Since 1925

Excuse the lack of a "Monday Carter" post...we're all hanging out in our pajamas and the highlight of our day may be when we change out of them! So, in lieu of anything exciting around here, I thought I would share what Carter would deem a little piece of Heaven on Earth.

Friday we embarked on an outing to the Kiddie Park. It is an adorable little place that is full of kids rides that have been operating since 1925. It is full of vintage charm...

and we were lucky enough to be surrounded by friends! The cast of characters included Carter...

The adorable Hudson...

Big brother Jaden...

their B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L baby sister Claire...

and their sweet momma Cayce...

and lucky for us Nate (off early from work) and Grammy and Grandad (who happened to be in town)...

and last, but certainly not least, the cutest baby in town (her dad isn't half bad himself)...

First thing on the agenda was plotting out which ride they should tackle first...

After deliberating they decided to set sail on the high seas...

Huddy and Carter were appropriately operating a boat called "Krazy Kimmy" we just happen to know her...

The waters were rough...

but they were no match for our dynamic duo...

this little munchkin' had a permanent smile on her face...

Krazy Kimmy did her best to outrun Adventurous Amber, in the end it was a tie...

So the kids headed off to fly some fighter jets (or what would have been a fighter jet in 1925)...

Carter managed to socialize and fly her plane at the same time, she's pretty talented...

She can also shoot a gun without looking, that takes talent people...

Flying proved to be fun and Jaden and Carter decided to take a spin in a helicopter...

if only there were sound effect via photo, I'm pretty sure we'd be hearing some vroooooming and whooooooshing....

Meanwhile, safely on firm ground, these two exchanged some sweet smiles and glances...

and we all decided it was time to enjoy a little snack...

Popcorn, Blue Bell, and Diet Dr. Pepper...Can I get an Amen??

After a little fuel the kids headed off for the last ride of the day. A trip on the Carousel, which was built in 1918...

Carter gave her horse some verbal encouragement and sweet pats on the neck...

I can't think of much I don't love about this sweet little girl...

I also love those moments when you find that you are touching the three things that matter most in the world...
