Fun Weekend

This weekend there was jumping, lots of animal interaction, and blueberries!  On Friday, we took the kids to the bounce house place and they had such a fun time jumping and playing with the toys.  They had a plasma car that Caleb loved- he called it his airplane.  I think they liked it more than the bounce houses. 

After that, we went to the beef farm to buy some beef and the horses were standing by the fence.  They are always very friendly, so we went to pet them and one of them bit Anna!  It was a playful bite and did not break the skin, but it did leave tooth marks.  She was pretty traumatized but got over it when we fed them apple slices.

Later that afternoon, one of our little turtles went missing in our house.  Caleb has started playing with them and he forgot to put it back in the tank.  We finally found "Frog" sleeping in his closet.

Yesterday, my sweet friend Michelle joined me and the kids for an outing to the Blueberry Festival.  This is a big deal in Nacogdoches, and pretty much the whole town comes out for it.  The kids loved the petting zoo, horse rides, painting, and Thomas the Train ride.  We bought lots of blueberries and the kids ate over a pint yesterday at lunch!

Mixed into all of this we have been watching and pretend-playing Anna and Caleb's new favorite movie, Robin Hood.  I am the Sherriff, Caleb is RH, and Anna is Maid Marion.  I think Anna loves it because there are mean people in the movie, but they aren't scary.  She told me last night that she wants to play RH all day tomorrow. :)
