We had a great Saturday!! We went to a craft fair after the kiddos got up. It was a lot of fun. There were crafters but also live entertainment (singers), a man with a pet monkey that had a routine he did with his monkey, book signers, and a miniature pony walking around that kids could pet. Did I mention the balloon man?
Morgan liked watching the monkey act for about five minutes until her attention span was shot.
She was SCARED to death of the marionettes!! She was running away screaming every time she saw one move! She isn't scared of much so to see her scared of a doll on strings... maybe b/c they were actually odd looking creatures? Daddy got told not to 'antagonize' her by the marionette maker! I thought it was kind of funny... I know that's mean... but I'm the Momma... does that count for anything?
She loved getting her Elmo balloon hat! It lasted for the rest of the fair and then I broke it a little bit in the car ride to the orchard... I felt terrible... Morgan was pulling and prodding at it and then handed it to me and I was just holding it and one of the pieces popped... tears everywhere! I'm sorry peanut, I didn't mean to!! Really it was an accident and I am sorry!!
She loved petting the pony! She wanted to stay and pet her and pet her and pet her! We had to pull her away! The pony was a perfect size for her!! She was talking to the pony and to us about the pony. Her vocabulary is getting more and more amazing!
We got a book signed for her. It's called A Tale of Two Dogs. We got it b/c we looked at the first couple pages and realized that the dog's name was Morgan. How could we resist? (Side note... when we got home and read the book to her the second dog's name was Peanut! How perfect a book for her!! We couldn't believe it had both her names in it!!)
After our fun at the fair we decided to go pick blueberries from a nearby orchard. It was a blast!
We had this talk with Morgan every five minutes:
Momma: "Are we supposed to pick white ones?"
Morgan: "No"
Momma: "Are we supposed to pick red ones?"
Morgan: "No"
Momma: "What color do we pick?"
Morgan: "Blue ones."
Momma: "Do we pick them up off the ground?"
Morgan: "No"
Morgan really had fun picking them!! She did a pretty good job too! I had to 'weed' through hers just to make sure she picked blue ones, but she picked mostly good (yummy) ones! Only a few blue stains on her shorts... par for the course!
After picking our blueberries we headed home. Our good friends asked if they could come over for supper. We were so happy to visit with them! We miss them a bunch and Morgan and Claire get along great!! We ordered in from Red Robin!! Claire, Zandi and Morgan ate some mac-n-cheese, some corn and some blueberries. Then it was the adults turn!
After Uncle Sean, Aunt Jo, Claire and Zandi headed home we took a walk around the neighborhood. Morgan walked and jumped and skipped and made Daddy and I exhausted just watching her! RJ fell asleep in the stroller before we even got out of the driveway...
What a wonderful fun filled day!
p.s. RJ was with us all day too... somehow we didn't get any pictures of him! Sorry bubba!
