Of course, what kid would not love playing with tons of different toys and running around with other kids.
It was cute watching her trying to figure out how to get this fire engine to go all over the park.
It was her favorite toy to play with while we were there. When we left, tears came streaming down the face when she realized it would not be coming home with us.
Sorry Kylee, we will visit the park more often.
It would be thanks to these companies who have towed my car twice now just this week: Monday and today. The best part is with all the cars they tow, you think they would have a pretty nice setup. Nope, the towing places are always out in the middle of nowhere and they always have little trailers where they look like they are on their last leg and you have to stand outside and talk to someone through this little tiny window.
Even though Kylee and I were caught in the rain three times today while we were out doing our dog walks, we actually did not mind getting wet.
Kylee was able to test out her rain coat and rain boots for the first time. Before we had even gone outside in the rain, Kylee kept pointing to her boots and was very excited that she was wearing them.
She enjoyed splashing in puddles, but would cry anytime that she fell in the mud. (Typical girl) I thought if Kylee fell it would be butt first. Oh no, not with this child. She dove face first into a big muddy puddle. Afterward she was crying and I was busting up with laughter. I have a lot of scrubbing ahead of me-both her and her clothes.
Our ward had an activity at Homestead Farms in Poolesville, MD over the weekend.
There were many fresh apples and tomatoes to pick and farm animals to pet. We made sure to enjoy all of these opportunities.
This was Kylee’s and my first time ever picking and eating apples straight from the tree.
(I think that is why we may have gotten a little too carried away with eating so many the first day.)
Step 2: Make it look as appealing as possible
Step 4: Laugh your head off when you have caught Kylee and take many pictures to embarrass her with in the future.
I am sure as you can guess this is one of the dogs that we walk daily. His name is Snoopy and surprisingly he is one of the dogs currently that gives Kylee a run for her money. He can get so exuberant at times and has a hard time controlling himself. He is really sweet, just a little overwhelming at times for Kylee.
He will do anything in order to give Kylee an unlimited supply of kisses. Once he gets going, he is hard to stop. (The gross part, some of the kisses end up being french kisses if Kylee opens her mouth to cry.) The look on her face the first time this happened was priceless. If only I had a camera for it.
I did not even know such things existed. This little guy was randomly dropped off at the stable I work at on Saturdays. He is less than half the size of all the normal chickens and roosters, but what he lacks in size he makes up with attitude. He was kicking all the other rooster's butts.
I even thought about bringing him home and having an apartment porch rooster mascot. But the idea died quickly when I realized I would have to clean its poop and deal with it crowing. I am sure Kurt is glad for that one.
I am grateful that I live in D.C.! I never thought I would see the day that Kurt and I would actually agree on this comment, but that day did come on Sunday.
We enjoyed exploring all of the heritage of downtown Philadelphia, but the ride getting to downtown made me realize that Philadelphia has seen some much better days. I was just amazed by how much of the city is in a rundown condition.
While in Philadelphia we visited the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, Benjamin Franklin's Grave, and Betsy Ross' House.
It was a great experience to see the many places that has had so much impact on making our nation what it is today.
