On Friday night, we drove down to the Lake Elmo Bank and had hot dogs, roasted corn on the cob, and ice cream. Nathan got to ride a pony...
Mathew got brave and discovered that not every creature is out to eat him! My guess is that despite his new interest in large rabbits, the Easter bunny is going to evoke tears and screaming this Spring.
Mathew found the llama very interesting, and the llama must have thought the same of Mathew. They couldn't stop staring at each other.
And the biggest shock... timid little Mathew LOVED feeding the goats. He fed them again and again. He even convinced Grandma to buy another quarter's worth of oats so he could feed the llamas too!
Saturday afternoon, we headed to downtown Lake Elmo to meet up with the Christensens to watch the parade, which was VERY short. Mostly emergency vehicles, much to Nathan's pleasure. He particularly liked the giant snow plow. Then we headed to Lions Park, where Nathan discovered he loved the giant inflatable slide. Mathew, who was nap deprived did not particpate much.
Nathan stood in line for a balloon animal. Grandma handed him the sheet of choices. It didn't take him more than 2 seconds to decide he wanted an Octopus. He got a GIANT octopus that looks alarmingly like Homer Simpson.
Then we (Grandma) stood in line to get face painting. Again, an easy decision. Spider-Man! I was amazed at how still Nathan sat. The only other times I've seen him this still is when he is asleep or watching Cars.
Meredith selected a butterfly and flowers. I love this picture of her looking in the mirror with her dad whispering in her ear.
I'd say the face painting was a great success!
