On Sunday, Dan & I took Kate to Little A-merrick-a, a fun, old-style amusement park in Marshall, about 20 minutes from our house. It of course brought back tons of memories from my childhood, since my grandpa took Austin and me there every summer. Kate absolutely loved it! It was La Movida Day, which meant there was all this live Mexican music, so Kate was of course dancing up a storm as we waited in line for the rides. She loved the rides, too; we did the ferris wheel, the carousel, the bumper boats, the train (and the round-trip ride is over two miles long, which is pretty neat, and she loved seeing all the animals. There were horses, ducks, geese, an emu, and even zebras--which she thought was just amazing!) and then of course all the little kid rides (a roller coaster, cars, boats, planes, helicopters, etc.) We had so much fun on our little family outing; such a fun Sunday afternoon!
Then yesterday, it was very warm, so I took Kate to Olbrich Beach. She has a book called "Corduroy Goes to the Beach" so I was telling her, "We're going to go to the beach like Corduroy!" and of course she got so excited for that. The beach was pretty fun; I don't know if we'll go to that same one again, because the water seemed very congested with plants, etc. but we sure had fun playing in the sand and trying to build sand castles! It was so cute; as soon as I mentioned the beach, she knew to bring her wagon with sand toys that my aunt Chris got her for her first birthday. We had a blast! And luckily there are tons of other beaches in this area, too, so even though this one wasn't the best, we have plenty of others to try!
