Yesterday, we serendipitously came across a wonderful pioneer-type gathering at Wheeler Farm ..we had decided the night before to go for an eearly (read: cool) breakfast picnic.
Emily likes to have picnics on picnic blankets..not picnic tables. So, we stopped by our favorite McBreakfast place and got McPancakes and some McYogurt..and had ourselves a McPicnic.
We spotted booths being set up..saw the pony ride man, smelled the cotton candy and mini-doughnuts {of which we had no room for after McEating..}
So, we got our faces McPainted..
We took photos..
Emily learned a lot of new-old things..
Like cow patty tossing, marbles, what an out-house looks like..
how to milk a cow {to practice on rubber gloves} feed the ducks, bean bag toss, and making a button whirligig game..
wHeW!
Then it was home and water coloring, and to make Grandma Evelyn's cake for her 2nd birthday celebration..and to have a great evening with family, friends and the pups..
Hope you have a wonderful Monday and wait till you see what we did today!..Hint: it was SEW fun!!
-me..and Emily

Button Whirlygig games! We used to make these when we were kids, Dad taught us how, we called the Opiops. A birdy told me you ran into one of my CQI friends! What a small world! I love the photo mosaics, what a wonderful week-end!
I sooo want to be your Grandaughter too. What great Grandparents you two are and so much fun. I'm older of course and much larger than Emily but I like to play too. Hah! so glad you three are having a good time.
What great grandparents you are. I bet you slept well.
Emily looks as if she's having a great time! You and Mr. B. must be exhausted. :D Sitting on the ground for a picnic...ahh, I remember those days. Wonderful face painting for both of you!
What a wonderful way to spend a Sunday. And lucky for you that you happened to show up there just when they were getting ready for a fair.
OH I love picnics on picnic blankets! It looks like you had a wonderful time!
LOVE your face painting!
Wow, what a fun filled day. I know how special it was for you.
