wishing Cale was NOT potty trained.....cuz MAN, that boy had to pee, and pee, and pee, and pee!!!! I had to keep telling myself to stay calm and bring him back to the bathroom, smiling and excited, even if we had just been there 15min prior.....cuz let me tell you, there were a few times where I just wanted to say "screw it Cale, go in your pants!!"
