We went to a place in Salem that has all sorts of fun things to do for little kids, good for ages 2-8.It has things to ride.
Little houses and kitchens and a dress up area.
It had a tricyle run, but Annie and Payton's legs were too short, so Jessica was the "power".
Payton started out on the little slide. She was scared to go down the big slide.
But peer pressure finally got to her and she followed Annie up the ramp to the BIG slide.
Then she thought . . . "Oh no, what have I done?" But after she slid down she did a "celebration dance", she was so pleased with herself.

Annie thought she had enough sand and decided to "relax in the beach chair".

At the end of a fun day, Annie called ahead for reservations at the Olive Garden.
That is where we went to end our fun day, Yummy!
That is where we went to end our fun day, Yummy!Owen didn't get to play and he slept through our time at the Olive Garden; his new year goal is to loose weight - no just kidding, the doctor says he is a healthy big boy.
On New Year's Eve, Crystal and her friends went to the Hoof and Holler at the fairgrounds. It is a rodeo with bull riding and a dance afterwards. They stayed for the rodeo only and she was home about 10:00. Payton and I played and Owen slept the whole time Crystal was gone. Jim had to chaperone the church dance, so I had to wait to kiss my honey after midnight.
New Year's day was spent watching football (The Rose Bowl was a big disappointment. Where was Penn State's game?). We are still sulking about the Beavers not making it there. Anyway, we played guitar hero, which I am horrible at, watched movies, ate goodies and just hung out.
Grandpa Jim liked his "6 Sweeties" mousepad. It took Kevin a while to join in the unwrapping.
Payton unwrapped our gift to her, almost as big as her.
Sophia was a happy unwrapper and also the quickest unwrapper.
Kelly unwrapped a memory of home.
peddy ped shoes
vision night goggles
little people princess and carriage
piano
and a whole lot more
