Fun, Food, & Fantasy...

A fun family day at Knoebles was promised to Shawn a little while ago... so we made it happen today. The weather was Gorgeous with a capital G. Jon invited along a good friend Shane and his wife Carissa to join us in our amusement park adventure. We all had a wonderful time filled with good food, great laughs, and memories to take with.

Rawlings Boys Amusement Park Adventure.

1st French Fry!!

Shawn's very 1st ride all by himself!

Chow Time. Train Time. Ride Time.

He wanted to stay on for another round.

This one seemed to be the favorite. He asked to go back on it several times.

This ride was a no go... he wasn't crazy about going up in the air.

Landon & Shane. Funny thing... Landon gets very upset around new people if you hand him off to them (or if they try to take him)... He warmed up to Shane and Carissa right away! They must have the magical touch ;)

More personality than a barrel of monkeys!

Goof Ball!

Much needed ice cream to cool off after that Haunted House ride. I was skeptical on taking him... but after explaining what it was we were about to do, he insisted on trying it out. A few whimpers and we were done with the ride.... only to have Shawn begging to go back on about an hour later. Carissa and I took him and he seemed to enjoy the end part with the jungle animals the best ;)

Carissa and I went into this shop with "Profession Coasters & Mugs." We found a photographer one and Carissa says to me "Do you ever drink anything?" (she was holding a mug)... Choking back the gut buster laugh inside I kindly said "Oh no, no need for liquids here." A passerby over heard the comments and came up to us and let Carissa know she heard the blunder and gave us a good laugh over it. In case anyone wants to know, I just absorb liquids through the air.
Oh, and I'm sure I will get in trouble if I don't post about reaching out to grab something THROUGH the glass casing. Go me. :)

Mommy's Lil Guy.

Chompy.

Attacky.

Shane ACTUALLY got Jon on this ride!

These two... driving Mommy batty with their "butting of heads." Fathers and sons!

I was so impressed with Landon and how well he did for these two!

Ketchup. Mmm!

The WOW Crew.

Smirky & Mr. Impatient.

The Guys!!!

Watching these two try to feed Landon was hilarious. Landon just wanted the food shoveled in his mouth. He wasn't used to "their way" and got so frustrated. Jon and I got a HUGE kick out of Landon's demonstration of feeding time :)
